People love stupid comparisons to other series(how many times have you heard the Mets were down 0-2 in 1986, before winning it?), so here's one:
This looks a whole lot like the ALCS. Royals win games 1 and 2 then go to Toronto and basically get waxed in game 3. About the only difference is we did tack on some much overhyped garbage time runs in this game, like we did in that one. Oh but we did get a free look at Familia just like we did at Osuna in game 3.
Obviously, I don't think we win 14-2 tomorrow but we can win. I know everybody is afraid that since the Mets have seen CY, they're going to light him up, but CY is far from stupid. He knows he's gonna need to throw different pitches in different counts and do something to change up his approach. Dude has responded big time whenever asked this year. Plus, Duffy and Medlen can each go 2 or more tomorrow. CY needs 4 good innings. That's all

Got to him just fine? You had a bunch of broken bat bloops and Sal Perez never should have even been on base to start the 2nd.
So the free look only matters when it's the Royals opposition, but not the other way around? Got it.
Royals got a good look at Familia, but the same logic doesn't apply to Young apparently.
