Why is Omar at 3rd and Conrad at 2nd?

Conrad struggled mightily the last week of the season at 3rd. He has looked worse at 2nd, booting a couple very simple ground balls. He now has committed 5 errors in 5 games.

And that run shouldn't have scored, Posey was out by 2 feet on the stolen base attempt.

Yah I agree.

It hurt in the 1st inning, when the Braves got a double to start the game, and they can't get him in.

They've had 2 baserunners, both to lead off innings. Neither runner advanced. That has been their biggest problem all season. It was tough because you don't want guys like Heyward and Lee laying down sacrifice bunts that early in the game, but in a game that is going to be low scoring, you have to take advantage of those situations.

Another great escape job by Lowe and Venters following a lead off triple. Let's see some good at bats and maybe a baserunner or two. Put some pressure on Lincecum.

DAMMIT DLee! Swing at a ball that almost hit your back shoulder for strike 3. Would have tied the game. smh.

Welp, Lincecum was pretty much lights out. Braves had opportunities to score but didn't take advantage. Lowe had a great outing as well and the bullpen was solid just as they were all season.

Great game by Lincecum. This will probably end up being the best series of the all of the Divisional Series.

Infante leads off game 2 with a solid single to left. Please get him at least to second...baby steps...

Heyward pops up in foul ground and Sandoval and Posey collide. Both very slow to get up.

Not sure about the Giants'. I think their regular home jerseys are among the best in baseball. The Braves have worn their blues at least once in every road series this season.

Cox ejected. Looked like a bad call.

Alright...another bad call leads to Bobby Cox getting ejected. Man these umpires have been bad in every series this postseason.



That was also a very weak ejection for it being the second inning.

Expanded replay, please.

Umpiring has been pathetic all season.

Yeah the MLBPA might want to get that meeting they have scheduled with the umpires union moved up. I'm sure they can find a day between the division series and LCS.

Jesus Christ. Heyward called out on a ball 5 inches off the plate.
