New York Mets’ Daniel Murphy Putting on a Power Showcase

Matt Harvey has been picked to pitch for the New York Mets in the World Series opener at Kansas City on Tuesday night.

Manager Terry Collins #10 of the New York Mets celebrates on field after defeating the Chicago Cubs in game four of the 2015 MLB National League Championship Series at Wrigley Field on October 21, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois.

When the series shifts back home to Citi Field, the Mets will turn to Syndergaard and Matz in that order – making them the first team since the 1997 Marlins (Livan Hernandez and Tony Saunders) to start two rookie pitchers in the World Series, according to STATS.

Just like we all thought, it’s the New York Mets against the Kansas City Royals for the 2015 World Series [insert shifty eyes].

While most figured the long-suffering Royals 2014 run to the World Series was a one-hit wonder, the Mets weren’t even in the discussion of teams considered good enough to have a fluke run to the series. “They see him doing it, going at it hard, it just helps everybody to get into it”, said Goodwin, who stole 369 bases in his playing career, with four seasons of at least 50 steals. “Too long.” Collins and his players return to the field to celebrate with thousands of Mets fans who made the trip, slapping high-fives and spraying them with champagne in a scene that would be replicated following playoff triumphs in Los Angeles and Chicago. “I do disagree with the fact that Billy is a homosexual”.

The Royals starting pitching has been their biggest weakness all season and it really hasn’t improved in the postseason. If they carry that form into the World Series, the Mets can win it all.

Of course, many would view this kind of deal as an overpay and an overreaction to recent events, and they’d likely be right. “It’ll be fun. We’ll be prepared”. “Then you throw in that it’s (Clayton) Kershaw, (Zack) Greinke twice each, (Jon) Lester, (Jake) Arrieta, I mean that’s impressive”, said Wright.

The slugging outfielder received a cortisone injection in his sore left shoulder Thursday after leaving the NLCS finale Wednesday night.

I originally put my money on the Toronto Blue Jays, mainly due to the addition of Troy Tulowitzki (Tulo), in the trade with the Rockies.

“It just seems like they’re a competitive, fiery bunch, I think”.

And when he’s got a question about any pitcher on the Royals’ staff, “I know he’s going to have all the answers”, Murphy said of Long.

While the Mets’ strength comes from their starting pitching, Kansas City counters with a almost impenetrable bullpen.

Uribe had one final chance to prove he ought to be included when he participated in Monday’s workout at Kauffman Stadium.

If nothing else, it will give the American League champion Royals something else to worry about in the World Series.

Uribe missed the NL playoffs and has been sidelined since late September with a chest cartilage injury.

“Obviously, he looks great in batting practice”.

For Price and Harvey, ego and a sense of responsibility to the team compelled them to ignore fatigue – and, in Harvey’s case, potential reinjury – and prepare to pitch two, perhaps three times, if necessary. “Which in our minds I think is a positive”.
