Orange October (II) – Giants Win NLDS Game 2 In 18 Innings (2 to 1)!!

Well, yesterday – and last night – we had one of the most intense baseball games I’ve ever sat through in my life. The game started in the afternoon and ended over six hours later. It was the longest running (6 Hours and 23 Minutes) baseball game in playoff history and tied for the most innings played (18) in playoff history. | |
The Nationals scored early taking a 1 to 0 lead and holding it through eight and two-thirds innings. The Giants tied the game in the 9th inning and then played the equivalent of an entire second game (a “normal” game is only nine innings) to get the winning run off of a solo home run (from Brandon Belt) in the top of the 18th inning. The Giants then held on for the final three outs to leave Washington D.C with a 2 game to 0 lead in a best of five series. | |
As I mentioned in my prior post – Orange October (I) – the team that wins the first game in a five game series wins the series 70% (historically) of the time | |
Sixty-eight (68) teams in major league history have lost the first two games of a five-game series. Only eight have come back to win the next three games. And, of those eight, just two did so after losing the first two games at home. The issue(s) the Giants face are: 1) they are playing the winningest team in the National League this year (96 wins); 2) this same team has already come in to AT&T and defeated the Giants in three out of four games back in June; and 3) the Giants know a team can come back to win the last three in a best of five series because they were the last team to do it – just two years ago! | |
In any case, 3 out of 69 are pretty long odds and I like the Giants chances to finish the Nat’s in Game 3. Then it’s wait until the end of the 2nd series – between the St. Louis Cardinals and the L.A. Dodgers. Hopefully, the Cards take L.A the full five games before beating them and then we get to face the Cards with a rested team. Still, it’s all in the hands of the baseball gods at this point… | |
