The Kansas City Royals host the New York Mets in Game One for the 2015 World Series on Tuesday, October 27 start time at 8:00 PM ET, at Kauffman Stadium.
The Royals will counter with Edinson Volquez in the first game, while Johnny Cueto, Yordano Ventura and Chris Young, in order, are the probables for the next three games. I said, Well, we need to address a few things, talk to a few other people. “Right now, it’s about our team and about winning”.
Several members of the Royals were guests of the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, watching their cross-the-parking lot neighbors beat the Pittsburgh Steelers to snap a five-game skid.
“That’s pretty hard to swallow. So you’ve got to stay under control and pitch your game”.
Sure, Luke Hochevar, who starred at Fowler High School, got a taste of the Fall Classic past year. They were brought along carefully during the regular season, not only for their long-term health, but so they would be strong in October.
Acquired by the Mets along with Juan Uribe from the Atlanta Braves prior to the July 31 trade deadline, Johnson will get the nod over a 2014 Gold Glove victor in Juan Lagares. “But for me being out here with my teammates is all I want and I couldn’t be happier to be with them here now”.
Moreover, eight of the past nine World Series have been won by the team with the shorter playoff; the 2009 Philadelphia Phillies were the lone exception.

Harvey knows it will take more than a fastball to give the Mets a chance at their first title in 29 years.
New York’s starters serve up much more than 95-100 miles per hour fastballs, too. All of them have rapidly honed polished off-speed pitches and fine-tuned their ability to locate them precisely.

To see Harvey in the champagne showers in the victorious visiting clubhouses of Los Angeles and Chicago was to see a man telling the truth, to see a young, wide-eyed face of absolute amazement, to see the kid who admitted Monday that the force of what this team has accomplished has yet to completely sink in.
