>> harold: i think an excellent point, tom. you get caught up game-by-game and you don't look at the whole picture of a series. a manager is always looking series and season. that is their perspective. >> joe: right now, these two managers are thinking about games three, four and five in san francisco, while we play game two. that's why josh willingham is in the on-deck circle, a guy the royals plan on using when this series goes to the national league city and there is more pinch-hitting involved. hosmer strikes out on a pitch down and away and that will end the seventh. good work by tim lincecum. we go to the eighth inning of game two. wade davis will take over with the royals up by five. ♪ john. john and horace dodge launched their first car in 1914. but they were not only business partners, they were brothers.

there are the numbers for wade who came with james shields in that deal with tampa bay when wil myers, tough outfield prospect went the other way. 96. 0-2. >> tom: put him in the bull pen last year and he said i want to pitch one inning at a time. ned yost thought i'll use him for multiple innings. he said, no, i want to go as hard as i can one inning and the velocity jumped from 96 to 97. >> joe: one ball, two strikes. >> harold: i really believe without the trade to tampa, with james shields and wade davis coming over for wil myers, they would not be here today. it doesn't happen. they had to get the pitching. hor oh, look out.

>> joe: a dangerous foul ball into the seats off the bat of sandoval. dayton moore, we talked about last night, the general manager, who was working with john schuerho schuerholz. john schuerholz is the guy who built that great '85 team. he is here. one of the best executives this game has ever know. now dayton moore who grew up in wichita, took over here as the gm midway through 2006 pulled off that trade and was ripped in a lot of circles. a strikeout starts the inning. but the young guys around here knew once that trade was made and james shields was coming to kansas city, things would be different for the royals. >> harold: shields made the difference. they knew what he was capable of doing. i think they got more than they bargained for as you see a nasty slider here, because he gave such leadership and direction to

their starting rotation and how to work and put a game plan together and things like that. >> joe: he was there for the turnaround in tampa bay. strike one on hunter pence. >> tom: that was a trade dayton moore really had to stay with. a lot of times the team will say no, and tampa bay was giving up a lot. he kept pounding away to make sure that deal was completed. it took weeks, even months, to finally get it done. >> joe: went around. strike two. pence 1 for 3 tonight. >> tom: the break on the cutter is so late. that's why you're seeing the check swing from sandoval, and now pence. >> joe: giants getting a good look at what they are up against in the late innings here tonight. with herrera, now davis, maybe, maybe not greg holland after davis just to give him an inning.

a hit by pence in the sixth inning that chased yordano ventura, the start for the royals. then has rare has toerrera took out of a two on, one out situation. that is a ball to the surprise of everybody. >> harold: this is filthy. watch him go away. then he comes back with this cutter and starts right at hunter pence. >> joe: 2-2. >> harold: i don't know which guy looks crazier. gee whiz! >> joe: here is the 2-2 pitch.

two outs. tonight's stats brought to you by better money habits, pow powerered by bank of america. royals seven runs scored tonight with a five-run sixth. they scored a total of five over the previous three games that dates back to game three of the alcs. >> tom: interesting watching wade davis here. he has thrown more breaking balls than he normally does. he is saying the next time if you see me, if it's a one-run game i will be different then than tonight in a five-run game. >> joe: that foul ball gives me a chance to salute our friend john lowe, who, today, announced his retirement from the "detroit free press." every time you walked into a ballpark where the tigers were

involved in the postseason, you could see john in his hat. i don't know of anybody, any or around the game, who loves the game more than john. strike two on belt. just a walking encyclopedia for the history of the game and a wonderful guy! >> tom: a great guy! i don't know anyone in the writing fraternity more respected than john lowe in everybody clubhouse he goes into, not just in detroit. >> joe: just a gentleman. >> harold: all you have to see is the hat and you knew who it was. >> joe: hard hit. hosm hosmer. davis. inning over. belt hits it hard again but hosmer showing what he can do. bottom of the eighth inning, game two, 7-2 kansas city. a ph.d. or an mba. n't ce everyone has questions about money. you know, i think about money kind of a lot. -money's freedom. -money's always on my mind. credit cards. -mortgage. -debt. it's complicated. it's not easy. i'm not a good budgeter. unfortunately, i'm a spender.

no-hitter this year and he had one last year in san diego and had one this year against the padres at home. now pitching out of the bull pen. showed good stuff in his first inning in the seventh. as the closer for the royals greg holland gets loose almost hit the pinch hitter josh willingham. >> tom: looks like a breaking ball just slipped out of his hand. i thought of his delivery with a formula one engine. beautiful timing and so many different parts. but it also requires a lot of maintenance. seeing him out here now for the first time in 24 days he has worked a lot to stay sharp in the bull pen. i think he is doing a very good job. the whole key for him, joe, when he takes the ball behind his

back. that's the key timing mechanism for him. >> joe: this is inside. ball three. he is absolutely loved by his manager bruce bochy. i don't think i've ever heard bruce call him anything but ten tenor. >> harold: timmy has put up good numbers for epif. >> joe: foul tipped.

