I can't figure out how to embed this on my phone right now, but it shows Navarro's at bat.

His called strike 2 is as bad as Revere's and basically forces him to swing at an unhittable strike 3.
Yup, and then it snowballs.
1)Navarro playing defense at the plate instead of being ahead.
2)Pitcher ahead so can throw different next pitch out of zone,knowing this
3)Pitcher goes to same pitch with Revere,knowing ump just called it
4)Ump doesn't like being called inconsistent, so two wrongs=a right
5)Revere is at 2-2 instead of 3-1 and see 1)&2).
6)Now two outs so KC defense can play back. Donaldson and his sharp hit is a routine force at first.
