Speaking strictly for the World Series Familia wasn't good enough Clippard certainly wasn't good enough Murphy wasn't good enough - either with the bat OR with the glove Cespedes was near good enough d'Arnaud wasn't good enough Flores wasn't good enough Basically no one with the possible exceptions of Grandson & Conforto were good enough this past week. I still don't believe they were overmatched but they certainly were in this series. KC was a good team in the second year of their best run in three decades, plus they got every conceivable break -- both ones they created and ones that fell into their laps.
He's thru 8 innings but has the pitch count more like an efficient 7 -- I'd pitch Harvey in the 9th - no question!!!! And it's not like Jerry Family has been lights out this week. If beard-boy gives up a runner then give him the hook.
I let him hit. If there are runners on he can bunt. If there aren't then it'll probably be 2 out and none on. I want Harvey pitching the 8th, and if he comes through that unscathed I want him pitching the 9th too!!

He spent a good portion of the previous four years not hitting the ball at all. Smells like a big BABiP quirk that's ripe for a regression coming to a stadium near you.
