This information is a few years old, but I'm guessing umps tend to stick with a particular strike zone for long periods of time. As of 2013, Doug Eddings (tonight's home plate ump) was tending to give a lot of calls off the low inside corner against RHB. However tonight we've even seen him calling strikes way over the top of the zone, all over the place really. https://strikezonemaps.wordpress.com/2013_05_01_doug_eddings-sln_cin-norm/
What were we expecting to happen here? We threw out a pitcher everyone in the world knew would give up several runs, this was a loss before the first pitch was thrown. They knew this, we should have known this. Going into a game knowing you were going to lose is hardly crashing back to earth.
Indians and Royals have just been a pain in the ass. Only two teams that have beat the Astros in a series this year. Crazy.
Eh, Royals taking advantage of AAA pitchers and bullpen guys that might be tired. Still mad about last night though.
I'm sure Greg is gonna be asked to go 2 tonight, and we probably aren't gonna need to use anybody in the 9th.
Yea. Got spoiled to the point that losing 2 in a row to a cellar dweller just leaves a foul taste in your mouth.
