It would seem that Jorge De La Rosa got himself a bad case of J.P. Howell disease this season.
I don't mean to be a snarky little crybaby about this sort of thing, but how does this happen so often to the Royals? Is there a specific explanation? Worse of all, for the Royals anyway, I understand he was 16-3 over his last 19 decisions.
Here are Jorge's lines for the past 5 years:
