NLDS GAME 5 - October 11, 2012

[@Red_5478]

Hardest day as a reds fan RIP 2012 Reds

[@patrickgray5633]

I'm still not over it. Go Reds

[@jasonrichards9431]

A better manager would have pulled Latos before the game got out of hand, and would have done the same thing the previous day, Game 4. Dusty Baker made the same mistake with the Cubs in the '03 NLCS Games 6 & 7, leaving starters in the game much too long.

[@larriors9124]

Go reds

[@patrickgray5633]

@@jasonrichards9431 see Baker can never sense trouble he always always when managing our Reds when the starters were near the end leave them in with bases loaded or he'd wait til the bases were loaded & not give the reliever room for error outside of Rivera there has been no automatic in this era relievers always go 2-2 or full count on hitters 2 are on or bases loaded todays relievers need wiggle room very few of them can make it hold Chapman did as a Red then he gets gassed by the Yankees & then especially the Cubs now he's back in New York & struggles always against Boston, Houston probably tainted if Altuve didn't know the pitch from technology not sure what happens.

[@PunkRocker1463]

When all the Reds fans stand up, and Buster simply swings his bat to make them all sit down....priceless....

[@TheNightrain99]

One of my favourite ever MLB moments. Watching this live I went nuts.

[@michaelbornnard28]

Giants faced so much adversity in the 2012 postseason. Once they had beaten the Cardinals in game 5 of the NLCS they couldn't be stopped.

[@patrickgray5633]

As a Reds fan I agree if you don't believe in momentum this is a great example.

[@disneydanny2]

do you think tha fact that we were ahead 9-0 in NLCS Game 7 had *ANYTHING* to do with why the umpires let the game play itself out in the rain?

[@jamilp2869]

1:32:56 How do you pull the hearts out of thousands of people and become a first ballot Hall of Famer in a split second... I still can't believe this even happened... Love this game. Love this team.

[@Kari2025]

1:33:04 Posey shut those fans up real quick.

[@supremes1964]

Lol

[@wildforthecats661]

Kari2025 Dead silence.

[@travissloan5296]

up 2-0... coming home. This broke my heart

[@Specterling]

They needed to win Game 3. The Reds blew so many chances in that game, and then Scott Rolen's error with two outs in the 10th. That win revitalized the Giants.

[@patrickgray1438]

The Reds & Rangers are my 2 baseball teams. I'm still not over that series. Had them dead Bailey threw the game of his life Game 3 & Reds blew it after that, Game 3 was the killer Game 4 no chance with Leake, Game 5 Giants had all the momentum did I mention Dusty Baker sucks. Lol

[@jamesgoss1860]

With Dusty Baker as manager, no series lead is ever safe. 2002 Giants, 2003 Cubs, 2012 Reds, 2016-2017 Nationals, some of the more famous playoff meltdowns in history.

[@nathanprentiss7578]

I feel somewhat bad for reds fans, but man we had a lot of anger from 2002 built up. Thanks for not letting us down dusty you ended up getting us that ring

[@wandcamilo3989]

Go Giants! Its a 5 game series

[@krohn7master]

That Jay Bruce at bat in the 9th was the most stressful playoff moment for me during the Giants' run from 2010-2014..even watching it again today knowing what happens I can't help but feel he's completely locked in and looking to walk-off

[@annarose5469]

So proud of this team. Always had their backs against the wall. They proved everyone wrong and did something no one thought they could ever do. Came back from 2-0 deficit. Love this team.

[@frankfurlacker5219]

Posey is a stud. Coming from a Royals fan.

[@shermanngjazz]

Giants fan here and Salvy is excellent as well. At least you have the 2015 title

[@MaNiMaBaLLa]

This still haunts me man...still a dagger through the heart. Fuck.

[@scottedwards2962]

The funny thing about this game and the Series is since the Famous Steve Bartman PLay in Chicago when Dusty was the Manager. Dusty Baker has lost a total of 7 straight home playoff games as a Manager. LETS GO GIANTS

[@jasonrichards9431]

If the 7th hitter starts the 5th inning of a do or die game with a sharp single to left, a manager who wants his team to die will do EXACTLY what Dusty Baker did: Wait until two runs have scored and the tired, discouraged pitcher has walked the 2nd hitter on four pitches, bringing Pablo Sandoval to the plate with Buster Posey on deck, THEN call the bullpen and tell a reliever to start throwing. That way, Posey has time to launch his satellite, jog around bases and get out of the way, right before the reliever comes in and completes his warmup tosses without interruption. Just like clockwork.

