McCoy strikes out looking on a pitch that was a ball a half inning ago and Ring draws a walk.

It was NOT right down the middle as MiLB at bat shows. It was low and outside.

Reyes is late on everything he swung at. 2 outs.

JC Escarra to pinch hit. 

[Legend_Of_Joey]

The outfielders have their backs against the fence. Only thing that can go over their head will win the game.

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Escarra flies out to center to end the game. Ouch.

Here’s who walked in the top of the 9th:

Blake Perkins .151 BA

Nick Pratto .160

Seuly Matias .179

MJ Melendez .138

I will say this, all four have drawn a lot of walks this season.   But really?

Maybe the moment got too big for the pitchers?

Probably.   So busy trying not to allow the first hit that they forgot that the object is to win the game.

Melendez, Pratto, and Matias are all very legit prospects. Matias lead the entire minor leagues in home runs last year.

You should hang out with @POR, I’m pretty sure y’all are sitting near one another.

I did not see this thread until this morning.

If the 9th inning had been an Orioles game that I was watching on tv a couple of years ago, my remote would of been in a lot of pieces.

Thanks, good info.   I just looked them up and both Matias and Melendez are ranked in the BP top 100 and Pratto was a first rounder in 2017 who had a solid year last year.    So, I probably shouldn’t have judged them solely on the BA’s that were popping up as I was following the game on GameDay.    Still, winning 4-0 in the 9th the last thing you want to do is walk a bunch of guys who haven’t been hitting this season.
