That was a good effort, split with the A’ss, lose the rest and its a successful season… in a twisted, tankful way.

Pirates score six in the seventh! Now up eight with six outs to go.

Looks like the Halos are still looking Tankathonic whatever the result!

1-2-3 8th? Lead into the 9th? WTF?!

YES! That should help his DWAR

Through seven, Angels are up one and Pirates are up three. Neither team is playing lowball very effectively today.

So why don’t Angels have ‘fan’ cutouts at the stadium. Gotta say I think it’s fun. Adds a lot of character. Not sure why Angels haven’t done it.

Probably was like a 50k operational cost that Arte couldn’t stomach.

I actually thought Arte didn’t want to impact the ‘Lexus’ logo on the seats. Whatever the reason it’s too bad because it’s a fun way to raise money for charity. I also like the section of former A’s players. Would be great to have a section of cutouts with the whole 2002 team and Vladdy and Nolan Ryan, Frank Tanana etc.

I guess if it’s not advertising, Arte isn’t interested.

Just looked up the Oakland lineup today. 7 guys over WRC+ of 100 with 4 of them well over that mark. Only Semien is lower (65 WRC+) and Allen their catcher.

That’s why Oakland’s offense is so consistent and has continuity.

Up by one and we are into the pen, what possibly could go wrong. Go Angels!

Cue the “I have a bad feeling about this” line from the Star Wars saga
