Yu Darvish Update...

[Diaz15]

That's rough. Rangers can't catch a break

[sneaky_flute]

Rangers as a franchise suck

Before their two ws years, they were so bad

Well, most franchises don't have impressive histories.

Choo isn't getting any younger either.

Things are a bit of a mess in Tejas now.

As bad as Hamilton's contract is, he only has 3 years to go on it.

Pujols is truly our only albatross like contract.

Tejas has two of them: Choo and Fielder.

Andrus' is close to being one as well, given his production.

A player who averages like 2 hr a year while batting 260 getting over 100 mil is an albatross for sure.

I feel bad for the guy individually.  Would never want to see anyone injured.  

 

I am fine, however, with any team in our division turning into a doormat.

I share your sentiments.

 Bad contract moves and terrible luck with injuries means they might struggle for a few years.

 

That has a familiar ring to it.

Last season was the first time Darvish missed a start. The Rangers limited him to 29 starts his first season and he started 32 in 2013.

Perhaps I should have phrased it a bit better, there were serious questions about his heavy workload in Japan and how that might effect him. I think you're seeing some of those innings starting to show. Had some nagging injuries last spring and over the course of last season.

Good. I hope he never pitches again. **** every player not on the Angels.

Andrus does make Aybar look like Babe Ruth at the plate.

Albatross!

**** that. Our best sprained his knee while one of our best prospects went under the knife as well. I want to see our team beat the hell out of other teams and if that means beating their B squad then that's the breaks.

 

Baseball is entertainment for me. I don't take any sense of satisfaction from beating up on decimated teams. I prefer seeing matchups which will live in baseball lore for decades. Now if I had some skin in the game, then sure, any win is a great win. I don't feel bad for injured teams because like you said, them are the breaks. But if you give me a choice, I want to see the best vs the best. The 2002 WS was more enjoyable because Bonds was superhuman.

I don't feel sorry for other teams. They won't feel sorry for the Halos when they go down.

@JesseSanchezMLB: Yu Darvish update: MRI on right triceps muscle showed sprained of UCL in right elbow. Discussing Tommy John surgery.

Would be a huge blow

 

Did someone say huge blow?

Whaaaat? Some of my favorite baseball players are non-Angels. Christian Yelich, Jose Fernandez, Matt Harvey, Starling Marte.
