Richards seriously injures knee

[Brandon]

He can't even stand up and needs a cart to get off the field.

Obviously hope it's a sprain or something mild, but this is not good at all. Especially how he went down.

****. I'm pretty sure the ace just went down for a long time.

[RePLAY]

fck..im at work..how bad is it?

[Stradling]

Yep, god damn it

[fan_since79]

He needs to get to a hospital right away. I'm worried about shock right now with all the pain he's having.

[fan_since79]

REAL bad. Knee's blown out.

 

And he's in an awful lot of pain. They're taking him off on a stretcher.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

My worst fear. realized today.

[bloodbrother]

You can be as optimistic as you want, but I don't see how his season isn't over. Dude was in agony and the replays were not good. I'm just hoping that this isnt' something that causes him to miss some time at the start of next season

 

This sucks so much. Dude finally blossoming into an ace and then has his season go down like this.

[laagamer]

I'm unable to watch this. 

 

I need to change the channel. 

[Streetkid]

What happened??

[laagamer]

This was our year. 

 

Not anymore. 

[MVTrout]

Fuuuuuuuck!

[rageous]

So who's next in line as the starter?

[fan_since79]

What happened??

 

Injured his knee badly while fielding a play at fist base.

[Tyler]

I feel sick. This sucks. Breakout year for the guy. Awful way to end it.

[MVTrout]

Crushed!

[SigBaby]

We don't need another starter

 

Thank god its not an arm injury like I thought he would sustain, but anyone who was thinking Richards would make it through well over 200 innings was an idiot

Running to cover first, looked to kind of slip, and in the process of going down his just bent in a way it shouldn't have.

 

Just ugly.

[GalericX]

This is devastating. Severe knee injury... just great. Skaggs now him. I feel for him and the Angels.

[RePLAY]

Who the heck is gonna replace Richards in the rotation?!

[Corona]

The worst part about this is now we have to seriously rely on cj to man up.

[SigBaby]

So who's next in line as the starter?

 

Bartolo

That's a stupid ass statement. He could have blown out his knee in inning one. This injury has nothing to do with work load.

[fan_since79]

So who's next in line as the starter?

 

Kevin Jepsen, 53 minor-league starts.

 

But that was in single A.

Then call me an idiot. 

 

The kid was a beast.
