the Mets didnt play well though, and they gave away 3 games in the 9th inning

:ld:
Play crappy defense and say the royals are lucky

This is what they do, there a hustle team with speed

Speed causes chaos, Royals speed wasn't a factor against the Giants and that's why they lost last year

Debatable. Not taking anything away from the Royals, but the Mets led for more innings :yeshrug:

They essentially turned 2 wins into losses with egregious defensive mistakes.

That's how the Torre-era dynasty Yankees constantly won games & chips. Teams that can weather an early storm, chip away, stay focused, play small ball until the small gash they inflicted becomes a late game hemmorage (as they did last night from the 9th on) are damn good baseball teams, and frankly, are more enjoyable to watch IMO.

That's not how the Royals won game 4/5 tho. They grounded, and ran into, outs that Mets fielders turned into runs.

The Royals are an excellent team, but this narrative about how they play is getting dumb.

Royals put pressure on you and if you have a sh!ty defense you get exposed

Why u think the Giants beat kc, they minimized mistakes and shut down the run game

They had exactly one more run scored via error than the league average this season.
