The Dodgers series took a lot out of them.
Couple that with a less than healthy Wainwright and the loss of Yadi, it was going too be too much to overcome.
I thought Matheny made a mistake pitching Wainwright.
I know he's your ace, and he was on full rest, but he wasn't 100%, plus you were going to have to win games 6 & 7 too.
I would've tried to get my team to gut out game 5, go to my ace game 6, and then let the chips fall where they may game 7.
The point is moot. Wainwright pitched well, and didn't cost them the game.

I'm going to go against the grain and pick the Giants to win the WS. ( Though I bet Vegas has them as a favorite)
I think they're too well seasoned in the playoffs to get steamrolled by the Royals.
The Royals eliminated one team with a great comeback and ousted two other teams before they knew what hit them.
The Giant's know how to hit back.

Should be a fun series.

Dom, you're right about the Giants recent playoff experience, I would give them a big edge too.

But I will be rooting for the Royals,

Same here. About Avila Tom, I think he's done. He calls a good game for the pitchers but his bat is worthless. Worse yet, he used to be good at keeping runners in check but that too seems to be a thing of the past. Honestly if we had a catcher that could hit .250 consistently and had a decent arm I'd be content.

Both the NCLS & ALCS were good series...alot closer than the 4-0 and 4-1 records would indicate. I agree that the Giants have the experience, but the Royals are clicking on every cylinder. I will be rooting for the Royals.

That game was over fast last night.
Once SF got out of the third unscathed, you could see the air come out of the KC balloon.
2nd and 3rd no out, somebody has to hit a sac fly there.
The one thing you can't do is have back to back strikeouts in that spot.
KC looked like they knew they missed their chance.

Terrible job by Shields last night, too.
You can't spot Bumgarner 3 runs before he even takes the mound.
He's been bad all postseason.
FWIW, none of the big 3 free agent pitchers made any more money with their postseason performances.
Shields has been bad, Lester coughed up the game to the Royals, and Scherzer spit the bit late also.

MLB really needs to have the Royals win tonight.
Down 0-2, all the bandwagon Royals fans with abandon ship, and nobody will watch.
The biggest draw to this series is the Cinderella story.
Nobody will care once the fairy dust starts to fade away.

They're killing Yost for bunting Escobar.
I don't have a problem with it because that's how the Royals play, manufacture runs.
I have a biiger issue with letting Aoki hit next.
You can't go with a lefty bat against the lefty Bumgarner in that spot.

Exciting World Series to watch. I'm a bit disappointed that the Royals didn't win, but Congratulations to the Giants for their third win in five years.
