I’ve been watching baseball for a really long time and last night goes to show you, just when you think you know the game, you truly don’t. I guess that’s what’s so great about baseball. You just never know. I along with many others thought last nights game would be a pitcher’s duel. No way would this game be a slugfest where both teams score 18 runs and 25 hits, but that is exactly what happened. The best pitcher of the postseason the last two years, Cliff Lee, lasted only four and two thirds innings while the great Tim Lincecum lasted only an inning more. I really thought we’d see an exciting pitcher’s duel but instead I was kept up most of the night by an exciting hitter’s duel. Maybe it’s me, but baseball (and I guess to an extent sport’s in general) is just unpredictable.
Doesn’t that make it great though? When you think you have it all figured out, games like this happen. If you had told me before the game that it wouldn’t be a pitcher’s duel and that one team would score 11 runs and get 14 hits, I would have guessed that team was the Rangers. The Giants were one of the lowest scoring teams in the league, the team is built around their pitching so there is absolutely no way I saw this coming. Great game and I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.
Who said it wouldn’t be an exciting series? I was truly into the game last night like it was my own team.
