Vaughn's mistake costs us 2 runs. 

defense as a whole on this team is pretty ass.  that stolen base stat is gonna get them rolled in the playoffs

lol, I thought having Kopech pitching automatically meant the opponent doesn't score.

And that's why you pitch to Moreland and not Olson. 

Sometimes Tony’s little musical chairs with lineups and positions lead directly to losses.

Well defense and managing hurt him that inning. He does need to watch that slider though hovering around plate to lefties.

You mean like the last game of every series

Yep. The “giveaway” game

I'm not sure why they doubled up on it. You already stole a strike with one, why throw another and risk it hanging in the zone?

Luis robbed, man....he is good at the hot corner.

This happens the last game of every series.

He wasn't gonna be safe even if he ran hard. Chapman has a rocket for an arm.

Just why pitch to him at all there?  He’s their MVP by far, and Moreland is nothing special.

Well now they need to bring Burr in so Kopech could possibly give you an inning tomorrow.

And you wonder why we've won 3 series since the ASB.

He won’t pitch tomorrow

I think he is the best in baseball at that position at least defensively.

Uppercut swings start, when we're down late.

Abreu with some incredibly lethargic swings today

We've missed a lot of hangers today. 

They don't dare walk Eloy again, do they?

Good job 2-3-4

Overall, not a good series for Jose, but his August has been pretty good overall, so hard to be too disappointed.

No answer
