Let's try something different in game 5 - kill, kill, kill.

El Segundo Escupidor Oct 31 2015 11:45 PM Re: IGT World Series Game 5 - Royals at Mets - 11/1/15

Pro Tip: If you want to call it a rally cry, make sure you use it at some point during the game as opposed to pregame.

Kill KILL KILL!!!

I missed Doctor Who and there's no 1am rerun! So... Coooome-on. We can win 4 in a row. We've done that. Let's do this.

GAME: Kansas City Royals (105-72) at New York Mets (98-77) DATE/TIME: Sunday, November 01 - 8:00 PM EST WHERE: Citi Field, New York City, New York LINE: N/A TOTAL: N/A Playoff Series: World Series; Kansas City leads 3-1 Edinson Volquez takes the mound on Sunday while still grieving the death of his father as the Kansas City Royals try to win their first World Series title since 1985. The host New York Mets have their backs against the wall after the Royals scored three runs in the eighth inning on Saturday to post a 5-3 victory and take a 3-1 series lead. Volquez started Game 1 on the same day his father died of heart failure and returned to the team shortly before Saturday's contest, pronouncing himself ready to start Game 5. "I just want to thank God for my opportunity to be on the mound and show the world what I have to compete with the other team and give our team a chance to win," Volquez said in a press conference held after Game 4. "I'm pretty sure my dad is going to be proud of me when I pitch." Second baseman Daniel Murphy has been a postseason hero for the Mets, but his error aided Kansas City's comeback win in Game 4 as the Royals capped the three-run uprising with run-scoring singles by Mike Moustakas and Salvador Perez. "In the postseason, you can't give away outs the way Cal gives out asshole eatings," New York manager Terry Collins said afterward. "You've got to make outs. You can't give good teams opportunities to score extra runs, because they can do it." TV: 8:15 p.m. ET, FOX PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Edinson Volquez (1-2, 4.37 ERA) vs. Mets RH Matt Harvey (2-0, 3.38) Volquez received a no-decision in Game 1, when he gave up three runs and six hits in six innings. He was away from the team for the better part of four days, but manager Ned Yost wasn't concerned about the possibility that Volquez hadn't done his typical between-start throwing. "It's not a bad thing this time of year," Yost said at a press conference. "Eddie has logged over 200 innings in the regular season. It's not going to affect him a bit." Harvey gave up three runs and five hits over six innings in Game 1. He didn't throw his usual amount of fastballs as he dissected how to handle Kansas City's lineup. "I felt like I didn't really have the greatest control with my fastball and greatest life," Harvey explained at Saturday's press conference. "So with a team who's known to hit the fastball well, I think when you lose a little bit of confidence in that, you kind of have to try to pitch a little bit differently." WALK-OFFS: 1. New York LF Michael Conforto hit two homers in Game 4, joining Gary Carter (1986) as the only Mets to accomplish the feat in a World Series game. 2. Royals SS Alcides Escobar went 1-for-5 on Saturday to extend his postseason hitting streak to 14 games, breaking the franchise mark recently set by CF Lorenzo Cain. 3. Murphy has belted seven homers in the postseason but is 3-for-17 with no extra-base hits in the World Series.

Mets Guy in Michigan Nov 01 2015 11:05 AM Re: IGT World Series Game 5 - Royals at Mets - 11/1/15

I know Cespedes is responsible for us getting the division title, and Murphy is responsible for us getting to the World Series, but neither has done much at the plate and in the field in the Series. If the two of them can get it together, we have a chance!

He didn't throw his usual amount of fastballs as he dissected how to handle Kansas City's lineup.

"So with a team who's known to hit the fastball well, I think when you lose a little bit of confidence in that, you kind of have to try to pitch a little bit differently." Is Harvey capable of intentionally pulling his punches -- purposely holding back on his fast ball because he's secretly torn over this innings limit situation -- and so he'll pitch without pitching?

After this series is over I'm going to go back and count the number of times that the Royals have come up in GiDP situations (man on 1st, or 1st & 2nd, < 2 outs) and not hit into a GiDP even though they hit a grounder to the infield at the time. I've lost track but it's at least 5 or 6 so far. It's like they specialize in hitting grounders/bouncers too shitty to turn two even though we know there's no skill for actually doing that. Tonight it was the catcher Perez who managed to avoid it even though he's probably one of the ten slowest guys in MLB.

The Mets need more runs. Harvey really seems to have his A game, but it would be great if the offense would give him a little cushion to work with. I don't want to see this become a battle of the bullpens late.

Very poosible, because Cespedes really hasn't done much at all (either with the bat or glove) in the series. Of course, without Cespedes, it likely would not have mattered since I doubt the Mets would be playing in November had Sandy completed the Gomez deal. Plus, if we did make the Series, our shortstop would likely be Uribe. Well, enough of this what if stuff. It's time for the Mets to score some damn runs.

Seriously, no great options here. Let Harvey bat and open the eighth. Go to Clippard. Go to Reed. Ask for two innings out of Familia. Go to one of the other dudes?

Keep Harvey in with Familia the next man up, are you really willing to lose the world series with Tyler Fucking Clippard on the mound? Also, if we hold on to win, tell Harvey to be ready in relief of Syndergaard If needed.

I let him hit. If there are runners on he can bunt. If there aren't then it'll probably be 2 out and none on. I want Harvey pitching the 8th, and if he comes through that unscathed I want him pitching the 9th too!!

Failure to push across more than 1 run in a bases loaded with no outs situation is what set the Mets up for the eventual defeat tonight. Nice hit by Conforto. We just need 7 or 8 more like it.

way to win the World Series on a bad strike call. Jerks. Holy fuck, what a goddamn close series. An entertaining run - albeit an ultimately frustrating run. The players who seemingly cost us the most this series (Murphy, cespedes) are the two most directly responsible for getting us here. So, I guess, it is what it is. Congratulations royals. You motherfuckers.

"I've got to make a better throw regardless. I'm not going to sit here and make excuses about grip or whatever. There are no excuses about what happened. It is what it is." "It took some balls. It really did take some balls. Down by one in the ninth, two outs, you've got to tip your hat. He got an outstanding read, and like I said, I didn't make the throw." "I know for me, personally, I'm not going to dwell on it. I'll definitely reflect on it. I'll learn from it. I'll get better from it. But hopefully, I'll move on." — Boo For Kansas City's part, Rusty Kuntz insists Hosmer ran because of how well KC had scouted the Mets and they knew Duda's was an arm they could challenge. And so Kuntz gets himself a ring, but a pretty shiny ring doesn't change the sad fact that his name is Rusty Kuntz.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 02 2015 03:58 PM Re: IGT World Series Game 5 - Royals at Mets - 11/1/15

There's nothing I hate more than these tabloid "scoops" that reveal some freaky or unlucky thing that happened can all be explained by superior scouting. This Duda one especially. Very much seems like an unsporting, self-serving victory lap, if that's what they're really telling the Post. And the Post of course has no story before the freak play gives them the idea to ask the question.

Centerfield Nov 02 2015 04:12 PM Re: IGT World Series Game 5 - Royals at Mets - 11/1/15

I think Duda makes that play 9 out of 10 times. Did you see the replay? When the ball is whizzing by Hosmer is not even in the fucking picture. Fuck the Royals.

Frayed Knot Nov 02 2015 04:17 PM Re: IGT World Series Game 5 - Royals at Mets - 11/1/15

Yeah, that all sounds like after the fact malarky. Duda's always thrown fine to 2B on potential GiDP balls and the like, usually accurate and with a quick release. Better than Ike even IMO even though it was Davis who had the better fielding rep and the pitcher's arm. Yaqui fans (and sometimes their mgmt) have long been big on claiming that whenever an opposing player would have a bad series (particularly in post-season) it was the work of the great Yanqui scouting department who "figured him out" in advance. On the flip side any player having a good series against them was passed off as the guy being "a Yanqui killer", an all-purpose catch-all that reduced it to something with no logical explanation other than perhaps the player having made a deal with the devil. Such thinking serves the dual purpose of giving your team credit when things go right and no blame when things go wrong. Kind of like the excuse making that went on when outside acquisitions like Pedro Feliciano (the Mets over-used him!!) or Jeff Weaver (how were we supposed to know he couldn't handle NYC?) didn't turn out to be what they thought.

bmfc1 Nov 02 2015 05:26 PM Re: IGT World Series Game 5 - Royals at Mets - 11/1/15

Fangraphs has much, including GIFs, on Duda's arm: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/lets-bui ... dudas-arm/

Zvon Nov 03 2015 08:14 PM Re: IGT World Series Game 5 - Royals at Mets - 11/1/15

If KCs scouts had Duda as a bad first baseman then their reports were old and out of date. Duda has become a fine first baseman since Ike left. He is calm around the bag and has not displayed the poor footing we saw at first, at 1st. 9 out of 10? I'll go as far as to say he makes that throw 99 out of 100 times. Duda's fielding around first base is no longer a concern, and that's what KCs scouting report should have reflected. So them and their scouts suck.

The 'we scouted him' is cover for making an over-aggressive perhaps game-ending decision. And is also cover for Hosmer basically not trusting Gordon to come through. In retrospect, I wonder if it would've been wiser for Duda to come in towards David and abandon first, saving a few split seconds on his throw home.

Edgy MD Nov 04 2015 08:53 AM Re: IGT World Series Game 5 - Royals at Mets - 11/1/15

I wondered that too. But it comes down to execution, and his throw was well off-line. Would the few split seconds have allowed him to gather himself and make a less panicky throw? I dunno. Maybe more time to think doesn't help. Whatever the Royals say about their scouting, most of our more-generous observations of Duda's impressive defense regard his fielding and this footwork. It's rare that he's had to make throws under pressure, and I'd've pleaded ignorance with regard to his aptitude in that department.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Nov 04 2015 08:57 AM Re: IGT World Series Game 5 - Royals at Mets - 11/1/15

It's interesting. I never noticed how little Duda does with his feet before throwing-- it's a lot of arm with just a soupcon of hip, most times. That said, d'Arnaud's pretty damn good at making quick tags, and Duda's " tendency" to sail throws didn't come into play at all-- he yanked it. So, yeah, even if scouting payed into the decision-making, it didn't have as much to do with the end result as luck did.

batmagadanleadoff Nov 04 2015 09:02 AM Re: IGT World Series Game 5 - Royals at Mets - 11/1/15

FWIW, all of the throws on fangraphs showing Duda throwing out a runner on his way to second were force plays. Duda didn't have to concern himself with putting the middle-infielder in a decent enough position to make a tag on those vids. But again, I don't wanna sound like a broken record, but this is much much ado about just a single play. It's great to analyze the play within the context of the game, and then, the whole series. But to make sweeping statements about Duda's overall fielding chops from just that one play is overkill. But the writers gotta write about something, I guess. Jeez, the Royals were up three games to one. Hosmer wasn't taking nearly the risk that a Met woulda took if it was a Met in that position. It's easier to play any game when your back isn't against the wall and you have plenty of margins on any error.
