It's the right move. Ward will be more valuable later. Murton? Soto? Just to clarify, I might have gone with Murton. But I wouldn't have burned Ward there.
On the plus side, it looks like we can get to Hernandez. If somehow someone can scratch out 1 or 2 clutch hits, we might have a chance. Just hope Rich keeps the D'backs close.
Come on people, stop blaming umpires. Whether that's a strike or not, it's certainly borderline, and you don't take borderline calls with 2 strikes. Horrible job by Ramirez.
