It was good to see Pratto have a good weekend, after I suggested Friday a trip to Omaha would probably help him. He looked more confident at the plate and ended up with 7 rbi's. But boy does his defense amaze. That one play he made on that throw from Lynch was simply amazing.
Not related to the weekend but man, I do look at the Angels organization in fear sometimes. They have Trout (HOF), Ohtani, Rendon, and then Ohtani on the mound as an ace. Then I look at the Royals and we can say Salvy, Witt Jr, and Vinny, with Singer on the mound. Great, until you realize the Angles have done nothing with that group and its not guaranteed to work. Just have to focus on Cleveland, and Tampa Bay I guess. Lol.
You think Isbel has figured something out? Still striking out at an almost 30% clip but has a 102 wRC+ in August while walking more with his still excellent defense.
"It was the 16th time they allowed 10 or more runs in a game, which was the most in the majors at the time. It still is, but it was then too." Thank you, Mitch Lesky.
When you see Whit and Benintendi and how they are performing, you can see a change in the dugout and on the field with the new kids. More energy, definitely happy for each other. But I do wonder sometimes about MJ and Bobby. Sometimes they seem somewhat aloof, but all smiles when it comes to the Salvy splash. Just can't put my finger on it, but am so looking forward to the future. Especially when they get a staff that can teach and coach up young pitchers.
I know you like Melendez leading off, but I don't. Not with a .220 average. If he becomes a Kyle Schwarber and hits three times as many homers, then great. But he's not there yet. I kind of like Taylor in that spot. Better average, with some speed, I think is what we need there. Dozier and O'Hearn batting cleanup? No. Trade for MadBum? Have you seen how hard he's getting hit this year? So is Frankie Montas. Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make.
In other news:

"Or maybe they can use that flexibility to take on a big contract in a trade like someone such as Madison Bumgarner to get a better return?"
