So the Giants were "2012 World Series Champions" in 2010, 2012,and 2014. That is amazing.
But in all seriousness...is anyone else perplexed why the official scorer completely made up his own rule to award Bumgarner the win. When the starting pitcher leaves without the lead (before or after five) the pitcher of record when the team took the lead gets the win. The only exception is if the pitcher was ineffective and his appearance was brief. I hardly call Affeldt's 2+ innings of one hit ball brief or ineffective.
ummm Bumgardner has a save, not the win. The win went to Affeldt.
