Love The Result, But Not The Decisions Along The Way

Fresh off the All-Star break, the Astros took Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Yankees thanks to a dramatic bases-loaded walk-off hit by pinch-hitter J.J. Matijevic in the bottom of the ninth. Good thing as Aaron Judge was due to hit second in the top of the tenth inning with Anthony Rizzo hitting in front of him and the zombie runner possibly lurking nearby. So, yeah, I was nervous during the bottom of the ninth, especially with Ryan Pressly unavailable in this doubleheader due to the birth of his child. The script was set for New York to capitalize in the next inning.
