I agree with you. SF's pitching will be too good for KC tonight.

I agree with you. SF's pitching will be too good for KC tonight.

Indeed. That's what it turned out to be!

Shields actually played pretty well, despite the loss. It was 2-0 for the Giants until they really blew it open on KC's relievers in the bottom eighth inning.

The good news for KC is that they may not have to see Bumgarner again (unless he comes in as a reliever).

Peavy and Ventura scheduled to pitch on Tuesday. Hopefully the Royals force a game seven. If they do (and if KC loses game seven, even though I hope they don't lose the decisive game [if it gets there]), I think they'll have the best [and set a] record by a World Series runner-up in the current format, at 11-4.

Winner take all game tonight at 8:00 PM ET, after the Royals won in Game 6.

Still have a feeling the Giants will win game 7...

[Kreegs]

Bumgarner should just pitch tonight again. The Royals can't hit him, and game 7 would provide enough adrenaline to get hime through half the game!

[Kreegs]

Simply unreal pitching performance for SF. One of the best individual pitching efforts ever!

Another season of long ball play...

Royals, Tigers are off to a fast start (although the latter is losing today's game so far).

The World Series champions have lost three straight, including the one here from a familar face facing another pitcher who we also know well from the 2014 World Series.

I'm getting ESPN Australia which show a Baseball game Monday to Thursday and Saturday. (Sunday to Wednesday and Friday games in USA due to time difference)

I have a friend who support the Orioles so I'm gonna support them. But looking at the schedule there's not many Orioles games and a ton of Yankee and Red Sox games so it'll probably be me just supporting the team that plays the Yankees or Red Soxs.
