"The Giants have home field because of the ASG" [ ]
That is certainly was. But the thing about Sandoval is, he'll do stuff like that, almost regularly. One of the homers he hit earlier in this postseason (I want to say it was against the Reds) was on a pitch about three inches inside, up against his chest, and he somehow squared it not only to hit it well over 400 feet down the right field line, but square it up enough to not allow it to hook, to stay true and fair all the way.
His bat speed is astounding. The frustrating thing about him is his inability to sustain that; he gets fat and slow and can look terrible. But when he's "on," this guy reminds me of a young Tony Oliva. He can flipping hit.
Dear god, and I thought those SNL skits were just jokes....
The SNL skits were more credible.
Presumably Justin Verlander hitting.
He's looked every bit this awful ever since he arrived in San Francisco in late July. Hideous, this guy is.
ASG as reason it's in SF right now [X]
They DIDN'T do a flashback to the ASG, though. Just mentioned it.
Verlander has 33 major league PA without a hit, walk, or HBP. That is the most for anyone with a career OBP of .000. He is also 0-2 in the postseason.

Dude, seriously? Obviously I hope you're right, but, come on. There is a whole lot of baseball yet to be played tonight.
Three innings off Zito and no runs.
Man, baseball is awesome.That baseball was awesome, at least.
I'm a little bit skeptical of the park factor being as extreme as it looks this year. But even so, Zito was better in 07, 09, and 10. He happened to win more games this year because the Giants offense was better!
You play all season, and then you can't score off Barry Zito and the ball hits the base. And people attach significance to the results of the post-season. And I do, because my blood pressure is through the roof. What a scam. TV off.
Giants lead series, one game to none.
Ah, well. What's another 28 years, right?
Barry Zito is confidently handling the Detroit batters.
I don't know which of these two things is more improbable.
What a drama queen. Didn't you bow out for the season during the divisional series?
Seriously. And my favorite part was that Panda was seriously jogging on that second one. It was a HR or a single for him.
Pagan's double actually isn't a huge WPA play - Fangraphs has it around +.02. Of course, Fangraphs isn't compensating for the fact that Scutaro was up next and he's impossible to get out.
This.
Yeah, I know, but it did open things up for the rally. That all started with a two-out grounder (literally) to third.
Obviously it wasn't even possible to hit in 11 straight games in a postseason until 1969. Here's the number of TOTAL playoff games played by the Giants since then:
1971: 4
1987: 7
1989: 9
1997: 3
2000: 4
2002: 17
2003: 4
2010: 15
So I'd say Scutaro had a bit of an advantage over Cepeda, McCovey and Mays, who never even played in 11 games in a single postseason.
Ha!
How the hell do the Giants have 4 runs and the Tigers have zero runs? Just got home.
Oh, I'm not disputing the awesomeness at all. At the same time, if not for Scutaro and Panda, it'd be a relative footnote.
Line drive hits pitching rubber, ricochets back to catcher who tags runner that broke from third. [ ]
Oh, you and your "facts."
That wasn't the first one tonight. When Scutaro hit that single, the replay showed him trotting to first and pumping his fist a bit, instead of running his ass off in case there was a throw home and a chance to advance.
