Pitching is dominating right now. Keep that going and I am feeling really good about this team. A+ effort from the bullpen tonight too.

Hoping we can sweep so Hendricks can ice that arm for a week or so.

He'll pitch game 5 right-handed and drive in the winning run.
That's bananas!

FYI, Giants were down 0-2 in 2012 and then had to go on the road and play three straight in Cincinnati because Selig absolutely wanted the second Wild Card to start in 2012 and won out. Then they were down 3-1 in the NLCS and came back and won it on the backs of superstars Barry Zito and Marco Scutaro.

It's now do-or-die for the Giants, the Rangers & the Red Sox for their games tomorrow & on Monday against their competitors, as neither of those teams can afford to lose anymore games.

Tomorrow could be David Ortiz's last game...
I'm okay with that.

Wonder if that fact will help enhance he and his teammates' performance.

Good. This farewell tour for a borderline HOF candidate has been ridiculous and foolish.
Jim Thome has better career numbers and that guy left the game to barely a sound.
Ortiz hot dogs and hand slaps his way to the box, taking 40 seconds between pitches and does some commercials and all of a sudden the guy is getting farewell gifts everywhere he goes?
It's been embarrassing for the game, will be glad when it's over.

I don't mind the retirement tour stuff. It's totally harmless and at worst adds a bit of texture to the game. Especially if teams handle it they way the Orioles did.
Good points, Crispy. Those teams need big games out of their pitchers, batters, fielders and 3B coaches too. Because if their opponents score more runs than they do, they'll lose and go down 0-3 in a best of 5 series.

He would have had it next year had the Stanks not forced him out in the most disrespectful and evil of manners. That's why we root for first class organizations like the Red Sock and the Marines, Rando.
Speaking of the Yanquis, RIP Sanjuro

According to BBREF, Ortiz is most similar to Frank Thomas, Fred McGriff, Manny, Thome and Raffy Palmeiro among retired players.
Didn't see such a fuss when those other guys retired. Thomas deserved a "farewell tour" according to this new level of above average player quality that gets them criteria.
But because Ortiz played in Boston all of a sudden the guy's a first ballot HOFer? GTF outta here.

i think it's more of just a stupid recent trend than the boston thing. i think it started with chipper jones. now any time a HOF caliber player retires, we have to have a year long circle jerk over him. i can't stand it.

Jon Lester can allow 34 ER in his next start - without recording an out - and still have a better career postseason ERA than David Price.

I can't wait until we have the Mike Trout retirment tour sponsored by Nike.

This honestly feels like a Rangers W today. Lewis has been, apparently, good against the Jays rhbs, while Sanchez has been fairly soft against the Rangers this year.

Yeah, the Jays being as banged up as they are makes them a bit vulnerable even though they are in command of the series. A rest would be good for this team.
Oh god no.

And Adrian Beltre is a far better player than Jones was. But Beltre isn't getting a tour.
The whole dumb farewell tour thing is atrocious.
Bah, letting this go now. Dumb thing to get riled up about but ffs just go out and play the game, retire, then show up as an analyst or play by play guy somewhere.

Grab bag of news, possible sweep edition:
https://mobile.twitter.com/richarddeitsch?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
TBS will add pitch count to graphics package for remainder of playoffs.

Not surprisingly, no more beer cans at the Rogers Centre for the rest of the playoffs, switching to cups.

Prepare for "Why was Mike Trout so great? He only won one MVP!"
I'm down for some Mike Trout isn't even the best player in baseball/Lebron parallels.

I mean it's not like dudes are actively asking for these farewell tours.
Ortiz is on record saying that he wished he would waited to announce his retirement until after the season so he wouldn't have to deal with this.
