The Giants dropped hints that he's available tonight. I doubt that. Game 7? Yes.
I think it's just gamesmanship to get in KC's head. "Oh shit, here comes left-handed Jesus again." Who knows? |

No shock, but Guthrie starts Game 7, if necessary.
Our best pitcher right now. Who saw that coming? |

He's not pitching on barely two days' rest after going 9 innings for 120 pitches. I know the guy's young, but it ain't happening.
Tomorrow? Maybe. |

Starting pitchers in relief roles don't generally scare me. You get them out of their normal element, and they aren't the same pitcher. That's not across the board 100% true, but it happens quite a bit. Facing MadBum in a relief role on on 2 days rest? Yes please.

The day of the next game you pitch does not count as a day of rest. So, 1 day today, 2 days tomorrow.

Yeah. Just glad, as a Royals fan, he's limited to a few innings out of the pen rather than another start.

Don't get me wrong, I love Ventura. But Guthrie's been nails.

Not every stat. Guthrie didn't K anyone last time out, which suggests a bit of bad BABIP luck for the Giants that game (luck which turned way way way good for the Giants in the next two games). Not that I'm really talking about luck here. I'm talking about the Giants' approach at the plate being consistent this series: making as much contact as possible; short swings; not even trying for extra base hits on 2 strikes. That same approach that got to Vargas and slaughtered Finnegan & and ate up a not-warmed-up Wade Davis was used against Guthrie, only balls found their way into gloves.
Which is to say, I have faith that Guthrie will command the ball and will pitch with grit. But that's not as likely to be effective as stuff that makes hitters miss. |

I can understand that, he has been really great for us.
