Who cares, I'm not counting on him anyways

What's taking him so long, F'ing Dipoto

Burnett to make minor league rehab appearance

Who cares, I'm not counting on him. F'ing Angels.

Burnett pitches in minor league game

I stopped caring long ago about this guy (despite the fact that I am constantly in this thread)

Burnett pitches in minor league rehab game

He doesn't care because he can still sign his checks

Eventually it will end like this:

Burnett pitches perfect 6th inning for Amgels in his 2014 debut

Yea well the Angels are stupid for not bringing him up sooner

I sitll don't know who this guy is but it's good to hear he's about to essentially get his ST started.   I personally don't care if he takes his own sweet time getting ready and isn't back til just before the ASB, so long as he's back healthy and capable of throwing as he had in the past.

 

Just for giggles it would be awesome to see this guy make his season debut wearing a Lone Ranger mask.

I just want the guy healthy. If he is healthy two months from now, he can be very good. If not then oh well he's done. We've played without him this long.

[arch stanton]

Part of the payback for surviving last season may very well be an effective reliever coming seemingly out of nowhere without costing any trade chips. It's like finding a twenty in your jacket pocket after you haven't worn it since last year at this time.

[Angel Oracle]

I get all of that.

It's simply comical how many times he has been close to a rehab assignment, only to take a step or 3 backwards.

And this coming on the heels of Madsen being TWO years into TJ surgery recovery and STILL not pitching.

But that is the Halos history in a nutshell.

What org has been as snakebit as this one????

[fan_since79]

They should bring him in to face only one batter at a time, a pure lefty specialist. If you pitch him every third or fourth day and set a limit of 10 pitches, his arm will probably not fall off.

[wopphil]

I am just not convinced he is perfectly healthy. I get the sense this is more of a situation where they are throwing him out there because he has reached maximum improvement, even though he doesn't look/feel as good as he should.

[HaloMagic]

I have it on good authority that he's actually quite capable of throwing 11 pitches if needed. So that's good.

Better than half of Jepsen's appearances.

[Stradling]

I don't care about the result I care about how he feels tomorrow. He is talented if healthy.

Exactly. I think the most important thing to take away from his outing was that he actually pitched.

or dressed like a mummy

[Docwaukee]

0.2ip 4h 3er 1bb 1k.  he's ready. 

[Homebrewer]

0.2ip 4h 3er 1bb 1k.  he's ready. 

What's important is how far he went beyond 11 pitches. If he got up to 15 or 20, who knows?

 

 

He could be back by..... late July.

I'm amazed they let him throw 23 pitches, with all his fragility and everything.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@JeffFletcherOCR: #Angels LHP Sean Burnett pitched a scoreless inning, allowing 1H, 1BB, in 2d rehab gm at AA. Expected to 3-4 weeks.
