Dbacks @ Astros, September 18, 2021

Smith grounds out 4-3. But Astros now chasing three runs.

Well that fucking sucked.

Clippard in, Meyers at 2B

Castro pinch hitting for Maldonado…singles to RF, Meyers scores

Why the fuck do you send the runner there?

And why didn’t Castro move up on the throw?

Turns the lineup over…tying run at the plate

Castro gets it done again.

Ok, cutoff was closer than I thought, Castro would have been dead.

My first question remains.

Altuve grounds into 6-4 FC

Maybe they saw the DBacks were poorly set up.

I guess they sent him in the hope that there would be some clumsiness that would let Castro go to 2nd. Didn’t work out that way. I’m surprised that AZ even went home with the throw.

Bregman takes a fat pitch down the middle…takes strike two on the corner…ball…ball…full up…foul…walks, Altuve to 2B

I agree throwing home when you have a 3-run lead is not smart.

Alvarez, representing the winning run, one out…

Grounds out 4-3 on the first pitch…Altuve to 3B, Bregman to 2B

You have to pinch run for Bregman here

Siri in to run for Bregman…two on, two out for Gurriel…

That’s what Carlos was telling Dusty.

Gurriel flies out F8

Suck

DBacks get their first win in a week and 20th road win of the season

Astros magic number remains at 9 with 14 to play.
