You know, this is something that me and my father in law were talking about at the game today. We have pretty decent front row seats behind home plate in the upper deck so we have a good idea of what's strikes and what isn't. It seemed like after the first inning Verlanders zone increased some on the outsideportion of the zone. At the same time, Varas' to us shrank in the same area. So we talked about hitting approaches from each team. Detroit could sit on anything outside because it wasn't being called and we surmised that the Royals had to change they're approach on the outside pitches because it was being called strikes for Verlander and they had to protect with swings. Could be wrong, just something that both him and I saw. He's had these seats for the last 10 years and we've had ours for the last 2.
