The closer blew game 1 and Collins never made best use of him thereafter. He should have been in there for a six-out save in Game 4 and for the 9th in Game 5 (or at least after the lead-off walk). Pitching the 9th in the Game 3 blowout didn't make a lot of sense either.
The series was a total team defeat for the Mets, with blame all around. Still, an entertaining series and they played KC close or better in four of the five games.
