Can he finish what he started . 22. He wanted cueto here at home in front of these fans. Not only tonight but if there is a game six. He would get the ball back here at Kauffman Stadium. Harold i just cant see Daniel Murphy going down without a fight. He has had some tough atbats he will take a walk. Wade davis getting ready in case. You have to win the game. I think cueto was questioning counts. Harold you are right. Thats my fault. Probably wouldnt have thrown that pitch had he the 32. Joe think he thought it was ball 2, 22 count instead of a 32 count. It continues for cespedes. As murphy takes ball one up and in. Harold a good move by perez get out here. Tom calm him down. And, davis there also. You obviously want to win the game. Not sure you want to extend johnny cueto make him work too hard. I know there is an extra day between this game and game six. Your heart wants him to finish if you are ned yost. But you watch him closely. Joe cespedes is hitless tonight. 03. He is 20. Three walks to night for cueto. He is 20. Broken bat. Fly ball. Right field. How about cueto. 20. Cueto now 21 this season. The pitcher, general manager of the royals. To get at the deadline. Here in game two of the world series. He is up and down. He struggled on. He has been good. Tonight. We have the great play tonight. He was fantastic from the beginning. Thought he did a great job of locating. Kept the ball down. And he kept the pitch count going. That was the game for me. He was masterful. Never gave in. Kansas city taking two games started by matt harvey, jacob degrom. Two young guns with the mets. Were able to get just four strikeouts combined. Joe such a strength for kansas city. Able to put the bat on the ball. Baseball. With that we send it to ken rosenthal. Ken johnny cueto brilliant. Two hitter. When did you know it was going to be the good johnny . He has been good at home. He was locked in the first couple innings. He was missing spots not out over the plate. Hair in or out. He was electric. The type of outing we needed. With the way we used our bullpen last night. Huge outing from a bigtime player. Ken two out, two run single broke a 11 tie in the fifth. What was it, that inning against degrom. Location or royals aggression . Our aggression. Off a guy like that. An ace. Any opportunity you get, in position. You got to take full advantage of it. That was key tonight. Every time we got guys on base off degrom. We took advantage of it. Those are big opportunities. The way he throws the ball. All of those. Ken thank you. Erin. Erin what a treat, mike moustakas. I have to ask him questions first. Your pitcher, johnny cueto cruising through three. And in the fourth inning. Kind of got out of whack a little with the strike zone. You met him at the mound. What was the adjustment to be made . Thats what he do. Erin what was working the rest of the way for him to finish the game tonight . He had his head in the count. That worked for him a lot. He was ahead in the count. First try. Erin ned yost shared with us, something you saying, you have come to the point on big stages like this, this just ke a regular game. Does this feel lake a ike a regular game . I try to concentrate on my game and plan. We love the fans. Thank you for the support. And thank you for everything they do for us. Erin thank you so much. Mike, come on over. Jake degrom was cruising in this game. And then that fifth inning happened. What happened . What adjustment did you make in facing him . He is a great pitcher. Putting the ball in play all night. Just wouldnt catch any breaks. We kept battling throughout the game. And, you know. Caught a break. Rio had a big hit. Took off from there. Kept that throughout the entire game. Erin kept battling the post season. Why are you so loose, and thank god they didnt get us with the water, by the way. Why are you so loose in that dugout . Because we have been here before. Up know, against the astros in the wild card game. Been in these situations. We are comfortable with where were at. Got to go out and continue to play good ball. We are confident. Erin comfortable going to new york city. And comfortable going up to new york city. Up two games. Absolutely. We still got to go out and find a way to beat a great team. The way they can play. We got to keep battling. Keep putting pressure on them. Erin thanks. Joe. The royals get the first world series complete game since Bret Saberhagen in the clincher game seven when they won it all in 1985. Cueto, first twohitter in world series since greg maddux. In 1995. Game one for the braves. Over the indians. What a game. Kevin, guys, all yours. 71. Kansas city up 2o. The royals impressive. 20. Hear from some people. Lots of barackdown in reakdown with frank thomas, pete rose, 19year vet, raul ibanez, and alex rodriguez. A lot to do when we come back. Breaking down the royals 72 win over the mets. They have a 20 series lead in the world series. The post game show. You can imagine the crowd is pretty crazy here at Kauffman Stadium now. Why not . The royals taking a commanding 20 world series lead. Welcome back to our set here in left field. Everyone is going nuts. They are fired up. They feel the way the royals are playing. There is a lot of things we can talk about which we will. Lets start with johnny cueto. The decision was made to start him at home. Why . Because it is easy. Look at the numbers here at home. Versus the road. Its such a stark difference. And just consider his last two games at home. 17 innings. Four hits allowed. Frank cueto. Last time he was on the mound. Eight runs. Booed out of the stadium. Cueto fans tonight. A different chant. The great of johnny cueto. The one pete rose talks about and loves all the time. Came out focused. You can tell. Did his thing. Thats why the royals are up 20. Johnny cueto pitched like the ace they