Didn't look good. In comes Arrieta, Lynn, or Cobb?  As much as I dislike Seattle, I hate to see one of the games best get hurt before the season starts. Extent of injury TBD.

"in obvious pain after being struck in the right elbow"

That is not good.

 

[Second Base]

Exactly. I want our guys to be the best, and the way that happens is playing against the best. Hernandez is one of the best.

I hope Verlander gets hit next

Looks like Felix avoided major injury - just a bad contusion and is day to day.

Still have to think he'll be out for a week or two though, and seeing as how it was his first or second spring inning, he'll still need to get some work in and stretch out, so he may not be ready opening day.

That was a brutal shot.  I'm glad nothing got broken or any major damage, but damn that had to be painful.

I know that Hernandez was hit by a line drive while he was pitching, and that’s a situation that no pitcher has control over. But what about a pitcher when he takes his turn at bat, as in the National League. Or in the case of the Angels, when Ohtani bats.

Ohtani bats left-handed which exposes his right pitching arm to the pitcher. It’s been speculated that Ohtani will be pitched inside a lot this year which could result in his being HBP in the right arm several times. If he’s hit in the right elbow, or sustains a severe bruise to his pitching arm, he may not be able to finish pitching the game. Or possibly be out for an even longer period of time. Is this something that Ohtani, or the Angels should be concerned about?

He wears three different pieces of body armor on his hand, elbow, and lower leg while he bats and then he was wearing some foofy looking glove when he got on base....  So it's not like they aren't trying to shield him from getting dinged.

If it helps prevent injuries, perhaps Trout should wear foofy-looking gloves when he gets on base.

They need to make Trout sized Foofy-wrap.

[Tank]

He won't hit on days he pitches unless it's in NL park.

Trout does wear a glove when on base to prevent another injury when sliding.

Not that it bothers me but how did you get someone else's comments to appear as if I had said them?   Lol.... Was reading your response and wondering ....when did I say any of that...  Had me thinking I was suffering from some odd memory loss

Felix gets hit by a line drive on his throwing arm: day to day.

An Angels SP sneezes: Tommy John.
