position at second base. so ground ball really took and made it a difficult play, a routine play become difficult. >> joe: here's morse. first and third. two out. that's strike one. if you're bruce bochy or ned yost, you want to get strickland some work, you also don't mind getting some of the other guys into the ball game because you've had the long layoff. game five of the nlcs was on thursday. a game tomorrow and then another off day, a travel day before friday, saturday, and sunday in san francisco. that is a strike and it's 0-2. juan perez would be next, but

it's morse who is 1 for 4 at the plate. these fans are still into it. >> harold: it's been 29 years. >> joe: will they enjoy a monumental comeback or will the giants take game one of the world series? bottom of the ninth inning rolls in. so will hunter strickland, leading by six. barbecue? yeah, we got you some. you guys know how you can tell if a place has got good barbecue? i got a system. pig on the sign: 1 point. pig wearing a hat: 2 points. pig in overalls, strumming a banjo? pull over immediately. so what about pigtails? well played. barbecue has a new home 'cuz wendy's has slow-cooked pulled pork, three tasty ways. in your choice of sauce. served up just how you like it. now that's better.

two-run shot. >> way to go, boys. >> joe: welcome to the show, boys, that's what he said coming back to the dugout and it is the show. the world series show in game one behind madison bumgarner, all giants. 7-1, into the bottom of the ninth inning. caps, hoodies and jerseys and jackets and more. get your mlb gear at the time mlb.com shop. heart of the order for hunter strikland. four home runs in four games, all to left-handed batters last time he pitched. >> harold: here is the guy they need to get through this world series. a big void if he does not participate. in a seven-game series, you have to have all men on board. >> tim:

>> tom: i'm with you, harold. he is making mistakes upper 90s fastball to the lefties. >> joe: first up, lorenzo cain. fastball to the lefties. >> joe: first up, lorenzo cain. how are you doing? 97. strike one. >> harold: pop in the glove. >> tom: the cross-fire action is a nightmare for a right-handed hitter. >> joe: strickland in aa, aaa and now in the big leagues. rookie right-hander is ready for the 0-1. no chance. strike two. >> tom: angles, angles, angles. gets it on the third base side of the ruben area crober and th working away from cain. >> joe: lorenzo has been hit by a pitch and drawn a walk and grounded out and trying to jump-start something here in the

ninth. a strikeout starts the inning. at 98. three pitches. good to see hunter strickland come right back after working on things, the home runs. he takes care of cain. >> harold: >> tom: talks about it a lot, the angle. the angle that he is throwing from from one side to the other, that presents a difficult at-bat for a right-hander and why trouble with the left-hander because that ball is coming into the left-handed hitters. i think this is a real telling at-bat for strickland. >> joe: strickland could launch himself right back into the late inning conversation if he has a good at-bat here with hosmer who is 0 for 3, but hit the ball hard back in the first. >> harold: i do believe all of these looks are good for the royals to get.

>> joe: on the outside corner. you can hear hosmer say "it's down." 1-1 count. >> tom: strickland to me is even more important because he gives the one almost this bull penitentiary didn't have and that is extreme velocity. plenty of stuff. strike throwers and mix and match and comes along with the upper 90s fastball and that is another weapon. >> joe: josh willingham on deck and trying to give him an at-bat tonight. here is one down the line in left, slicing foul. >> harold: that ball right there, that's why hosmer is so dangerous. he's got such power the opposite way. if you put him in any other ballpark for 162 games or 81 home dates, other than this ballpark, we are looking at a guy that is going to hit 30 home runs in a season. he's got that kind of power. >> joe: he smoked one back in the inning to gregor blanco, the

center fielder for the giants, who ran it down in right center. set up here at 1-2. 2-2. >> tom: he fascinates me as a hitter because every swing he takes in the game, two-hand follow through and doesn't turn over the top hand. every swing he takes in batting practice even if it's in the cage one hand comes off the bat. completely different. >> joe: went down to get it. panik is there and that is out number two. and strickland gets hosmer the lefty. >> harold: he came back with the off-speed pitch. remember the home runs he was giving up to the nationals? all power. here he gets a little bit of a break, enough to get hosmer out in front. and get the ground ball. so what did he work on in the bull pen? he worked on getting an off-speed pitch. >> joe: it will be willingham to pinch-hit for butler.