>> tom: not on a consistent basis. >> joe: he was so good out of the bull pen in that 2012 run and then was just dominant as a starter in 2010. strikeout starts the inning. >> harold: the ferrari is out the garage now because he is working. >> tom: he told me he is going back and work with his dad. his dad work with him at a young age and taught him to throw the way he throws. you talk about a small body' getting the most out of it, because of his mechanics, pure and simple. >> joe: here is alex gordon. not in on the fun tonight. 0 for 3. the royals have banged out seven runs on ten hits. see who has done the damage. es cobar with a couple of hits and lorenzo cain with a double

and two runs scored. billy butler two runs hit. salvador perez with a two-run double and a run scored. moustakas, 1 for 3. up and away. 2-0 on gordon. >> harold: good team effort tonight from the royals. even how ned yost used his bench. >> joe: gordon was looking to launch on 2-0 and he popped it up. sandoval with room. two out. >> tom: here is what i'm talking about. watch the wrist behind his back pocket here. he has a word for this. he calls it dangle. when he can dangle the ball there and not forcing it up but it's more like a whip action is when it feels right to him. he didn't have that feeling late in the season. that's a good sign for him. that looked like it was a very loose wrist and a whipping action with the arm. >> joe: that skips in to perez.

remember, he was the one who was in that shouting match with hunter strickland in that five-run sixth. >> harold: that is the reaction from the fans. looked like a breaking ball that didn't quite get back. but after the thing is back and forth, your home crowd is going to react on your side. >> tom: he slips on the mound right now. no attention obviously. >> joe: with everything we said about lincecum what bruce bochy feels about tim, he has come out of the bull pen. we have seen velocity. we have seen a good tight breaking ball. got that off-speed pitch. and not to make too much out of two innings in a five-run game, but for a guy who had to fear the entire postseason, he may be back on the short list for bruce bochy with what he is doing here tonight. >> tom: i totally agree. he's an option right now.

he just pitched himself into an option at some point in a leverage situation. of course, as you said, joe, he's done it before in the postseason out of the bull pen. the manager has tremendous confidence, as does the pitching coach dave righetti. >> joe: defensive swings by these royals hitters. the count stays 1-2. think about where strickland, the rookie is, who had the good inning last night and comes in tonight and gives up a two double and two-run home run. maybe those two shift in the mind of bruce bochy. >> harold: i think we are in for a long series and we will see a lot of these scenarios unfold. right now, i really think they are getting the work in and getting looks on both sides. >> tom: the delivery and dangle behind him. i think timmy has an issue something with the mound or lower half of the body. last couple of pitches really

looking down at his leg. all of a sudden, now he is going to get some attention on the mound. >> joe: he asked for the head athletic trainer to come out and something happened on that last pitch on 1-2 to perez. >> harold: the way he was walking around the mound. i don't know if it was a dirt issue or landing issue but it just didn't seem right. he is coming out. >> tom: it looked like he slipped and gut through the next two and the next two even more awkward. >> joe: everything with we just said and the good work put up by lincecum, he leaves this game with an injury, which means that santiago casilla, who has been up and who is the closer for the giants, will get a little work here in game two. ♪ [driver] started my camry. ♪

this place ready to, they hope, celebrate the first royals home world series win. they won game seven in the series against st. louis in 1985. strikeout starts the inning. perez will find it but the out. one away. let's go back and look at the injury that sent tim lincecum out of this game in the eighth. that was on the first pitch of the at-bat to salvador perez and then the last pitch that he throws, cannot continue. called for the trainer and called for bruce bochy. despite pitching well, injured something, lower half of his body and went back to get looked

at. here is ishikawa, 1 for 3. guys, think about where we were in the sixth inning of a 2-2 game. yordano ventura, the starter for the royals was on the mound and left with two on and gave way to herrera who got out of the inning. ball one. then the fireworks and started the same way. two on against the starter jake peavy. he gives way to the bull pen. the combination of machi and strickland who could not get the outs. the result, five-run sixth inning in a 7-2 lead. >> harold: why the injury to lins ycecum looms so large. if you have machi and strickland struggle, you have to have

somebody plug that hole and that is tim lincecum. now you're looking at it hasn't been a good night for the giants if you go back and assess the game, and as we get ready to move forward. >> tom: duplicate scenarios in the sixth inning. the starting pitchers trying to get to the middle of the order a third time and neither could. royals bull pen picked up the starter. >> harold: if you haven't seen holland pitch throw a ball 90, 95, 96 and then a split and bounce it over the plate and frustrate you and he'll have a full count and he'll punch a guy out. cardiac saves all year. >> joe: ishikawa trying to figure him out. that misses. ball three. >> tom: what is so interesting about holland, his slider acts like a split. actually he hasn't thrown that many splits. hitters think it is. but a rare slider that has

downward action more than a side-to-side. >> joe: one out, nobody on. ishikawa strikes out. two down. >> harold: there it was. 3-2. and gets the strikeout. >> tom: my goodness. have we seen velocity tonight, guys? ventura, herrera, davis and now holland. 95 and above. >> joe: remember, the giants won game one of the nlcs behind bumgarner on the road in st. louis. lost game two in st. louis, went back home and won three straight. last night, the giants won behind bumgarner and on their way to a loss tonight. but off we go to san francisco. travel day tomorrow and games three, four, and five on friday, saturday, and sunday
