SAN FRANCISCO -- Sure, Jake Arrieta and Joe Maddon know all about what Madison Bumgarner has done on the postseason stage in recent years.
[b]Dries Mertens Jersey[/b] .Just how good the big lefty has been and his San Francisco Giants, too. Theyre 9-0 in elimination games under manager Bruce Bochy, rallying from improbable deficits to win it all three times this decade -- every other year, and this is one of those even years.San Franciscos October theme this time: BeliEVEN.As the Chicago Cubs arrived Sunday in the Bay Area with a 2-0 NL Division Series lead and a chance to close out the home team, Maddon knows theres plenty that still must go right Monday night for his club to move closer to ending its World Series curse.Wed be foolish to be overconfident about this situation, Maddon said. Theyre really good, theyve done this before. That is a group that is just dripping with tested veterans and a manager thats outstanding. So you never take the Giants for granted. Never.The Cubs were in for an unexpected treat Sunday: The Blue Angels regularly buzzed over the bay during Fleet Week as Chicago wrapped up its afternoon work, with a few players and coaches stealing a glance up at the blue sky.Maddon found himself reflecting to his youth when Bumgarners name was brought up before an on-field workout. The 2014 World Series MVP has thrown 23 straight scoreless innings in the postseason, going 2-0 with a save in elimination games.Its like when I was a kid. I could only relate it to that. I was a Cardinals fan growing up, and seeing Bob Gibson do what he did in the `60s and then Mr. (Sandy) Koufax, what he did. So you have to kind of draw the parallels or the comparisons from when you were a kid, Maddon said.So I look at it as, wow, its just like what Gibson did, its like what Koufax did. And maybe with Whitey Ford and the Yankees prior to that. Its unique. So I hope the kids that are really watching right now understand how good this guy is and how it parallels throughout baseball history, what hes doing right now, he said.Bumgarner dazzled with a four-hitter last Wednesday in New York as the Giants eliminated the reigning NL champion Mets in the wild-card game. He did the same thing at Pittsburgh two years ago to get that championship run rolling.Even with all of the accolades and comparisons, Bumgarner just goes about his business ignoring any fanfare.When told of Maddons remarks about Gibson, Ford and Koufax, Bumgarner insisted he never thinks about where he might rank in postseason lore.You cant, MadBum said. As soon as you start buying into that its probably going to take a turn.Arrieta already has said he has no fear about this matchup, giving his respect to Bumgarner while also noting hes beatable.Hes been one of the best in the postseason for the last several years. We have got a challenge ahead of us, but we put ourselves in a really good position, obviously taking care of business at home with the opportunity to close the series out in three games and get back to Chicago and prepare, Arrieta said. He is tough, but at the same time we have got a pretty potent offense that he has to try and neutralize.Trailing in a postseason series or being on the brink of going home for the offseason has hardly seemed to faze Bochys teams in recent history. In 2012, the Giants became the first team to win three straight road games in a best-of-five series after dropping the first two in the division series at home to the Reds. San Francisco then rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat St. Louis.This club has a history, and thats what you like about whats going on now, finding a way to win that game they have to win and moving on, Bochy said. Thats experience thats so vital to draw on. If you dont have that, you may not have that belief that you can do it. They know theyve done it.As brilliant as Bumgarner might be against the Cubs slugging lineup, the Giants must find a way to score runs -- or a run if thats all it takes in a likely pitchers duel -- to extend their season by at least one more day. Arrieta won 22 games and the NL Cy Young Award in 2015 and another 18 this season.Both pitchers are capable hitters, adding to the intrigue of Mondays matchup.I feel like well attack each other accordingly, Arrieta said, and not take it lightly.
