What a world class whiffer that Sanchez is

Sounded like he wasn't being held at first, so I assume they're trying to stay out of the DP. Perhaps it's on Rengifo for not taking the first pitch to let Ohtani steal if they are giving it to him. 

Looked to me like he was stealing also. He also didn't touch second base on his way back to first, so there would have been a DP no matter what.

[USAFChief]

How does Buxton miss that 2-0 pitch?

[Aggies7]

For the love of GOD can someone advance a runner

Ohtani completely screwed that up, no reason to advance to 2B. They win if he just stands at 1B.

I think he was going to second on defensive indifference to stay out of a DP.

Practice.

He is getting really good at it

[Aggies7]

Pathetic offense.

[RickOShea]

Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

[USAFChief]

Well ****

[mnfireman]

And again I believe we see how much Buxton's knee is hurting, in the past I don't think the 3B has time to look the runner back AND get Buxton at first....

At what point do you blame the Manager and Hitting coach?

How ironic, considering the night Kepler has had at the plate, he starts the 10th on 2nd base.  Only in baseball...................

Not so ironically, also ENDS the inning on 2nd base.

20 innings, 7 runs this series.

[Montdak]

Oh Pagan will mow ‘em down like he did last inning. ha

[USAFChief]

Oh for the evening with RISP.

By not swinging at the first two pitches.

[Aggies7]

Boy that was close

[mnfireman]

Angels announcers wondering if that ball hit off of Ursela's glove....

Shocking

[mnfireman]

Pulls Bundy early, leaves Pagan in.....

[AussieG]

Ok well that's not good

[Aggies7]

Pagan just can’t help himself 

[wabene]

Tough pill

[USAFChief]

Just a brutal loss. Awful.

If Gordon doesn't dive...

[garn from vancouver]

seriously? again? pagan?

[9moons27]

What a bunch of chokers!

[Parfigliano]

Pathetic

[Danchat]

The bats are to blame here, but how have we not reached the point where Pagan is canned? He’s been a garbage tier reliever for 3 years now and we can’t coach these guys up. Time to throw in the towel.
