I wont' even talk about the Storen coming in thing since if you cant see that taking out your pitcher when he hasn't given up a hit in like a whole bunch of innings with two outs and a runner on because of an ump's mistake is stupid... the Giants said they were most pleased to see Storen and they showed it....
some people let their fandom get in the way of common sense..
so you're suggesting, in hindsight, it was the incorrect call to pull zimm and go with storen?
what a bold take.
look dude i didn't film myself talking with my friend at last night's game at Nats Stadium telling him I didnt like the hook so I can't "prove it" but you'll just have to take my word for it that I didn't' like it.... or not.
I mean WTF? Why does it have to be assumed that its in "hindsight"
Aren't there many reasons why at the time someone would have felt Jordan should have been left in? He'd been unhittable (three hits all night), was just at 100 pitches, etc and there were two outs and a runner on first on a questionable base on balls.
everyone all of a sudden becomes an expert in hindsight. i'm not questioning whether or not that your word is good, i'm suggesting that everyone has those same questions and thoughts throughout the game. i probably speak for everyone when i say i question moves, pitch choice, pitch location, batter line-up, rotation use, bullpen use, etc. constantly. rarely do my "scenarios" play out, and when they do, i don't pat myself on the back for them. i asked the same question "is this really the move matt williams should be making? jordan's been on fire the last 18 innings". but then i remembered that ball yelich crushed a few days ago, and i saw a frustrated zimmerman who wasn't getting his calls, and i saw a hungry buster posey and pablo sandoval waiting who could easily make it 2-1 in one swing. zimmerman was attacking the zone, as he always does, but that strike zone seemed to get narrow that inning. storen was brought in to pitch around the zone, and that pitch he made to pablo just hung up a little bit too much. sometimes hitters still can get the best of you. plus, you've got the best pen in baseball that's obviously going to have to be trusted on throughout the post-season.
