I don't see a problem with it. You've got 2 outs in the 9th, down by 1. Pitcher is dealing. Duplantis barely gets on with an infield single. He is fast. If you don't get him in scoring position for this batter, you're gonna have to get either an extra-base-hit or string 2 hits together, and your next 2 batters are a combined 0-7. Not likely with the way Gordon was pitching.

Taking that a step further, do you think we were guessing he might be going, hence the fastball outside?

And we had thrown over to 1st before that to hold him on/ let them know were keeping an eye on him, or catch him leaning, etc..
