The quick hook that led to a championship

In Game 7 of the 2014 World Series against the Kansas City Royals, Bochy yanks shaky starter Tim Hudson after only 28 pitches. He calls on Jeremy Affeldt, normally a late-inning set-up man, who gets the Giants through the fourth inning.

Even though his ace, Madison Bumgarner, had thrown 117 pitches while shutting out the Royals two days earlier, Bochy hands the ball to the Big Fella.
