Griffin Canning getting an MRI on his elbow

[kevinb]

Injuries happen to every team (see Yankees) it is not bad luck, it happens. We don't even know the extent of the injury yet. Stop jumping to conclusions.

Haha, the ironic truth.

It's like Blanton never got hurt as he was losing all those games.

I wanted the Stripling trade to go through but he missed five weeks last year and four weeks in 2018.  So while he would have been nice to add as a piece he is not an example of health.  

None of the Angels arms are either. Just adding quality(for however many innings he provides) was worth it considering the alternatives here. Give me 100 innings of Stripling's production over whatever the Angels are stuck with right now if Canning is out for any extended time.

In your culture does that help fight against injuries?

[Blarg]

Calloway ruined him.

Less chance of getting aids than having sex with the local women.

We sure could use a J. Happ right now.

Pass. Funnily enough though, the Yankees certainly need him right now after losing Severino for the year and Paxton for who knows how long

As sad as it is, at this point, the angels just need to not rely on any pitcher that has an injury history. Get other pitchers because you know pitchers like Heaney and canning are gonna die.

[Lazorko Saves]

Ugh.  But now I'm beginning to warm up to the idea that Billy's plan of "F it, we'll just outscore everyone 10-8 every night" was the right one.

Please no "Rendon gets elbow discomfort" jokes, tho.

[Duren, Duren]

As they say in politics "never let a crisis go to waste." 

Next man up. 

Opportunity for someone to fill this vacancy and emerge as a positive  surprise.

These things happen all the time. One man's injury is someone else's big chance.

Wally Pipp/Lou Gehrig.

Back in Angel land it's still early spring training. Time for internal competition or trades. Not going to speculate on who will emerge because it could be anyone.

we're just f'ing cursed, time for the angels to think outside the box.  

[eligrba]

Gee, I am not sure what this means.  Is this bad?

Do you have a split personality by chance?

No. There's no bad luck. It is an entirely new staff. The Angels are probably just being extra cautious. I don't think this is time to panic. All teams have injuries. Yankees just had a couple. I think the Angels got this, each player is unique and is an entirely new case. Wait till the results to come back then people can freak out or be relaxed. Eppler built a deep rotation, got some guys who can pitch a lot of innings. If Canning is down for a long time, then it's the next man up. In Eppler we trust.

Los Angeles TJSurgeries, the new team name

It's inevitable.

If they actually moved the team to TJ would wouldn’t have to pay attention to this team falling off the train tracks every year.

the TJ TJ’s.

MRI will turn up clean and he’ll finish second in cy Young voting
