I was not able to see all the game but in what I saw there were 2 things that stood out to me.
With the bases load and 1 out against Keuchel. He was having control problems and he just tried to get Rosales to lay off the outside pitch and he laid off of it but threw the same pitch and hit into a double play.
The other was with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 8th of a 4-4 game and Qualls was also having control problems and the ump had a tight strike zone. Martin has to make sure that the first pitch is exactly where he wants it or let it go. If it is a ball then the pressure is on Qualls. If it is a strike it was a strike not worth swinging at and you still have two more chances. But Martin grounded back to the pitcher on a low and outside pitch.
Did not like those ABs at all.