traded for. This is why they got him. Sorry i said ten runs. Scored eight together. You did say cueto would bring it. You were right. He pitches well here. They know that. Thats what he started here. Thats why they gave him and brought him over from cincinnati. This is the johnny cueto we know in cincinnati. Interesting to me. Because in the fourth inning. If that looked like the inning. Mets had a chance to knock him out of the game. Working around the mound. You know what he did. What all great aces do. Min mitzed the damage. Made the pitches. Needed to make pitches. And changed speed. And used the fastball. And offspeed. Keep the guy off balance. Signature moment. One he will remember forever. For sure. 122 pitches. In control for all 122. Very, very impressive. Fascinating to me. This mets staff. We know how good they are. Something we have never seen before. They were challenged like never before. We have seen that in two games. Look at the numbers. 34 starts on average. 50, swings, misses. Tonight three. He feels he is mike tyson. Punches you once. Tonight kansas city did not flinch. No doubt. The royals. What they do. Degrom. They executed jabs. They do what they do. They, they, hit you with small, keep the ball in the yard. They get base hit. Base hit. Theyre relentless. They put the ball in play. I dont thing the royals care who is pitching against them. Put it on the ball. Four, five hits. Unbelievable. What they have put together. It is not common. Believe me. The best fastball in baseball. Over 350 pitches over, 95. 98. And around 96. 95, 96. That shows the great inning thats why theyre such a force right now. Theyre comfortable in the second world series in two years. Mets are going home. Great at home. In the second half. A positive for them. Inning tiff. The two best pitchers lost. Give me a status report on what the mets are feeling like right now getting on the plane. I agree. He as got to ignite this offense. Best player. Hottest hitter since they got there. Not producing. Really rough to win. Other thing is, cespedes is the best player. No matter how hot Daniel Murphy is. You saw what he did. He transformed the franchise. All he needs is one big hit. To say, the new york mets were back. We are here to stay. And play a long series. Pete, they love you here in kansas city. What do they want me to do . Get up on the thing and sing. Ken all for it im all for it. Taking the pressure off. Cant wait to see all right. Back on friday. You told us youd make a prediction, game three. Can you make a prediction on the series now. No, i will go with the royals. Go with the royals. Thats a lunge. Got here saying, royals in seven. It could be royals in six the way theyre playing now. Very confident. All year long they want to get back to the world series prove theyre a better team. Frank not the first time frank had a bold idea about predicting things. Done it plenty of times before. Frank predicts. Frank predicts. He predicted what else did frank predict . I knew this one. Predicted it last week. Hes been in office forring a years. The u. S. Would knock off the soviet union. Yeah, back then. Predicted in 1992. Dewey beat truman. Frank had this in 1986. Back to the future. Tremendous job. Best analysts. Best predictions. Great stuff. Wow. All right.

Its time for the fox 5 postgame show brought to you by shetty offers. Com. [applause] holding at third as perez. Russ you are looking at a shot from Kauffman Stadium in kansas kansas city where the royals are celebrating a world series victory for a second straight night. This one a 71 beat down of the mets at kansas city now taking a now going to new york at citi field. How are you i am Russ Salzberg taken welcome to our fox 5 postgame postgame show brought to you by chevy chevy and when you say we get started with a look at some of the highlights from tonights game to. Top four we go first and second two out two on the big man lucas duda goes it goes the other way on the Johnnie Cueto pitch. I would send home from second with a 10 lead on the hometown royals but in the fifth starter jacob degrom gets in trouble. First and second nobody ive escobar pitches to center incomes alex gordon. He gets home easily and they royals square one apiece and three batters later, eric cosma knocks in two more with a single into center. In comes escobar 31 royals. Following canteros masala is own. Capping off a fourrun inning the first time the mets starter would but give up more than three ones in the game. 7won the final and the mets now come home and a 02 series hole. Would hole. Would you say we send it back out to duke astutely on who is on the field at Kauffman Stadium. Duke i dont know what the big concern was that the mets starting pitching or the lack of hitting or how about the royals hitting. The royals had 10 hits and they scored seven runs rate as one of the things Terry Collins talked about was the royals attacking the plate. Its exactly what people said and i told jake not everything has to be a strike. Youve got to move it around and something to look at. Duke one of the things that happened in this game was jacob degrom gave up a walk and alex rios or excuse me alex scored in the fifth inning and leadoff walks baseball will kill you and about if debate whether or not he left degrom too long but degrom couldnt put anybody win the inning and Terry Collins warming up the bullpen. He could rot in moustakas and he didnt do it. The question was did he leave degrom into long . Well you know this guy has been our ace. We have been sitting here raving the last two series that he has set to your favorite 10. Russ still to come on the fox 5 postgame show we will go back out to duke astutely on for more at Kauffman Stadium plus we will hear from Terry Collins again and are turning point of tonights game all coming up layover. 24 hours.
