Volquez to start Game 1

Instead, the feed switched to the global broadcast and their broadcasters.

Travis d’Arnaud’s infield single ties it for the Mets in the fourth inning.

Another storyline to keep an eye on is Daniel Murphy.

In a heartbreaking coincidence, Volquez’s father is the third parent of player on the Royals’ World Series roster to die in the past three months.

Both managers agree that this World Series experience is very special.

Royals catcher Salvador Perez is of Kansas City’s leaders.

Before his meltdown against the Blue Jays, Cueto tossed a gem at Kauffman Stadium in the deciding Game 5 of the Division Series versus Houston.

Heavy rain in the afternoon gave way to light rain at game time, when the temperature was 52 degrees.

Cueto boasts the superior coiffure in the battle of hirsute World Series Game 2 starters. Time to cue up Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days”. “By the same token, I think we know enough about the forecast that we’re not going to get in a situation that we start at 8:07 and get rained out at 8:12 and burn two starting pitchers”.

Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar had 17 hits in the postseason, the most for either team. A year ago they came agonizingly close to claiming the sport’s top prize, but lost Game 7 of the World Series. He really draws on the energy of our fans.

“I just like pitching”, deGrom said. But in a hostile environment in Toronto, he was hammered for eight runs in two innings, joining A.J. Burnett as the only pitchers to allow 11 baserunners in a playoff start lasting two or fewer innings.

It’s time to start paying attention. “I just felt I was having trouble locating, which happened to me early on this year”.

“It doesn’t matter to me whether I pitch at home or on the road”. I’ve actually enjoyed pitching on the road in the postseason.

I hope you’re wrong again, Bing. His minor league career began with the Batavia Trojans, a Mets affiliate in the Short-A New York-Penn League. We’ve got you covered. Because this guy can quick-pitch you. Don’t worry about it. Liberally toss around the team nicknames and you should be fine. And let’s get ready to rumble. “Even though he has the velocity, it doesn’t have the life it once had”, Collins said. “But I like to sit where I’m sitting”.

“Yeah, it’s kind of insane, they were the best team in the league all year, and they nearly won the championship last year, too”. “Apparently they have the reincarnation of Babe Ruth over there”, Glass said. (Barry Bonds, Carlos Beltran, and Nelson Cruz now share the record, with eight.) Incredibly, as the World Series gets under way, Murphy is the favorite (at 4:1) to win the series MVP award, according to Bovada.
