Five games into the World Series, the offenses have shined for both sides. The Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers are having a classic series, with amazing comebacks and wonderful moments spread throughout pulse-pounding action. The pitching hasn’t been very good for either side, with pitchers consistently letting leads slip away. With no lead safe for either bullpen, it should make San Francisco Giants’ fans appreciate the “Core Four” a little bit more.
Santiago Casilla, Jeremy Affeldt, Javier Lopez, and Sergio Romo combined to form the Core Four, a group of relievers that always seemed to get the job done for the Giants.
