One bad inning in 2009, two bad innings against the Cards in game 6 2013, and one bad inning in 2014 when he was left in the game way too long because of LAD's ****** bullpen before finally being replaced by Pedro Baez who promptly walked a guy and gave up a dinger, ironically enough the guy who just replaced Kershaw tonght, threw 1 pitch and hit a guy to bring in a run, and was pulled.


Never mind all the times he's pitched well, that overshadows everything else he's done. Continue with this stupid narrative I guess.

You say "Giants fan" as if I am unable to come up with an unbiased argument.  He has given up 8 earned runs in 10.2 innings in these playoffs.  His career playoff ERA is almost 5.  But stupid narrative.  

He was pitching on 3 days' rest and left the game with 2 runs on the board. And yeah, it is a stupid narratve. He's pitched well in the postseason more often than not. I thought this idea that he can't pitch in the playoffs finally died last year when he shut down the Mets in an elimination game on the road (also on short rest).

You say "Giants fan" as if I am unable to come up with an unbiased argument.

My bad, must've been from your insistence that Brandon Crawford, Xander Bogaerts, and a few other shortstops are better than Corey Seager, even though Seager's been a top 5 player in baseball this season regardless of position.

ugh

Anyone feel like Maddon is going to his bullpen a bit too early?

I feel like he did last night. You leave yourself really short in the pen when everyone has been used after expecting 6 outs from Chapman.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Yeah that wasn't a homer

 

[stanfan]

THATS a hr clearly hit the railing

 

[EddieDoyers]

Maddon should have stuck to Lackey

 

[stanfan]

How is that not a hr? I've seen them call that a hr in the park before

 

[based mod]

How many pitchers is Joey going thru tonight?

 

[EddieDoyers]

Cubs really gonna choke today

 

[based mod]

Stay hot Gillaspie

 

[danger style]

 

[EddieDoyers]

How many pitchers is Joey going thru tonight?

Been sayin
He goes to the bullpen way too early

 

[stanfan]

Quite a beast? Oh you mean the team that's won three World Series titles in the last six years? Any other coast and they'd be called a dynasty

 

[nomnom]

Believen is real holy helll

 

[All_$tar1997]

Kerry wood ain't walking through that door

 

[the collector]

Although the Cubs have been the best team from start until now I don't see the Giants winning this series as a upset.
