Well, credit the Detroit Tigers for not laying down tonight. They came to fight and put up a good one. Max Scherzer pitcher really well, their bullpen pitched well, Miguel Cabrera flexed some MVP muscle but in the end, all of that was not enough to prevent the San Francisco Giants from celebrating their second world series title in three years. I will keep this recap short, I am guessing you saw the game and give you my thoughts.
This game was all about our best showing their stuff. Cain once again delivered a strong start with the chance to eliminate an opponent. He was not on top of his game but as we all know, he can compete even when he is a little off. He held the Tigers offense in check for seven solid innings and turned it over to a quality bullpen. Affeldt was impressive, striking out the three best hitters in their lineup, in the 8th and Casilla got it through the 9th. Romo came in and got the save.
The offense was handled by Pence, Belt, Posey and Scutaro. Aside from Belt, those are the guys we typically count on. Pence and Belt had back to back extra base hits to put the Giants on top first. Posey answered the Cabrera homer with his own two run shot. Then, in the 10th, small ball paid off again as the Giants got a leadoff hit, sac bunt and clutch 2 out rbi single from the clutch hitting Marco Scutaro.
This was the perfect example of the 2012 Giants tonight and an epic way to cap off what had been a World Series that lacked drama despite two of the first three games being very low scoring and close. This Giants team delivered every thing we asked for the past four months and I hope you all celebrate safely. We will have a parade at some time this week so get ready!
