2016 NLDS - San Francisco Giants vs Chicago Cubs

can't imagine watching that as a Giants fan. brutal. in obvious hindsight, felt like you needed to leave one of those relievers in there. Like they would each throw 3 balls right away... needed to settle in a bit. props to the cubbies who I will hate all postseason & until i perish from the earth.

i would have left law in but whatever

Should have put Cueto in for an inning, ha.

I was kind of looking forward to a game 5 and the Cueto/Bumgarner two-headed monster taking on the Cubs (obv. MadBum was coming in to save that if they had a lead).

Really only Zobrist's ball was hit hard in that inning, so yeah, maybe Bochy should have left one of his guys in to get settled.

This bit from Schoenfield's column really blew my mind:

We've never seen this happen before -- at least not in the postseason. Only three times in playoff history had a team rallied from a three-run deficit in the ninth inning, and all three of those games, amazingly, were in 1986. Those teams (the Angels in Game 4 of the ALCS, the Red Sox in Game 5 of the ALCS and the Mets over the Astros in Game 6 of the NLCS) all needed extra innings to pull off a win.

this would hurt so much worse for me if i hadn't just gone through the NBA finals
