Price is doing a great job of taking advantage of the big zone. Much like Volquez did to us last night.

I don't get why the ball hitting the wire is any different then it hitting the betting itself.

Catch is irrelevant since the wire altered its path.

I wouldl not have - particularly since there isn't a great option on the bench. And I don't think you want to take any defensive downgrade. Not with a team that puts the ball in play like the Royals do.

I'm just laughing at Blaster86's comments in the Rangers series thread. Something about "Price is awful, there I said it", and calling him the worst Ace in the majors.

This ump is really terrible. So inconsistent.

I don't mind a wide strike zone but when I see calls like that I wonder if a computerized strike zone isn't the way to go. That wasn't close to a strike on a 3-2 pitch.

Giant zone continues. No complaints from me as long as it stays big both ways.

He was hot garbage in that series. Glad he rebounded.

Two pitches in that at bat were clearly not strikes - Jose got robbed, but we've got Price on our side.

I wonder how long it'll be before umps are replaced by technology. Traditionalists will despise it, but I think it's only a matter of time before it happens.

it's ok, we're up 3-0, don't care if the strike zone is the size of a garage door.
