@JeffFletcherOCR: #Angels Josh Hamilton said he feels much better, and is able to "let it go" swinging and throwing. Coudn't have sent out Shuck otherwise.

@JeffFletcherOCR: #Angels Joe Thatcher is alive and well, even though hasn't pitched since 7/21. Scioscia said situations just haven't come up.

Lol

@JeffFletcherOCR: #Angels Tyler Skaggs was to be checked by Rays doctor tonight. No word yet. MRI had been checked by a doctor, but not a team doctor.

@JeffFletcherOCR: #Angels Collin Cowgill is days away from returning from the DL. He broke his nose and thumb just before the All-Star break.

@JeffFletcherOCR: #Angels CJ Wilson will not be on a pitch count but the leash will be a shorter than his normal 115-ish, Scioscia said. Guessing 95-105ish

Guess we haven't had too many blow outs lately.

Lets just hope CJ makes it to around 100 pitches.

[Sherlock31]

Good, no DL for Josh.

[Sherlock31]

Probably in the 4th inning.

The last thing Hamilton needs is to "let it go" swinging. That's the heart of his problem. He lets it go on way too many horrible pitches.

 

He needs a disciplined eye for the strike zone. Simple as that.

Crap, you have a point.

Josh? LOL!

 

If Josh and Aybar and Kendrick have that Disciplined Eye...................I can't image how good of hitter they can be.

 

We can only wish.....................

I made this in honor of CJ's return...

 

[papawealey]

Catcher saying "Don't do that again."

[laagamer]

Hip issue?
 

Brain issue more like it. 

[Waybackman]

Can't imagine CJ having a remarkable comeback. Hope I'm wrong, but I think he's a liability to this club.

[bloodbrother]

Looks like the same CJ to me

 

2 quick outs, then gives up the walk and now some runs

[Waybackman]

Obligatory 2-out walk. Wonder how many runs they'll score.

[Angelsfirst]

Boo CJ!!!

[Reveille1984]

CJ gonna CJ

[HeavenlyHalos]

2 out CJ is back.

[jshep]

2 outs!

[nando714]

Welcome back CJ

We didn't miss you

[Lou]

first 3 batters = 17 pitches.

They each only swung at one pitch.

Put him back on the DL. Better yet, send him to Ukraine
