Duda may be the worst hitter I've ever seen in the playoffs. Lol, guaranteed dick sucker in clutch situations.

Ben Zobrist did not allow his teammates to hang their heads for long. He smashed a leadoff double, his second on the night, to start the bottom of the inning. But Lorenzo Cain made a curious, misguided choice. He tried to bunt Zobrist to third. After he struck out, Cain stomped and swore in front of third-base coach Rusty Kuntz.
“I told Rusty I’m never bunting again,” Cain said.

As Volquez warmed up before the game, reports proliferated on social media about Daniel Volquez, a 63-year-old from the Dominican Republic, who was dealing with a heart condition, according to The Associated Press.
The situation caused awkwardness on the television broadcast and within the news media. Citing conversations with family members, ESPN Deportes reported that Volquez learned about his father’s death as he drove to the park on Tuesday. Multiple Royals officials insisted that was not true, and that the Volquez family asked that Edinson not hear the news until after he left the game.
In the afternoon, Yost said, general manager Dayton Moore received a phone call from Volquez family. Moore and Yost conferred with catching coach Pedro Grifol and bench coach Don Wakamatsu on how to handle the situation.
“We just decided that we were going to honor the family’s wishes,” Yost said, adding “I love Eddie Volquez. And if his family asked me to do something, I’m going to do it.”

2 of the 3 World Series games to go 14 innings featured an inside-the-park home run in the 1st inning (other: 1916!)

Ben Zobrist has the early inside track on the WS MVP.
Cueto has a 1.86 ERA at home since being traded to KC. But he won't have Herrerra available to bail him out in the 7th and 8th innings tonight. Herrerra threw 35 pitches last night. He won't be pitching today.

Zobrist really came through every time it seemed the Mets were putting that game to bed Hosmer was an Alex Gordon HR from really looking like the goat last night |

NY averaged 26.2% of homes for Game 1. KC averaged insane 57.3, highest for any market for Game 1 since since at least 1996.

So what is the deal with Perez's shin guard? Can't these Royals play without the appearance of cheating?

I was very impressed with Mets CF Juan Lagares play last night.
Hung tough as nails, fouling off 98+ MPH offerings from Kelvin Herrera, eventually getting on, then stealing second base.
Later on, laid down a picture perfect bunt base hit.
His season stats don't look like much, but he sure was a gamer in a losing effort Tuesday.

this may have been covered already.....but there is NO WAY that was and 'inside the park HR'...
Cespedes got there in plenty of time, was slowing down, was there, fly ball HIT HIM IN THE LEG. If that isn't an error, I don't know what is.
