Lets get to it, because there is a lot to tell

Game 1 (Carrasco vs Wacha): The EGR offense starts the series off in fine fashion, with the big blow in a 5-run 1^st inning being a Seager grand slam.  SFO leaves the bases loaded without scoring in the bottom of the inning, but makes up 2 of the runs on a Sogard HR in the 2^nd and 2 more in the 4^th with 4 singles and a force out.  A Fowler HR in the 6^th and back to back doubles in the 7^th extend the EGR lead to 9-4.  SFO loads the bases again in the 8^th with 1 out, as Betances gives way to Hand, who induces a fly out that fails to score a run.  Blackmon then walks to plate a run, but Hand gets a grounder to end the threat and pitches around a 1-out single in the 9^th to put it to rest.  EGR 9, SFO 5

Game 2 (Santana vs Paxton):  More failed chances as EGR loads the bases in the 1^st but fails to score, and SFO hits into a DP with runner at 1^st and 2^nd and no outs in the 2^nd.  The big inning comes in the 3^rd, as EGR loads the bases with one out on 2 singles and a HBP. Santana and Beckham double in 2 runs each, and after a Fowler ground out, Seager hits another shot, adding 2 more runs.  EGR tacks on 3 more in the 5^th, with Crawford doubling in 2 of them.  Ervin Santana does the classic scattering of baserunners, allowing 8 hits and 4 walks in a complete game, but never in a productive sequence.  Blackmon and Lagares hit homers in the 6^th and 8^th but leading off, and that is all the scoring for SFO.  EGR 9, SFO 2

Game 3 (Bundy vs Happ):  Rizzo and Crawford solo shots in the 2^nd and 3^rd have us tied at 1 going into the 6^th, when SFO retakes the lead on a walk, groundout, Story single combo. They add another small-ball run in the 8^th on a walk-SB-Story single combo.  Walks from 3 different SFO pitchers sandwiched around a fly out load the bases in the bottom of the 8^th.  Knebel strikes out Seager but a wild pitch plates 1 run before he induces a Nava ground out with the lead runner on 2^nd.  EGR goes down 1-2-3 in the 9^th.  SFO 3, EGR 2

Game 4 (Leake vs Carrasco): A theme continues to develop as SFO loads the bases in the top of the 1^st but fails to score.  Leake pitches reasonably well through 6 (8 hits, no walks), but pulls an anti-Santana, as a Seager leadoff HR, 4 straight singles, and a Springer double give EGR a 4-0 lead in the 2^nd.  Carrasco retires 12 straight after the rough 1^st inning, and almost escapes runners on 1^st and 2^nd with no out in the 6^th, but SFO breaks through on a 2-out Pham double to make it 4-2.  Brad Hand gives up a 1-out walk and double in the 7^th before yielding to Betances, who promptly walks Tomlinson to load the bases.  Stop me if you have heard this before, but Ellsbury grounds into an inning-ending DP to end the threat.  This is especially crucial as Leake and Claudio end up holding the EGR offense to 2 baserunners from the 3^rd through the 8^th innings.  Betances  gives up a 1-out single in the 8^th, but Neshek comes in to get 5 straight outs.  EGR 4, SFO 2

Game 5 (Wacha vs Santana): Santana isnt terrible but falls victim to sequencing himself but a walk-triple-WP- Nunez HR sequence gives SFO a 3-0 lead in the 3^rd.  EGR scores 1 in the 4^th on 3 straight singles and another in the 6^th (walk-WP-single) to pull within 1, but with 1 out and 2 on in the 7^th, Ellsbury atones for failing to come through in game 4 by greeting new reliever Dellin Betances with a 3-run jack.  EGR tries to stay in the game by answering with a double-triple-groundout RBI stretch in the bottom of the inning to get back to 6-4.  The EGR bullpen implosion continues in the 8^th, however, with Betances and Hand giving up 2 more, and Hand yielding a Rizzo SF in the 9^th after a Blackmon triple.  A meaningless Santana Hr in the bottom of the 9^th completes the scoring.  SFO 9, EGR 5

