The A's tanked because:
1) their offense had overachieved a bit to that point
2) they traded a middle of the order bat
3) moss got hurt and slumped in the second half
4) Donaldson was not as good, either

Basically, they had three legit middle order hitters early, and 1.5 late. The offense collapsed a bit as a result.