strickland gave up two home runs to bryce harper and one to asdrubal cabrera and one to matt adams in the nlcs. all left-handed swingers p.m. now with two out, here is willingham. strike one. >> harold: you see the reaction of the right-hander hitters. they can't track it. he steps like he is stepping almost at you and throws across his body. >> joe: willingham traded to kansas city in august for the twins. a breaking ball for strike two. >> tom: that is completely unfair. he just dropped in that slider to the right-handed hitters. >> joe: total dominance tonight

by san francisco in game one. the count stays 0-2. bruce bochy and his club about to be three wins away from the third world championship in san francisco giants history. that is just outside. ball one. >> harold: that is almost an unhittable pitch. man! >> tom: might as well take it. >> harold: i mean, steps at the right-hander and throws it to the other corner of the plate. filthy. >> joe: the hardest thrower in the giants bull pen comes set. the 1-2. high and tight. ball two.

bumgarner will go to 3-0 in three world series starts and 3-1 in five postseason starts this year. >> harold: and oh, by the way, another win on the road for him. >> joe: that ends the ninth. the giants take game one. a final of 7-1. and they do it with an exclamation point, pitching, defense, timely hitting and strikland wra strickland wraps it up for the man in your screen, madison bumgarner. three hours, 32-minute game. you see where the giants sit with that world series. winner of game one was won 10 of

the last 11 world series. and in the middle of it again for san francisco again. bumgarner now is 6-3 in his career in the postseason. shields now 3-5 in his career in the postseason. the giants just know how to do it in october. >> harold: yeah. the only opportunity the royals had was the third inning when they had second and third, no outs and bumgarner shut them down. that to me is the story of the game from the standpoint for bumgarner. >> tom: he keeps defining himself with an ace with every start. >> joe: down to the field and erin andrews. >> erin: joe, thanks. james shield got in a tight spot in the third. why were you able to jump in him in the inning? >> i think you have to give blanco a lot of credit. first at-bat. got up there and saw a lot of

pitches and got on base. 'in the second panik hit a flyball and buster a hit and pablo a double and runner in scoring position and 3-2 count and put the ball in play. >> erin: your pitcher not so bad. madison bumgarner got in problem in the third and made an adjustment. what is there left to say about this guy in the postseason? >> he's special. you know? he's got that flare for the spectacular. he gets out there and competes and, you know, we kind of booted one right there and he pitches his way out of it and what special pitches do. >> erin: you're the voice of this team. you told us the theme of the pregame speech would be kind of be there is nothing to fear. you just handed the royals their first loss in the postseason and you took this crowd out of it. what is the next message in that clubhouse? >> that wasn't the message and i wasn't the speaking. it was casilla.

>> erin: you said that was his piece? >> no, i said make your piece with the king of kings and my bad. i didn't mean to correct you there. >> erin: i love it. >> curt: casilla said to believe and that is the theme. believe, have vision and we are family and we treat this as family and get out there and compete. >> erin: what is the mexican message? >> keep on going. >> erin: thank you for correcting me. i love it. joe, back to you. >> joe: great start for hunter pence in this world series and great start for the giants. what another terrific start for madison bumgarner. kevin and the guys are standing by there with gabe and nick and the big hurt, big papi. coming up after the break, as we will dissect game one, it kind of begins and end with number 40. madison bumgarner. take a break and come back after this.

>> joe: we welcome you to the world series on fox postgame show. the aerial shot of kauffman stadium and started off jovial but didn't end that way. giants all game one. i have world series mvp david ortiz and hall of famer frank thomas and a couple of rings here. nick swisher and gabe kapler. look at this game. james shields in his four postseason starts, he has 7.11 e.r.a. he simply did not have it tonight. >> he came out today and i think he was a little bit over amped and sometimes that works in the opposite direction. you think it's going to make you throw harder but in actuality it makes the ball come out a little

