Mr.Z's heart is in knots. And it ain't over Armando Galarraga.
After winning six of eight, including a tough series split against division-leading Oklahoma City, the Zs have sleepwalked through two home tilts with Omaha.
Tuesday night Mr.Z apparently enraged Gaby Hernandez with his withering criticism of his career (see previous post); Hernandez threw seven strong innings of two-run ball, striking out six. Sean West's first appearance of the year for the Zs was weird: he only got five outs, four of them strikeouts. Hunter Jones came in and was ineffective, giving up seven runs, including a majestic bomb to Alex Gordon, who KC has said they are converting into a left fielder... although he was the DH Tuesday. One the bright side, Donnie Murphy homered again in the 9-2 loss.
Not much good to say about last night. Things only appear reasonably competitive in a 10-5 Omaha win due to four Zs runs in the 8th and 9th. Ka'aihue took VandenHurk deep in the first, and things depreciated for the Dutchman. Badenhop was unscored upon in two and two-thirds so that's something.
