Elbow Inflammation for Canning. 

No, please tell me this is not happening.

start a thread and tell is what he should have done.  

Obviously he should have filled the 40 man roster with MLB capable players.  You know, so the Angels have enough depth to make out the 25 man roster.

Probably should have added about 15 more MLB capable players at the deadline too, to support the second half of the season. :sarcasmon:

Who else is prepping for their Angels tryout?  We have to be getting close to a call.

The good news is we have plenty of ammo for a playoff run. 

Yes, if they were to add four more wild cards in the AL.

They say his UCL is fine.  Which probably means they need to amputate it.

Pena's injury exemplifies this season. Stepping on a base and suffering a major injury - i.e., the most innocuous of moves having the most severe consequence.

Prospective Angels pitchers, please report for your physical and referral for Tommy John surgery. 

[Stradling]

So no structural damage for Canning?  So Doc what could cause that swelling?

Same thing that happened to G Rich, albeit different kind of knee injury.

[tdawg87]

So does Cole get TJ surgery the day after we sign him or does he at least wait until April?

[m0nkey]

F*ck it, bring back Matt Harvey

[jsnpritchett]

 

[Chris]

Trade for Puello and teach him to pitch.

[tdawg87]

At what point do the team surgeons start feeling elbow inflammation?

[eligrba]

I guess the goal of having pitchers with some durability was not met.

I can't wait to see what happens next. 

[Angel Oracle]

Name ONE team that has gone through what the Halos have gone through this season????

I guess the man upstairs wants that top 10 pick for the Halos in 2020.

Will this team EVER EVER again have even a relatively healthy season??????????!

Shouldn't you be criticizing Trout for wanting to stay?

He’s built everything except a rotation.    Blame Reagins and Dumbpoto for the sh_tstorm they created. 

[Billy_Ball]

Pena is out for the year.

He should be fired because he hasn’t been able to build a roster that is immune to injury.

Fortunately, we have some good pitching in Salt Lake to help us out here.

It's no longer bad luck when it happens every single year. There needs be a contingency plan in place. If that takes spending 75 mil in one offseason on starting pitching because everyone will suck or get injured then what's what the GM needs to do.

 

The alternative is to just give up which is what's happening as it is and may be the more likely solution. Just accept our eternal fate as a 78 win team and live with it. 

[Stradling]

Just start Cahill, if he gets hurt so be it.  I am guessing when we looked at rotation depth to start the year we maybe hoped that we would get a spot start from guys like Suarez or Peters.  Now they are our #1 and #2.  We have Sandoval throwing some innings starting tomorrow.  Just pitch Cahill 8 innings every fifth day.
