Exactly. Theres a number of reasons why the Jays lost, and just as many as Kansas City almost lost. Difference is, the Jays didn't come through, the Royals got a lot of help purely on judgement calls.
HR instead of a double.
Balk which wouldve brought Pompey in uncontested.
Second strike to Revere which changed that at bat form 3--1 to 2-2 and thus the entire dynamic and opened strike zone up.
