Already SEVEN DL visits in April alone

[Angel Oracle]

When is this crap going to stop?

[LaBargedad]

Never! Bad things always happen to losers!

[Brandon]

The Lakers of baseball.

[Biergott]

Yankees currently have 9 on the DL and have a winning record.  Just saying.

I am starting to get a Roger Lodge-type vibe that injuries are going to be the 2013 excuse.

[jsnpritchett]

Every team goes through DL stretches like this.  We have a crappy bench and a bad upper-level minor league system: that's what's hurting us more.  The replacements are awful.

[JAHV76]

The team needs to eat more bananas.

[Fontana Halo]

Don't worry. Once they're all back then the Angels will start winning.

[Mark68]

When is this crap going to stop?

When everybody has a turn.

So is this the excuse we're going with if they don't make the playoffs?

Well it's probably the excuse Rodger Lodge is going with, if nothing else.

[The God of Runs]

Ooo ooo ooo ah ah ah

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that this team still sucks with a healthy Weaver (who wasn't exactly dominating when he went on the DL). Lucho has done well in place of Callaspo. Romine and Harris have done decently in place off Aybar. The pen could definitely use Madson and Burnett but I doubt they make THAT much of a difference.

The injuries haven't helped, but Trout, Hamilton, Blanton, Kendrick, Iannetta, Frieri, and Downs all sucking ass hasn't helped even more.

Injuries run in cycles, they were definitely not the issue last year. Probably the healthiest year this team has had since I began following them in '78.

Burnett instead of Roth last night would have been nice.

Burnett is currently hurt, again.

[axalar]

Burnett is currently hurt, again.

 

I was referring to this line in the quote: The pen could definitely use Madson and Burnett but I doubt they make THAT much of a difference.

 

If he wasn't hurt, I think he would have made a big difference in last night's game.

[Glen]

At this point I think it's safe to assume Madson won't throw a pitch as an Angel.
