Was Jeffers giving signs?

Presumably using the wrist communicator. Why is KC not using it?

Buxton taking the day off? 6 pitches. No swings. Worked out this time.

Buxton takes 6 pitches and walks, and Correa GIDP on a ball up and in....SMH

Good challenge.

Still a bad swing by Correa...

I don't think they could challenge the swing

After all that, Greinke tossing a no-hitter after 1.

I liked KC’s lineup yesterday. I’d like it even better with Santana out of their lineup. 

I just remembered, when Zack Greinke became a finesse pitcher, he learned how to throw a cutter from the master himself, Greg Maddux. See how he played with the outside line with Arraez? I could see Luis commenting on it to the umpire. Greinke was placing the ball within about a centimeter of where he wanted it. After he got two calls on the edge, the next one was six inches outside. Of course!

I get the feeling this ump is gonna have an inconsistent strike zone today.

Home plate umpires are consistently inconsistent. Humans suck at calling balls and strikes.

Pitches he was giving to Grienke as strikes have been balls for Gray on several occasions through 2 innings. 

Battle of the grunters today...Grienke vs Gray. 

Looks like Lewis has been watching Buxton wrt self-preservation.

GREAT catch by Lewis in CF. Hopefully, he's ok. 

Shocked Royce held onto the ball after that collision. 

The thing that strikes me about Lewis is how big and strong he is. 
 

Not smiling on the way to the dugout. He may be a bit more shaken up than it appeared after colliding with the wall. 

From Gamecast that umpire is dyslexic.

Is there a concussion protocol in baseball? His cap and glasses went flying.

I'm not seeing this big discrepancy on balls and strikes

You know it's another ho-hum game for the offense when Dick starts trying to pump up the audience when a guy "just missed his pitch" or "was right on a pitch and fouled it straight back".

Grienke's out there throwing 76 MPH. Wake me up when they hit one out of the park.

I was thinking the same thing. Looked like he hit his head as much as anything else. 

Gio with a little power!!

Short nap!

Looks like Gordon is replacing Royce as well, hopefully just precautionary 

Gio strikes again.

GIO!!!

Well i enjoyed the video of Lewis talking about running into the wall , More than seeing it,  Lets hope its nothing !!

Jeffers is giving signs when nobody is on base. I’ve seen a couple of veteran pitchers that prefer that approach, but switch to the pitch-com when a runner can peek at signs. 
 

Grienke might be doing the same thing
