The catcher for the Mets has not yet missed a postseason game. D'Arnaud should, so long as he remains healthy, be behind the plate for every pitch made by the Mets against the Kansas City Royals. The task at hand will be that much more difficult for the Mets if d'Arnaud is not, for whatever reasons, at his best.
His World Series got off to a rough start on Tuesday night.
With d'Arnaud crouched behind the dish, Matt Harvey began the bottom of the first inning by tossing a fastball over the plate. Alcides Escobar, to the surprise of nobody who watched him in the American League Championship Series, came out swinging.
