I asked the question last night, but since Duffy got used, who's the long reliever for tonight if Ventura needs to get pulled?

My guess would be Jason Fraser.

Also just learned Jayson Nix is on the WS roster in place of Christian Colon. Yost gotta Yost.

the explanation i heard yesterday is that he is slightly more versatile

He can strike out swinging and looking!

Because Bumgarner was throwing strikes at that point.

Huh? He was all over the loving place and had just walked the bases loaded.

I wouldn't throw strikes at Cain with an empty base and two outs either. Check out where the ball that Hosmer's swung at was.

He was wild in the Escobar and Aoki ABs and only got Ks because they couldn't help swinging at crap. He had also just given up a double to Moustakas, who normally can't hit LHPs at all. The Hosmer pitch was a strike, but take a pitch or two and maybe get a hitter's count at least.

Someone should tell Ventura not to slap at the ball coming back at him with his pitching hand.

Time to show him the Dennis Leonard 1982 highlight reel.

I really wish MLB.TV would allow the radio audio overlays for the postseason, but nope.

If you had told me 3 days ago that Aoki would register the first 2 OF assist in the World Series, I would have thrown out my prescriptions.

Aw poo poo, Yost putting in Herrera even though it's the sixth. He's learning.

He's actually been doing this fairly regular since getting burned bad late in the regular season.

So I had to miss most of the last two innings while I picked my wife up from work. What was the in-booth drama I missed?

The shirts behind home plate are pretty amusing.

I have better things to do then watch a blowout that I know the ending to? Like not watch a death on the mound.
