On Monday, the Arizona Diamondbacks dropped Game 3 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers at home, at Chase Field.
An early home run by Corey Seager put the D-Backs in a rut, but they actually reached the ninth inning down just two runs and with a good chance of putting something together to try and come back.
During the first at-bat of the last inning, Rangers closer Jose Leclerc was facing D-Backs catcher Gabriel Moreno.
Moreno had worked the count in his favor, 3-1, and took a ball outside that had the look of ball four.
Umpire Alfonso Marquez, however, called it a strike.
Moreno was already off to first, but had to return: it was a clear ball.
On the very next pitch, Moreno grounded out and Leclerc went from a potentially no-out, man at first situation to a much better one-out, bases-empty scenario.
In baseball, and in win probability, that carries a lot of weight.
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo feels that the inning could have gone differently had Moreno gotten that walk (that he deserved).
He could have substituted Moreno for a pinch runner to apply some pressure on Leclerc, perhaps score a run and make it a one-run game with big batters such as Christian Walker and Tommy Pham due up.
He never had the chance, though.
“Torey Lovullo said he was up at 3:30 am ‘steaming’ mad about the strike call on Moreno in the ninth last night,” MLB insider Chelsea Janes tweeted.

Obviously, as Janes reported, Lovullo had trouble sleeping thinking about the call that could have changed the outcome of the game and, therefore, the series.
Now, Game 4 at Chase Field is a must-win for Arizona.
