Here's an interesting look by new FanGraphs writer Jeff Sullivan into why David Robertson got lit up last night by Adam Jones and Mark Reynolds. Worth a read.

When the O's got pitches to hit in the important 8th inning, they didn't miss them. A lot of times, those pitches get fouled off. But not last night...

It's not just about location. It didn't help, but you know, Jones is one of the best fastball hitters in the league, and Reynolds isn't that bad himself. Your margin of error there isn't very big. It's not like Jones took that curveball behind his head very seriously.
That said, pretty good article. I got a kick out of the last line too.
