Media gaffe on game seven
I was mystified this morning when an experienced AP writer said in the newspaper that Bumgarner was the winning pitcher in game seven, making him the only expansion-era pitcher other than Randy Johnson in 2001 to win 3 games in a World Series. I thought Affeldt should get the win, since he was pitcher of record when the Giants took their 3-2 lead.
Then I see that mlb.com correctly credits Affeldt with the win and Bumgarner with the save. I can't remember when a newspaper account had such a mistake on such a basic point.
