Even Bumgarner in game two, taking an extra second, then throwing a strike to 2nd to start a DP as opposed to firing the ball into the bag like Lynn did. Blanco has had a great series too. Two diving catches in game one.. The magic bunt in game two.. The big triple and Sandy Amoros style catch in game 3.
Timmy is a more interesting story. He earns a start through stellar bullpen work.. Does what he did all year in his start.. Then is unhittable again out of the ben. It's funny because many teams that passed on him, did so becaue they only thought he thrive as a closer. He will begin next year in the rotation, but it makes you wonder if his longterm future may be as closer-- shades of young Eck.
