Thanks for posting, @Dollar Bill. Great article on Shoe.

Does the LA Times have an RSS feed for Angels news? If so I'd like to plug it in on the back end so they can feed into our forum here like I have the Angels MLB site & the OC Register.

That was a very well done piece.

I really enjoy Pedro Moura's work. That was a good piece.

I think some here are underestimating how difficult returning from serious brain surgery would be, as well as the potential for it to not be a smooth ride along the way. Hopefully he'll come back and pick up where he left off because that would be pretty damn remarkable.

Nice article. 2 things. I like the fact pujols has become the older, good teammate guy with younger players. And its impossible not to pull for shoe.

Seriously, if base coaches and runners and batters are wearing helmets. it makes a lot of sense for a pitcher to wear one, too. They are probably more vulnerable than a runner or coach, given the exit velocity at 60'6" AND the short reaction time.

Shoe has been by favorite Angel pitcher since 2014. When he's ON, he's better than GR.

Great article. So glad he got his contract prior to the accident. That is one guy that has more than paid his dues and deserves every good thing that comes his way. Without a doubt my favorite Halos pitcher over the last few seasons. Hope he can return to form.

i'd think any of the underestimations would fall to the wayside of any reasonable person once they saw the surgical scar running up along his head. if that's not a huge helping of reality, then nothing will be.
