Cory Rasmus has been placed on DL with strained right groin

[Chuck]

Another one bites the dust..

So many injuries so far this season. Ugh! 

[Jason]

This dude are not in good shape

The Angels have more groin injuries than Ron Jeremy

Or pelvic injuries to the women that Ron's been with.

True. Good thing there hasn't been some virus issues with the team

[Second Base]

Like a radio station at 4:00 PM, the hits just keep on coming. 

[fanfromday1]

I am beginning to seriously doubt the capabilities of our trainers. Some of these injuries seem to be something that may have been preventable. And why are so many of our pitchers facing surgery?

[Ray McKigney]

I thought this thread was a joke at first. Geez. How are this many injuries even possible? The shuffleboard team at the local old folks' home has healthier players.

[totdprods]

This might have been done so they could open a spot for Cotts. Gentry's DL stint came abruptly and conveniently on the same day as Shane Robinson's opt out as well.

A bullpen with all three of Alvarez, Mahle, and Cotts would be extremely lefty-heavy though, and with how awful the starting pitching has been, there's not a lot of length with Rasmus out. Bringing Achter back would make more sense.

Met Ron Jeremy back in 2002 at a screening of his documentary, got an autograph, shook his hand, nice dude, funny...but I still shudder when I look at my hand and think about it!

I guess bananas are not a regular item at the buffet table?

Seriously baseball players are some of the most out of shape professional athletes. How is stretching eating right and staying in peak condition this hard for guys who have if not the highest avg salary one of the top 2 average salaries in all of professional sports. My goodness.

Our DL is definitely better than our starting lineup now. This puts it over the edge. We now have a long relief guy on there. WTF man. These out of shape mother fuckers need to start ST in January.

January? Hell they are being paid huge money to keep their bodies in the best physical shape. Panda showed up the size of an Elephant to spring training, and the dude thought he could just show up and play. Couldn't even fit into his pants. Contracts should definitely not be guaranteed.

Probably because injuries happen to people that are in good shape as well.  When Trout had his hamstring issues did we think it was because he wasn't working hard enough?  Pulls and strains can happen to anyone.

Strad, using Trout is a poor example considering he's played 159, 157, and 157 games the last 3 years.

 

If I were paid millions I would spend all my spare time trying to cut my body fat down to look like the terminator.

[Stradling]

I don't think the terminator has fat, he's basically metal.

If you were paid millions you wouldn't do anything different than you do right now.  Unless you are saying you don't really give your all to the job you have.

Looking at the Angels site.  I count 9 people on the 15 or 60 day DL.  We've pretty much lost 8 of 25 from our roster.  That's not good, unless you are a polyana, and it's rainbows and unicorns still.

The job I have isn't based on physical activity.

I'd like to think I would have the respect for my employer do everything in my power to stay at my absolute physical best if I were one of the highest paid professionals in the world, when it involves high physical activity every day.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Of course, being in great shape isn't just to the benefit of your employer but to yourself. But that goes without saying.

[mtangelsfan]

Point is you don't know if they do or don't.  The best conditioned athletes in the world still get injuries.

The idea that they must not be in the best shape because they got injured is a huge leap of logic.