Game 6 (Faria vs Paxton):   EGR jumps out to an early lead as Albies walks, goes to 2^nd on a grounder, and scores on a Sano double.  SFO gets it right back and more in the bottom of the inning thanks to a 2-run Blackmon shot, but EGR ties it in the 2^nd thanks to walk-WP-single-SF sequence.  Things really settle down through the 6^th, as SFO gets a runner on in the 2^nd, 4^th, and 5^th, only to have them erased on double plays.  The SFO breakthrough finally comes in the 7^th, as Blackmon reaches on a Lyons error. With one out, Pham doubles him to 3^rd off Bowman, and Parra scores them both on another double.  Neshek gets us out of the inning, and pitches a perfect 8^th to keep hope alive. EGR sandwiches singles around 2 Ks in the 9^th, but Knebel gets Albies to strike out as well.  SFO 4, EGR 2

So, can SFO complete another great comeback?  Game 7 certainly had some events

Game 7 (Carrasco vs Bundy):   Springer doubles in the 1^st, goes to 3^rd on an almost but not quite split HR roll by Fowler, and scores on a Santana groundout.  Similar to game 6, SFO regains the lead quickly (here in the 2^nd) on a single-walk -Powell single, and a 2-out Sogard single, but EGR ties it up thanks to an actual  Fowler HR in the 3^rd.  SFO loads the bases in the bottom of the 3^rd with one out as Blackmon singles and Rizzo and Pham walk, but Powell lines into the classic 4-5 DP.  Whew.

SFO does manage to take the lead in the 5^th, as Ellsbury singles with one out, steals 2^nd, and goes to 3^rd on a Blackmon groundout off Lyons, but Rizzo delivers a huge 2 out RBI single.  EGR gets a Seager leadoff double in the 6^th, but Nicasio gets Suzuki to pop up and Herrera to K before yielding to Alex Claudio.  PH Tim Beckham greets him with a single but Seager is thrown out at the plate on a 70% safe chance.  Still 3-2 in the bottom of the 7^th, when SFO has a chance to get some breathing room as Nunez singles, steals 2^nd and Blackmon walks after an Ellsbury K. Betances gets Rizzo to ground into a rally-killing DP. Double whew.

On to the top of the 8^th.  Sano singles off of Minor, but is forced out by Seager.  Knebel comes in to face (and plunk) Suzuki and follows that with a walk to Nava to load the bases.  Beckham grounds into a 3-2 force-out to set up Albies vs Knebel with 2 outs.  Albies walks to score the tying run (!) and sets up Springer against Knebel.  Springer walks to score the lead run (!!), before Knebel finally gets Ianetta to strike out.  Can the EGR pen hold the lead?

Bottom of the 8^th.  With one out, PH Nick Williams laces a triple off Hand.  Elias Diaz comes in as another PH, and he lines into a 5-3 DP.  Triple whew.  EGR gets 1 and 2 out singles in the top of the 9^th, but Nava cant deliver the badly needed insurance hit.  Can the EGR pen continue to hold the lead.

Bottom of the 9^th.  Bowman relieves Hand thanks to his nice low HR numbers, so he promptly yields a homer to lead-off hitter Trevor Story (!!!) before retiring the side in order.  On to extra innings.

EGR goes 1-2-3 in the 10^th, and SFO gets a one-out hit in the bottom to tire Bowman, but Neris comes in to get 2 fly outs.  Ianetta cranks a leadoff homer off his card (as JC Ramirez has none on his) in the top of the 11^th, and after a Santana single and 2 outs, Kurt Suzuki  (down to 2 plate appearances for the series) hits one of his own.  Neris headhunts Story in the bottom of the 11^th, but that is the only runner he allows.  EGR 7, SFO 4 (11)

So, I get to face another Travis team, and Rick has a great comeback very narrowly spoiled thanks to a few enormously important double plays and a Knebel meltdown.  Im sure it must be annoying as hell not to get to play in the WS, but congrats to Rick on getting 2 different teams this far.  Its a crapshoot enough getting one to this point.