bit slower and he just didn't have that late life on his fastball. you see right there. the ball down in the zone and sandoval doing a good job of getting that. 4 for 8 and two walks for pence. posey lined out twice. you have 3, 4, 5 hitters in this lineup dominating and pence doing his thing. really tough night for james shields in particular. >> when this was occurring when shields is off, clearly it gave as a hitter what did the giants do well to take advantage? >> took advantage of every opportunity they had. got guys on and got them in. games like this you have to take advantage of every opportunity in your game. the royals tonight three hits, four hits. one run. i mean, they just didn't have it tonight. that's it. >> the biggest thing they get out of the gate, the place is electric and 3-0 giants and, boom, the air is sucked out of the place. madison bumgarner is outstanding on the road. look at these numbers. best e.r.a. in postseason road games with a minimum 25 innings

pitched ever. look at the names on the board with him. gibson and rivera and koufax and lefty grove. that is what he has done. 33 1/3 innings road scoreless streak when he allowed a home run to salvador perez. over to the big boppers here, papi, tell me what do the royals, their approach didn't seem like you liked their approach to gbumgarner. >> they were chasing pitches out of the strike zone and eight playoff game they have played they walked away from chasing pitches and why they were doing so goop goo. i think they need to go back to the quality at-bat and take away from chasing pitches out of the strike zone. >> you shouldn't be surprised. this man is having a historical run in the postseason. madison bumgarner he is san francisco's leader and pitched tonight the way we thought he would. >> it was ugly but i think a lot

of people thought the giants had the advantage tonight and they did. bumgarner was amazing. more postgame coverage from tonight's game and exclusively interview with madison bumgarner. please turn your dial to fox sports 1. coming up on fox, your late local news. ♪ captions paid for by the fox broadcasting company -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com ♪

. the san francisco giants take game one. thanks for joining us, i am jewelry and the giants beat up the royals and it is their first loss this postseason. the big reason was an incredible pitching performance

by madison madison bumgarner, you can hear him grunting, kind of like he was rearing back giving it everything he had. roberts is in the studio and earlier i asked him what he thought about madison bumgarner and he said determined. he said madison bumgarner was determined to find his way and figure it out and you saw the result, a huge win by the giants. [applauds] >> and giants fans across the bay area elated by this game one victory on the road in kansas city and joe joins us with a look at the tonight's big win. >> they wanted to get out there with that split. they waited 29 years for this moment in kansas city and 8 and 0 they had the hottest team in the postseason and giants took all the air out of the party.

nothing is more satisfying than to take the home game right out of the start and that's what he did, he came to score and pablo sandoval pitched into the front corner. a nice play by the royals to cut down buster posey at the plate and he is out number 2. he came and drove one over the wall in center field, just like that it was 3-0 giants and they were searching again to get -- for something to get enthusiastic about. they had a runner on and two outs. madison bumgarner pitched and he runs the ball down to deep center and they go to the second up 3-0 and at first it is a double for him, nobody out, a base hit and that's when

madison bumgarner cranked it out. he refused to give in to escobar. stricting him out with a high fastball. then nouri could not hold out on a strike out, he got the out this second by another runner, he still had not allowed another single run and the giants had applied a lillypadding in the 4 4th after he led off with a double. he came on with michael moors, he chased shields from the game. then if there was any doubt, he got passed him as the ball rolls, he goes to third with an rbi triple. >> that was all for the relief, tim collins, he gets it 7-0 and

they would get another run would the royals have the run and that's the first run madison bumgarner would allow and he does allow another run and giants get the score 7-1 taking game one in the world series and as i said they have the luxury of trying for a sweep in their two games in kansas city and as i said, i like the way as we go live to mark at coughman stadium, mark? >> reporter: i hope you can bear with me a little bit. they have the music up really loud so i can't hear you guys yet and kudos for the royals fans for hanging in here, they can't believe the party is over and they are it can loud but

here is kind of a nice one to chew and they won the first game of the series. giants obviously have a very nice start with a convincing victory here and even though the score was lopsided, i want to talk about a key point that turned it around. the royals were down 3-0 and madison madison bumgarnerp with a man on, mike had a shot and nobody was out. madison -- madison bumgarner struck out the lead off man, omar infante followed that up with another strike out of nouri and then runners at second and third he walked another man and
