Credit given where its due for the Royals bringing home a title, but let's not pretend that the Mets very much blew it both on defense and game management. Harvey shouldn't have gone out for the 9th, Familia should've not been used in a blowout game that burned precious innings, Collins should've deployed Ligares in game one, and pulled DeGrom in game 2 before it got out of hand.
Granted, the Royals took extreme advantage of the opportunities presented to them and maybe the series ends in their favor anyways. But it didn't need to end last night with the Mets handing the trophy over.
