That's too bad. What's Green hitting like down in AAA?

[ELEVEN]

Genius! They figured out how to get Green even less at bats.

The pitch may have hit his thumb before ricocheting into his nose.

 

Broken nose, broken thumb?

Mike DiGiovanna @MikeDiGiovanna #Angels OF Collin Cowgill will be out 4-5 weeks. Will have surgery to repair broken nose. Also suffered small fracture in right thumb.

[ELEVEN]

Shite.

Get well soon, Cowgill we'll need you!

Cowgill busted his ass to make himself invaluable as either a 4th outfielder and even a starter and some asshat reliever that couldn't find the plate takes him out. West was a 3rd baseman that couldn't hit, converted to a pitcher that can't pitch and nearly hit Trout that same inning. Thanks a lot Washington, maybe we can send Grant Green out to the mound to plunk a few of your guys in the head.

[Jason]

Wow! Talk about shitty luck. Hope he heals quickly

[Blarg]

This was West's brilliant control yesterday. It reads like someone turned lose in a bean ball war.

 

[Dreams]

West throws a consistent 95mph too.  yikes

You sound a little crazy.

This sucks. Cowgill (aside from having a very solid season) is the only guy I trust to cover CF when trout needs a day off. Glad to see green back though

Get well soon cowgill

Interesting. Where did you get that graph from BTW? Just curious

You can look up any game and any pitcher or batter.

Cool, thanks

[adenhart34]

It's probably a good thing that he has a broken thumb, it means some of the energy was absorbed before the ball hit his face. It could have been worse.

[stormngt]

I guess.this will settle the platoon issue.

I feel real bad for Cowgill. He played his butt off this season and after 5 or 6 weeks he may not be the same.

Could be Scioscia substitutes Green for Cowgill, which may not be a bad thing...Green could be a trade chip...

[2002_halos_II]

That's too bad. Who told him to bunt anyways?!?!

[YouthofToday]

Reason #56,438,439,126 why bunting is mostly a terrible idea.

Don't be stupid with the bunt comment.

[m0nkey]

As stupid as blaming Ron Washington?

That blows. He definitely was a valuable 4th outfielder.

 

At least the Angels have decent depth to replace him temporarily.
