Shoemaker: rib cage injury, will have MRI tomorrow

[T.G.]

I'm going to be on pins and needles until we get the MRI results...

[stormngt]

You don't think that the Angels would somehow win 3 of those games...or the A's lose 3...or some combination?

With our AAA lineup?  It would be a challenge.  Our AAA lineup didn't win that much in Salt Lake City.

most of the triple a talent was up on the big club when they were healthy

Which is the point of a triple a team to begin with

Why was he still out there in the 8th in a blowout. This is where i dont get scioscia. I would have everyone on 6 inning limits especially with expanded rosters

 

i was honestly wondering the same thing.  scioscia doesnt seem to comprehend that it's a long season and it might be a good idea to give your pitchers some extra rest when you're up by 8 damn runs in the 7th inning.

 

we dont have a crappy bullpen anymore. the game was pretty much over with smith and street ready for the last 2 innings, what was the point of stretching him out?  someone please ask the idiot that question.

Yea I would think even with the AAA team the Angels would somehow win 1 game and the A's will lose at least 2 games.

If the game is over why would you use smith and street?

My original comment was in response to a person saying play our AAA players from here on out.  I think you misread what my post was about.  If we played our AAA players from here on out than we would give the A's a chance to come back in when the division.

When is the MRI scheduled to be performed?

 

no one seems to know, though it seems like in most cases like this the results are reported by early afternoon, so I doubt it will be too much longer.

[WallyWorld]

My guess is the MRI isn't going to show anything, but that they're going to be extremely cautious and say he's 'day to day'. Probably push his next start back at least a couple days. In other words, even best case scenario, I don't think we're going to hear today that he's totally fine and will make his next start as scheduled.

HaHaHaHa. I forgot that Scioscia never played pro ball.

[Glen]

HaHaHaHa. I forgot that Scioscia never played pro ball.

 

 

And earlier in the year, if he gave a player a day off because it's a long season, then WTF is he doing because we need to win!

 

Scioscia is the all-white Obama.

Except when scioscia is done, he will be considered when of the best

Except Scioscia hasn't had to deal with an idiotic, backwards-thinking Congress blocking everything possible.

Are you talking about the Senate?

He had to deal with reagins

When the air conditioning load on the grid goes down enough so they can plug in the machine without blowing a fuse.

You can keep your psychiatrist

[fan_since79]

Are you talking about the Senate?

 

Haha, you're so right. Harry Reid is a far more fanatical obstructionist than the leaders of the House. Things will start to move when he's gone.

 

But I suppose this kind of discussion belongs in the political forum.

Separation of powers sucks doesn't it?  Too bad our founding fathers didn't establish a dictatorship when they drafted the Constitution.

[seenoevil]

Shoemaker is a beast

[Angel Oracle]

The movement on his pitches, and his painting the black, is sick, sick, sick.

 

If their was a post-ASB Cy Young award, he'd be in serious running.

72.1 innings: 1.87 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, 62/9 Ks/BBs (Greg Maddux like)

Only Kluber and Sale have had a comparable or better post-ASB.

Awesome little tidbit about Shoey:

 

He lowered his ERA on the season to 3.04 and got his sixteenth win. That is the most wins by a non-drafted pitcher subject to the draft EVER in baseball history in the 48 seasons of a draft.
