His big presence on the mound
Leaves batters feeling unsound.
(At 0.39, his ERA
Is the lowest in post-season play.)
If Clint Eastwood was in the picture,
It might be “Ace Immune to Pressure.”
Reviving the Art of Baseball Doggerel
Bumgarner DOES seem cool, calm and collected and the hitters DO seem baffled. Oddly enough, I believe that the Cardinals outfielder, Oscar Taveras, who was just killed in the auto accident in the Dominican Republic, hit a homer against Bumgarner in the NLCS.
Peavy is on the hill for the Giants tonight: he is a good deal more vulnerable, so I’d say the Royals have a fair chance of pushing the Series into a Game 7.
Nevertheless: Go Giants!
