Pretty sure that how baseball has always been played.

Up and in doesn't have to mean "at". Up and in is fine, as long as it's not "at".

Wow @ the Royals. No lead is safe with them.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Unreal how a game can change in an instant.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

What a mental mistake by Cespedes to end the game. Wow

 

[Runnin]

Nobody beats Mets fans for disgusted facial expressions and body language.

 

[Hudson2]

Murphy's been so good and cost them the game on an error.

Wow @ the Royals. No lead is safe with them.

When you go to the plate looking to hit the ball instead of looking to keep the bat on your shoulder, good things happen.

The Mets did some very Met things tonight.

There's something inherently perfect about seeing them baffled.

Mets fans should be saying. Hey if I needed three games in a row then I am glad I have Harvey , degrom and Noah going.

2 walks against Clippard show that sometimes keeping your bat on your shoulder is exactly what you should do. Baseball is too subtle for gross generalities. We had a lot of discussion about how dominant starting pitching wins in the post-season. The Royals were not on anyone's list of teams with dominant starting pitching. But they have done all right so far.

It's actually a bit shocking that the Royals have made it this far with their pitching staff. Chris Young and Edinson Volquez are two players who were pretty close to being out of the league in recent years, Ventura has been extremely erratic in his 2nd year, and Cueto since coming to Kansas City had been pretty horrible.

The playoffs are always going to be all about luck, getting contributions from unexpected places, and having your core hitters do what they're supposed to.

Oh and by the way, I've never seen so many Mets fans walking around the streets of NYC. Yankees gear has and always will dominate. It's almost like Mets fan were too embarrassed to represent

Yeah it is weird. I do a double take everytime I see a mets cap.

Cueto, Volquez and Ventura have made at least one very strong start this off-season. Sometimes you get dominant pitching from non-elite starters. Estrada gave the Jays a couple very strong starts. Anything can happen in the playoffs.

The Royals pen have carried them this far.

The Royals pen have carried them this far.

It is a three-legged stool. The pen only comes into play if they are able to take a lead. So it is a combination of the pen, strong on base results from the offense and a surprising number of strong performances from the starters.
