From long ball to small ball - Giants up 2-0


Bumgarner was brilliant. Bullpen brilliant once again.
The Giants offense is what it is. We score on a DP and a SF a day after getting most of our offense from three HR's. Diversified, that's the ticket.
Win 2-0 and heading for Detroit up 2-0. That's synchronicity.

from Yahoo Sports:
With small ball, Giants win 2-0 for 2-0 WS lead - Yahoo! Sports:

"SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Long ball one night, a Giant dose of small ball the next.
Two wins in two games and suddenly San Francisco doesn't need to dig itself out of a postseason hole for a change.

Madison Bumgarner shut down the Detroit Tigers for seven innings, then the Giants took advantage of a bunt that stayed fair to eke out the go-ahead run in a 2-0 win Thursday night for a 2-0 edge in the World Series."

Bummer was beautiful.



Blanco's bunt was bedazzling.



Why block the plate when you can put your former infielder skills to work with the swipe tag, A.J.?
Don't you know enough not to play on the tracks when a freight train is coming through?








This is still the iconic moment of the series so far.
