Baseball quickie
How can the Kansas City Royals, owners of the fifth worst Earned Run Average, or ERA, in the American League get 11 innings of shutout pitching today, including work from their bullpen which through Wednesday was 1-7 with a 6.23 ERA??
This is the core of what has made baseball great, its utter unpredictability on so many scales. It is a narrative writ large and small, and larger and smaller. From the confrontation of each pitch and each at-bat, to the story of every game, every series and each team's season. The Clarion didn't even tell you about the beanballs that were flying in this Royals-Twins game.
