Can they do it? In Detroit for GAME 4. Giants pitching has been the major factor, holding the Tigers to only 3 runs late in Game 1. So tonight, with their backs to the wall, the Tigers face elimination. Only a win will prolong the series. No team has ever come back from being down 0-3.
The Giants have displayed remarkable resilience, after a mediocre season in a weak division, the Giants have peaked at the right time. Bruce Bochy, Giants manager, has displayed a talent for mixing pitching assignments as choices ebb and flow with the progress of each game. His biggest and most successful move has been with the assignment of Tim Lincecum to the role of middle relief, where he has performed brilliantly, holding the Tigers to one hit and 0 runs over 7 2/3 innings. The Detroit lineup has simply been baffled at the amazing array of pitches they have been dealt.
So, tonight could be the final night, but as often happens, the baseball gods take sadistic pleasure in extending the inevitable.
Watch and enjoy, as the Motor City watches the temperatures drop close to freezing.
