DBacks @ Astros, September 17, 2021

Yea, a little baby one.

A 4.5 centered in Carson City, CA (L.A. Metro). I’m in south O.C.

T9:

McCarthy grounds out 4-3

T9:

Rojas strikes out swinging

2-2

I’ll never forget when I was watching the pre-game of the A’s-Giants series and it disappeared from the screen in a strange way. I yelled to my wife “I think they just had an earthquake.” At that time I didn’t know how serious it was.

Pressley was all shook up but he sent McCarthy to the Heartbreak Hotel and treated Rojas like a hound dog.

…OK, I’ll stop

B9:

Ramirez in for the DBacks

Castro with a rule-book double to RF

I’m not sure I like our chances against somebody named Noe.

On the other hand, a leadoff double has to help.

McCormick in to pinch run for Castro

Castro smoked that ball like a Cuban cigar.

B9:

Altuve walks. Ramirez wanted no part of that

As if Bregman is a better option.

B9:

Bregman…3-0…fastball right down the middle…flies out to shallow CF

That was disappointing.

Bregman’s failure to move the runner hurts.

B9:

Gurriel grounds out 3-1 on a check swing on the first pitch

I understand taking 3-0 in that situation, but damn Bregman had a cookie to hit on 3-0.

3-1 wasn’t a terrible pitch either, he just did jack shit with it.

That’s all for Ramirez…

Yeah. It wasn’t quite as good as the 3-0 pitch, but it was good enough to do damage with.

Yep. He had a cookie 3-1 and popped it up.
