But ignore that. Rigged.
Bobby going 0-5 doesn’t absolve the replay officials in New York from doing their fucking job correctly. You know, the ONLY fucking thing they’re paid to do!
It’s okay to acknowledge the bullshit while recognizing there are other things the Royals could have done better.
The Yankees didn’t exactly play their A game either. [Reply]

Three Yanks were hitless. This wasn’t their best. [Reply]

A big part of that was our pitching getting squeezed. Our pitching did about as well as they could against that lineup under the circumstances. They kept it as close as they could. [Reply]

That run flipped the game from 50/50 to 20/80. 1:1 to 1:4. It's a pretty fucking big deal. Two out go ahead run that shouldn't have been and enabled the Yankees to go to their setup/closer with six outs to go. On a play that was reviewed with all the angles and all the slow-mo. The impact on the game was brutal. "Just play better" rings pretty damn hollow when two teams are playing on thin margins in a best of 5.
