World Series - What is Happening?

Last night the Royals won Game 2 of the World Series 7-2. My predictions were correct unlike last time but to tell the truth I was shocked. I wanted the Royals to win Game two but another blowout.....
This leaves me to think (as it probably does you too) who will win Game three? I am speechless. I thought it would be a close game but nope, another blowout. I will admit it was not too bad to watch because my team was winning. Apology to all the Giants fans out there who had a heartbreaking loss last night.
                                                       
First, I think that the Giants pitcher Jake Peavy had some struggles on the mound yesterday. He didn't look as confident or as well off. The Royals were able to pound him all day long for base hits, ending up in a disaster. The problem with that is that Peavy had to leave early and it was up to the pull pen to save the game. For me, whenever a pitcher leaves early and the game is running on bull pen pitchers, I'm thinking "oh crap!". It seems to never end well. Bull pens were meant to relieve games not pitch a WHOLE game!

The Royals just had things going for them last night. Arguable the ace of the San Francisco Giants had a rough start and they were able to capitalize on the mistake he made. On the other hand, the Royals had great pitching thanks to their starter Yordano Ventura who was unbelievable good against a very offensive Giants team. I love to see rookies shine on the biggest stage they will ever be on. The game wasn't a struggle until the sixth inning when the Royals scored five runes!

You heard me... five runs in one inning! That's not the craziest part. It amazed me that the Giants used five pitchers in that same inning. The bull pen couldn't get it done. I'm telling you that bull pens can't handle these situations in 99% of the time. Seeing Lincecum going to the mound was surprising for me because he hasn't been feeling well lately. Wanting the Royals to win, seeing Lincecum hurt was kind of a nice thing to see.

My predictions for game three is that the Royals will win in a very close match up. Both the Royals and the Giants have blown each other out of the water and now it's time to buckle down. Both teams have had their up and downs and I am very excited for this next game to see how it ends up. What do you guys all expect? I think good things will happen and it will be a very good game.

World Series Game 2 - What to Expect?

For all of the Royal fans out there I honestly feel bad about last nights game. I couldn't bear to watch the game anymore and tuned out in the 8th inning. I could't have been more wrong. It's one thing that I didn't want the Giants to win but it's another thing when a team gets blown away. I like close games not blowouts!

Well, I'm going to forget about the last game after this and hopefully see the Royals pick up a win tonight. First things first, Shields was definitely not on his game last night. Early in the game giving up that three run home run to Pence was devastating. I know it's hard to come back from a blow that big but COME ON! The Royals let it slip out of their hands and let it get away from them. This happens all the time in sports, but the next step the Royals need to take is to forget about everything that happened and start over.

There is a reason why the World Series is the best out of seven games. This is to see which team is really better? I know the people that may happen to be reading this blog happen to want the Giants to win the World Series and what I'm going to say to that is..... keep it going. Last night the Giants had it going for them all and I thought it was a good performance. However, I've seen it many times and wouldn't be surprised if the Giants get a little cocky and start to fall behind. It's happens all the time to many different teams.

My predictions for this game is that the Royals will win in a close battle. You all probably think I'm stupid and what I have to say to that is... MAYBE. I really think that the Royals showed potential in game one and that they can pick up the slack and win today. I know it will be tough and the Giants are arguable better. But when it comes down to it I want the Royals to win and I feel like they will win!

GO ROYALS!
