Pop quiz! Can you tell me where the wheels came off for the Giants tonight?
In all seriousness, I don't understand why Jake Peavy got the ball in this game. If you have so little trust that it had to be stressed so much that Peavy was on a very short leash, why run him out there at all? If you were going to yank him at the first sign of trouble, why bother with bringing the trouble on yourself in the first place? Just start Petit, and the whole game probably would have turned out differently. I have the same feeling about Tim Hudson tomorrow. If you don't trust him, why would you start him in game seven of the World Series? Just start Bumgarner and see how far he can bring you. They talk about maybe three innings out of him tomorrow. I'll bet he could give you at least six if you let him. He's got all summer to rest. But, clearly, Bruce Bochy isn't listening to me. Maybe he should start, though. I'm not so hard to get a hold of.
