[Angel Oracle]

Cy Burke, of course 

Four runs the last 19 innings against THAT pitching staff, of course

Hate that ballpark, good riddance!

Why? If he isn't healthy he shouldn't be playing. If he is playing then he is healthy and shouldn't be given a pass. 

Yea, we could have Jarrett Parker up right now killing it for us.

Cy will someday tell his grandchildren about this night. He hit the jackpot, making his debut against the Angels offense.

What does that have to do with giving Justin Upton a pass or not?

Well if he shouldn’t be playing then we would have Parker playing.  That is what it has to do with what you posted.

Not really. Someone said Upton should be given a pass for this season. I asked why? But I guess Parker playing is a perfect response....I am going to bed goodnight and thanks for the convo.

No, this is a message board and you have to stay up till 2 am arguing about a useless topic, and not stop until you get the last word!

Giving him a pass was maybe a poor way to put it but I do think you have to cut him some slack since he missed a good chunk of the season....if he stinks it up next year, then what we're seeing this year is an indicator that he is regressing....if he returns to form next year, then the injury maybe was a factor in this season....

He has an .888 ops for the month of August. Looks like he is getting back to form.
