The Autumn Wind
Not a bad idea, but with how locked in Murph is right now, I wouldn't want to do anything to disrupt his routine. He's actually made some great defensive plays this postseason as well.

Who else would DH? Uribe isn't healthy yet so you can't DH Wright or him. And other than Johnson there aren't any bats on this team worth giving the spot.

I was figuring Conforto would DH, and Lagares, who's hit pretty well in the postseason, would play center. Though after reading about Cespedes still not being 100%, they probably want to save their outfield bullet just in case so they don't lose the DH spot.
Who are you?

Welcome to modern sports. With all these extravagant stadiums and deals, regular fans got priced out of championships a long time ago. It's a white collar affair, which is why it's always quiet.
Bo knows math.
I'm a concerned citizen who wants to see the Mets stopped.
I wouldn't do anything to take Murph out of his groove. This is probably me just being superstitious or whatever bullshit but I'd keep him at 2B.

Good luck Royals and Mets.
Don't know if Mets pitching can stop KC's relentless offense tho.

Awesome, that hits the spot!
On the day that Minnesota sports is mourning the death of Flip Saunders. Classic Hunter!
Good fucking riddance, Torii.

This seems so lopsided on paper, but the Royals got this far with that group so I have no idea what to think
Royals in 8 I think.
Que no loco.

I love how full playoff baseball games are just up on youtube.
The World Series and opening night of the NBA all happening at the same time...Fun stuff.
Maybe next year Sports Illustrated can predict someone else to win it all so the Indians don't play like shit in the first half of the season again. They always play well at the end when it's out of their hands and it's driving me crazy, but at least Lindor is the real deal.
Hoping the Mets can pull it off.

In the top of the first volquez gives up a quick double and then a scoring single, but then settles down and gets out of the half giving up one run.
in the bottom of the first Harvey looks amazing, and strikes out 2 while getting the last person to weakly pop out.
the top of the second volquez remains calmer and gives up a single hit but gets out without giving up anything.
bottom of the second, Harvey is still looking sharp but the batter works him into giving up a lead off walk. this is where the wheels fall off. having to change his motion with a runner on base he suddenly loses his control and starts leaving pitches up which get slapped around. before the inning is over the royals manage to plate 3 runs.
after two the score is 3-1 royals. tune in tomorrow night to find out how the rest of the game goes

Royals got the superior batting lineup and their bullpen is second to none. this coming from an angels fan.

So starting pitching just means nothing to you?

of course sp is important.
KC's sp are no pushovers. maybe not on the same level as mets sp, but KC offense can make any pitching staff, no matter how good, look completely average.

Fuck the Mets. Go Royals! Either way, I'll have a reason to celebrate.

So much hate for a team that was expected to go nowhere in the regular season,let alone the playoffs.
I hope Game 1 is a blowout. I want to make some Royals fans cry tonight.

Mets have been arguably the better offensive lineup since the deadline and their starting pitching is clearly better. Bullpen and defense are probably the two areas KC is better, though with Holland out its not as threatening as last year
Luckily, bullpen win championships.
Meanwhile, in Japan, Yu Darvish's brother was arrested for illegal sports betting.
Also Tetsuto Yamada of the Tokyo Swallows hit 3 HRs in his first 3 at bats in a Japan series game today. Dude is a monster.

Yup. He plans to take Davy Lopes and Rick Honeycutt with him. Both I believe don't have contracts. I kinda knew about Donny and Marlins working on a deal but this morning listening to AM 980 hearing he wants the other two? Take McGwire also

I was all Cubbies all year
Guess I'll go KC this year again
My only defense is that we haven't had a MLB team in like 50 years here so baseball is all academic to me

Keep McGwire away pls! I'm meh about Davy Lopes, but I could get behind bringing in Rick Honeycutt to replace Chuck Fernandez.
The Marlins are quietly making some solid offseason moves.
