I like to think in probability distributions, so I think game 5 is is about 62% SF, game 6 is about 55% KC, and game 7 is a tossup.

So, given that, if we win tonight I'd say its 86% for KC.

Good lord. They have a 4 hour window block for this game and it still isn't likely long enough. College football games are way too damn long.

You make needing two feet in in college football and you reduce the games by 45 mins at least. I swear, shit is way too long.

No way could a team win 3 in a row.

They didn't have the Cerberus bullpen though

I know, but it's baseball. Shit happens. The Cerberus bullpen doesn't help much if it if we're down 5-1 going into the 7th.

Clearly you didn't see the game 3 thread, everyone was saying Ned was making all the right moves w/ the lineup. If that isn't a jinx what is

He's on ignore now.

Maybe 29 years and a lot of suffering from now, he will understand.

Bob Dole hopes the KC fans travel as well as they did last night. That was AWESOME!

I absolutely think Herrera needs the day off. Frasor is fine. He's not a cyborg, but he's pretty damned serviceable. Remember when he pitched the bottom of the 9th in Anaheim and got Trout, Pujols, and Kendrick 1-2-3?

Finnegan, Frasor, Davis, Duffy, and Holland should all be ready to go...and you could get 2 innings from Wade IF you absolutely need it. It's not preferable, but it's there.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Duffy.

I want him if we're in trouble early.

Holy **** tcu has 75 points

That's a basketball score

CaliforniaChief · 10-25-2014, 05:15 PM

One thing I like about Vargas is that he's such a change up to what the Giants had seen from Ventura and the bullpen. They seem to be a good fastball hitting team, so hopefully Vargas can hit his spots and keep the Giants' bats out of rhythm.

And yeah, if he struggles or is even just doing ok, Duffy would be a nice counter to Vargas. More velocity.
