The Royals run because they are hunt and peck as opposed to heavy hitters. Mets should have put in Familia.
It wasn’t so much the hit that hurt Harvey...it was the walk. You CAN’T walk the leadoff batter in the 9th.
If the Mets lose what was meant to be a reward from the manager to a deserving pitcher will turn into the worst decision of the year. And the New York press is going to skewer Collins.
That’s the way the game is supposed to be played. I hope a lot of teams decide to emulate the royals’ style. Frankly, it’s a more interesting game.
