Not signing Chatwood, Lynn or Cobb sure looks dumber than it already did.

Lynn got blasted in his Twins debut. 

Our depth is still pretty good, so I'm not worried YET!

I'm a damn fortune teller.

Lynn is a proven pitcher.  Who cares how he did in one game?

As for depth, its not enough.

Looks like Akeel Morris is a relief pitcher.  Not a starter.

 

 

[GrittyVeterans]

You really have to wonder if the training regimens for our starters isn't up to par at this point. This is getting out of hand

[aznhockeyguy]

So with these injuries, are the Angels going to continue to attempt the 6 man rotation?

[Angels#1Fan]

It's already starting..just crazy.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Our rotation by the end of the year will probably look like Tropeano/Bridwell/Colon/Nolasco/Barria

We have Heaney coming back next week, Bridwell, Barria, Lamb, Tropeano, Morales, Campos and a couple of Sum Yung Gui's in Double-A that I really like. 

I would rather spend that extra $$$ wisely for help if needed closer to the dog days of summer. 

[T.G.]

So... Weaver wasn't there last night just to throw out the first pitch, right?

Or maybe guys like Richards, Shoemaker, Ramirez, and daresay even Ohtani, who all have had varying levels of UCL/forearm issues, should have just gotten TJS when issues came up.

our pitchers are a bunch of pussies... can’t even make one start without hitting the DL. Shoe is ALWAYS hurt 

Yes they are pussies for throwing a baseball harder than 99% of the rest of the population could. #WeAreTheRealPussies

Fair enough. I’m just frustrated right now. So you’re right I am the real pussy lol

Eh, even if they'd gotten TJS they'd just get reinjured and probably require a second TJS (see: Heaney).

You are so incredibly delightful.  I was unaware of Heaney getting a second TJS.

I hope you are right.  This worries me though.

Eh, they all have already broke so I'm not sure what more the Angels can do other than stop relying on them and find other options. Of course, finding suitable replacements for 4-5 starters will take more than one offseason to fix. Only thing the team can do for this season is pray that these guys can stay on the mound. Early returns aren't encouraging with Shoemaker already shelved and Heaney rehabbing from elbow inflammation

Given that the Angels were pretty lucky avoiding injuries pre/early Dipoto, and the spate of injuries the Mariners have had since he joined (even this year) I really wonder if there's something his staff overlooks when acquiring players or fails to prioritize in conditioning/training, and it just simply is rearing it's head during the Eppler years.
