Yankees fans may have been thrilled with the outcome of Rays-Blue Jays Monday night, as it kept the Bombers within a half-game of Toronto.
Just because we’re overjoyed, though, does not mean we’re unbiased. Home plate umpire Ron Kulpa absolutely took runs off the board for the Jays, and his self-insertion into the game was never more egregious than during the final at-bat.
Entrusted with a 6-2 lead entering the ninth, we believed in former Yankee (exhales deeply) David Robertson to get the job done. When does the Rays bullpen falter?
