I thought the exact same thing as tree did when Z pointed to his ear and thought yeah, he hears the boos and knew he deserved it. When he ran through the stop sign at third shows me he's out of control. Someone needs to step on him and put him in his place and hopefully Lou will be that man. It doesn't have to be a public thing so the fans can feel better about what Z said but an effective talk that helps Z grow up as a player and lets him know he's part of a team and it isn't just about him. It's one thing being emotional but as Ping said, it's a whole other thing when you let it effect your game and this has happened to Z way too often IMO. What he said after the game is emotion spew after a game and it really doesn't bother me that much. But, if he continues to whine about it after he calms down, then we have a problem. Z's ball has a lot of movement and I think that some umps have a hard time accurately judging them and imo, that frustrates him. Granted, he has to learn to get over it but some of his pitches were close and almost all were called for balls.
