Although the Royals weren’t loaded with pitching, they just won with just good enough pitching, timely hitting and great defense. Royals won that series because they had a lineup of hitters who ALL put the bat on the ball. Very few strikeouts. AND they played excellent defense. Very similar to last year's Red Sox. Mets defense (specifically Daniel Murphy at 2B) cost them early in the series. KC was simply the better team. The Yankees/Astros game last night showed us how important those two things are, because they Yankees struck out a lot with RISP and their defense was atrocious. As happens most times in the LDS and LCS, the better teams are winning. Better pitching, better (more disciplined) hitting and better management will win a 7-game series 9.999 times out of 10.

Having said that, had a bunch of folks call/text say lets go to a game. Walk in for SRO right now is $760 on Stubhub!!!!! There better be a Pink Floyd concert, with Gilmour and Waters, after the game for that kind of money. And free beer! Edited October 18, 2019 by Gugny

Having defensive liabilities at 3 infield positions will catch up to you eventually. 2

KD in CA Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 I don't get throwing your best pitchers out there on 3-days rest when it's not necessary.
