See you in 2021 Shoe, after the plasma injection fails, Tommy John surgery, and a season of "setbacks".

I think we know how this story ends. Of course Shoemaker will downplay it as nothing to worry about.

I've seen this episode so much I know all the lines by heart.

hopefully it's not serious.

He's just dehydrated, he'll miss one start and that's it.

This is what Heaney said and he had to have TJ surgery.

However, Weaver had this problem a couple of times, missed a month each time, then came back just fine.

Don't forget the "outstanding bullpen session". There's always one of those to get our hopes up.

Since Shoemake may be out, we don't have to worry about who gets demoted from the rotation.

Fister just slides right in.............

There is absolutely zero doubt in my mind that this is anything other than TJ surgery, possibly 2 of them before he throws another pitch.

After calling his insurance agent to buy more coverage on his arm.

Crazy how we go two seasons in a row without a pitching staff.

Silver lining is anything that happens to the Angel pitching staff that helps convince the owner and then GM that they need an elite starter is fine with me.

doesn't that usually result in your own forearm tightness?

I don't masturbate to Angels injuries. Except when Hamilton was out.

This is simply dumb logic, but ok.  I would think the more healthy options you have would give you a better chance at acquiring an ace.

There are 0 aces available.
