Harvey Shines in Mets Win

The Kansas City Royals and New York Mets get set to battle in the 111th World Series starting on Tuesday in a best-of-seven clash with intriguing match-ups between teams aching to end long title droughts. Both teams struggled against high-octane fastballs in 2015, so the Mets fed them a steady diet of heat, with more than 44% of their pitches clocking in at 94 miles per hour or above.

Second baseman Daniel Murphy can not be expected to continue his record-setting run of home runs in six consecutive games, or stay as productive (11 runs, 11 runs batted in).

According to the 30-year-old, the doctor told him that he has a swollen acromioclavicular joint (AC joint), which is only a minor injury. By contrast, Edinson Volquez and Johnny Cueto, who will start the first two games for the Royals, have 455 between them.

The Mets, meanwhile, are appearing in their fifth World Series, the most by an expansion franchise, but their first since their loss to cross-town rivals the New York Yankees in 2000. We really like Chris Young in Game 4. “I am not a believer, and I think you saw it with the forecast in Chicago in the game we played here on Friday night, if you get to 8:00 and it’s time for everybody to get ready to go at 8:00 and you don’t have rain, I think you have to play”.

MLB.tv also offers another way to view the game online with a plan that costs $9.99 for every World Series game, and it allows users who are able to authenticate a cable subscription with a log-in and password to watch the live broadcast online.

Kansas City came agonizingly close a year ago, pushing the Giants to a Game Seven at home before going down to defeat against valiant emergency reliever Madison Bumgarner with the tying run on third in the bottom of the ninth.

CBS New York reports TiqIQ listing $1,668 as the average price for Citi Field World Series tickets offered on its website. If the Mets are to win, they need to get a lead early. “I believe that tomorrow I’m going to be at 100 percent”, Cespedes said Monday. Kansas City opens the series at home and has homefield advantage in the 2-3-2 series format following the American League’s 6-3 win over the National League in the 2015 All-Star game. But Harvey wasn’t his best in his first start of the postseason, while deGrom totally dominated the Dodgers in the Mets’ playoff opener.

Medlen noted that last week against the Cubs, Murphy golfed a pitched that was barely a foot off the ground for a home run. Matt Harvey will take the ball in game one followed by Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, and Steven Matz.

“I do want to cut it”, deGrom said.

There’s no official word on what would happen if the game was outright postponed, but the hunch is they’d just push back Games 1 and 2 while keeping the New York games on as scheduled, meaning Games 1-5 would be played five straight days. He’s going to play.

“He has been really good”. It’s the World Series, but when you’re here, it’s a very rapid pace, but it’s fun. Ryan Madson has also had a good season, even if he looked a bit shaky in Game 6 of the ALCS. “We have guys who make contact, even against power pitching”. If the Mets win, Governor Nixon will send Governor Cuomo a commemorative jersey from the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, a bag of 20th anniversary platinum edition of blend coffee from the Roasterie in Kansas City, a few world-famous barbecue ribs from Gates BBQ and a Ford F-150 baseball hat. You’ve got to go out and see them. “It’s kind of like we have nearly our own little unit to support each other and push each other to be better”.