[@scottedwards2962]

Jason thats why we the Giants won 3 World Series under Bruce Bochy. He wouldnt make bad decisions like that. In fact I think after the Reds lost this series to the GIANTS Dusty Baker got fired the year after

[@jasonrichards9431]

Scott Edwards With '03 Cubs, Dusty mismanaged pitching same way, leaving Mark Prior & Kerry Wood in 6 & 7 too long, not using Matt Clement on side session day the way Bochy last year with Baumgartner. Really a shame the world blames Steve Bartman for all that. Looking forward to August when Cubs-Giants play 7 games. 2 best mgrs in baseball, IMO

[@futrz5376]

I got to miss school and go to this game.

[@ftw4twcs]

How poetic that GS came off of Latos? Can't think of another person who deserves it more. Maybe Scott Cousins.

[@scottedwards2962]

Isnt Scott Cousins a catcher?

[@scottedwards2962]

I thought Cousins is a catcher

[@jamesbentonticer4706]

Scott Edwards Yes, but he deserves to be F'd in the A more than anyone else in baseball.

[@mja49ers1]

really? it wasn't intentional in terms of injuring somebody. I am a giants fan and I'm saying this.

[@BMLOOH193]

mja49ers1 Scott Cousins is a outfielder.

[@pixiegrrl69]

I didn't get to see this game b/c I was at my sister's house and they don't have cable or the dish so I blasted all the radios on KNBR as I helped her clean her home. so this is pretty cool to be able to watch it here. GIANTS 4EVER!!

[@jj-qm8iv]

I miss playoff baseball

[@annarose5469]

Then came back from a 3-1 deficit and won the world series. Everyone counted them out. They did something no-one thought they could.

[@mattgray6246]

SF announcer Mike Krukow admitted the next day that the stress over that Jay Bruce at bat made him barf. Thank you Sergio Romo for getting it done. You are a legend. What a fantastic career.

[@patrickgray5633]

I won't get over that until the Reds win another World Series.

[@blaeddittman6580]

I'll get over it once the reds can actually win a playoff series lol

[@glst1974]

So proud of the come back by the Giants

[@patrickgray1438]

The last time we heard Coldplay at Great American Ball Park at 3:58:00 around there cause Scott Rolen retired.

[@pgraybengal]

This series still bothers me as a lifelong Reds fan had them down 2-0 I thought after game 3 we are in trouble Homer Bailey pitched the game of his career 1 run 9 innings & we failed to close felt bad for Scott Rolen one of my favorite Reds u never like making the last out in a series especially when your the winning run!!!!

[@rtsuh]

Posey HR was the highlight but .. there were so many clutch defensive plays made by the Giants. Wow!

[@Gmannn04]

1:32:48 Reds fans: WOOOOO! 1:33:04 Reds fans: 😮 LOL

[@hectorrenteria631]

Your manager was a moron. Your pitching coach was a moron. Your starting pitcher was a (young, hotheaded, unstable) moron. Did you, hypothetical Reds fan (is there any other kind?) really think you were going to beat the Giants? The Giants are the greatest franchise in National League history. The Reds are...the first.

[@MickeyMorandini1]

Romo vs Bruce. Romo just outlasts him. that was guts, The Giants won on guts. I am a Reds fan.

[@patrickgray5633]

Yes Reds fan as well the Giants showed what a great team they were. Bochy put on a managing clinic I've met Romo once as well terrific guy but as a Reds fan this was devastating.

[@xx885432]

This was Red Sox 1978 heart break tying runs on unfortunate that Bruce & Rolen couldn’t get it done was the last AB of Rolens’ fine career.

[@patrickgray5633]

If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle we should be have won that series anyway up 2-0 going home 3 straight you gotta win it. Game 3 was the game Bailey threw the game of his life & got no offensive help. We lose 2-1 in 10 it was all down hill from there.

+Richie Soga "In division play" is the key. Division play began in 1995

[@Richie46071]

I know, I was just making a point that MLB rarely acknowledges the 1981 AL or NLDS's. It's true about the Dodgers against the Astros. Plus the Division series started in 1994. Again another thing MLB doesn't acknowledge. Yes the strike did happen but 1994 was the first year.

[@jamesgoss1860]

Richie Soga 1994.... a year best left forgotten. The Expos got hosed.

[@julianzepeda9664]

First off, I'm a lifetime Giants fan. But, I think the home plate umpire in this game was inconsistent and played too big a part in the outcome.

[@DaxtersDaddy3686]

As a fie hard Refs fan, i told EVERYONE i knew and anyone that would listen that after we won game 2, we were without question going to lose this series. I had no foubt my team would choke, only needing to win 1 of 3 games at home. The reason I knew, is because at the end of the day, THEY'RE STILL AN OHIO TEAM, and Ohio teams will always choke unfortunately. We will never EVER see an Ohio sports team win any kind of championship EVER AGAIN, EVER. Ever. It will never happen. Buckeyes, Reds, Browns, Bengals, Guardians, Cavs, Blue Jackets. None of ANY OF THOSE TEAMS will ever be a champion in their respective league.
