Big call in the 9th inning

Game changing? Who knows. But how do you call that a strike?

Down 2 and he's the leadoff hitter.

Awful call, but a pitch earlier in the count was in the zone and called a ball. Technically it evens out, but it changes the complexity of the at bat. Bad job by Alfonso Marquez.

Funny how this gets all the attention but no mention of Walker blowing a potential huge inning by running through a stop sign + getting thrown out at home.

Texas is really limping towards the finish line.

Walker has been awful this postseason. Don't like his body language either. Seems completely lost and out of it.

Diamondbacks really blew it in game 1, they should have a 2-1 lead. I think they need to win games 4 and 5 now to make up for that.

On another note, I can't fathom why any pitcher throws a first pitch strike to Seager. The guy is notorious for swinging on the first pitch and can be beaten with offspeed pitches that dive out of the zone. Hopefully Arizona adjusts.
