Game 5 - Bumgarner, 'Nuf Said

Game 5 was all Bumgarner and if you didn't know better you would start praying hard as Joe Buck and crew pretty much called the 2nd coming of Christ and his name in Bumgarner. Ok, now I am sure when the Royals were wheeling and dealing in their wins, the Giants fans got tired on hearing about how incredible Lorenzo Cain is and how HGH is the greatest thing since sliced bread. But is also might by my frustrated Loyal Royal fan heart speaking but you gotta admit they were laying it on thick even about Giants manager Bochy and how is has pulled all the right strings when earlier in the series they were saying that Yost actually out managed him in Game 2. But for quite a ways in the future Joe Buck will call World Series games and if the Royals are in it, oh well. It is what it is. Win and those things won't upset us.

To the game... Bumgarner complete game shutout. That's about it really. While James Shields did step up and pitch a nice game and deserved better, the usually tight defense and 2-3 lapses that cost them this game. A couple of balls went past Escobar that usually don't and Dyson misplayed a line drive single in center and could have easily thrown out The Panda. Because he is well, large and slow and even held up for a second on a ball hit to short center and if  Dyson fields it clean and makes a decent throw, then Sandoval is out by 6 feet. Now it's 0-2 Giants and that was all they would need.

One bright spot was another great catch by Lorenzo Cain... LINK HERE if Video wont play !

Shields pitched very well. He made an adjustment to where he was holding the ball in his motion. Up chest high instead of waist high like it was in game 1. It worked, he got a lot of swings and misses and kept the Royals close. But not close enough with Bumgarner on the hill.
