.725 is comfortably above league average this year due to the run environment, but tonight was the poster child for bad sequencing. We had plenty of base runners but not great approaches to drive them in. The early sac bunt could have led to a run or two but no execution in the 8/9 spot.

have to admire Bregman's consistency (or stubbornness)...

he's come out of the break with 0 walks in 16 plate appearances

and going back to July 6th...

Bregman has 1 walk in his last 49 plate appearances

He's also on pace for 94 strikeouts this year which is a career high.

another mildly concerning hidden stat...

in the last 11 games...Altuve -- the leadoff hitter -- has only reached 5 plate appearances one time

in the extra-inning loss to the Rangers

the bottom half of the order is not turning over the lineup so to speak

get busy Dana

Thank you Angels, very helpful.

We gotta stop relying on other teams to do what we should be doing ourselves.

Hey sometimes it happens. A's have won 39 other times before tonight. Rockies beat Red Sox tonight. Angels may beat Ms. This is why baseball can eat at you. But it's so much fun too. Long season. Happy to see what they've been able to do after April. Now if they just finish the Diaz experiment this week…

It would be easier to take if the Astros had bothered to show up. This is a bigger problem than this game, they have way too big of a habit of losing focus

You're completely correct, but also, there's nothing fun about the complete and total uncompetitive, listless no-shows. And way too many of this team's losses are of that variety.

Oh, I agree. This game freaking sucked. To leave so many men on base felt deflating.

bad news for the M's. They lose their lead off hitter.

Hadn't seen it posted but according to quick google x-rays on JROD's ankle came back clean. He was out of the lineup today but Servais said they hope to have him back soon. Glad to see it wasn't more serious.

If this statement was from the Astros FO I'd expect him to have career ending knee surgery by Thursday

Aledmys Diaz is a byproduct of the farm having no mlb ready 1B. We have an abundance of OF, but no one at 1st. Is it so hard to find someone to play the position?

Singleton has been fine, but if he needs a day off or a platoon we have no good options.

Manager can't write a lineup with the last 3 names being Dubon, A. Diaz, and McCormick, and then tell the players they need that killer instinct.

We're going to get swept by the A's, aren't we

I get not making a deal until leverage is maximized (for sellers), but it has been damn near malfeasance from the front office to roll with Arrighetti as part of a four-man rotation for the length of time that it has been. He had a great game, and the team went on a roll, but you're losing ground to what could have been every single day by having to rely on relievers and pushing pitch counts for players not accustomed to this load. The team needed two starters the minute Verlander went down.

Goodness.. you would think this team has lost 10 straight from reading the board this morning.

Never change fellas.

We just can't have 2 players with the same last name.

Just not a fan of last night's right hand heavy lineup against a guy who has reverse splits, both in the majors and AAA. I would have kept Chas and Diaz on bench in favor of two lefties.

I would be really, really surprised if they make a splash like that.

I'm not sure what meets his definition. Would a Lamonte Wade going to cost that much?

1.5 years of a guy with a 149 currently and 130 over the last 743 PA who only cost probably around 10 M over 2 seasons? Yes, he will be very pricey.
