Bright side of covid 19

1.  The loss of the season give Angel fans one less season of watching Pujols

2.  Dodgers traded a boatload for Mookie Betts and the season maybe wasted.

3.  Garret Richard's is a free agent again.  And has not pitched an inning since he was an angel.

4.  Angel's will not lose a starter to TJ surgery.  Is this the first time since 2013?

Garret Richards pitched 8 innings last year.

But your point is valid, in that he hasn’t pitched much at all during his time away.

Chris Sale proved this is not necessarily true

Yay we get to see all of those nauseating final ballpark tours with the pregame gift presentations. 

[Stradling]

No one forces any of us to watch any of it.  If it’s nauseating do something else.  Problem solved.

Trout would have posted a .345/.457/.710 slash line in 580 with 55 home runs and 140 RBI's this season. I'm angry. (Bleep) this!

5.  The environment is getting better.

You are presuming that workouts go as planned.

Fuck bright sides. With all due respect.

Speaking of injuries:

Rangers' James Jones tears patellar tendon tripping on son's toy

Texas Rangers minor leaguer James Jones is proving that even social distancing can be hazardous.

The left-hander suffered a torn patellar tendon in his right knee Monday after tripping on his son's toy, according to TR Sullivan of MLB.com.

Jones underwent surgery Wednesday. The injury is expected to sideline him for the entire 2020 season if and when it begins, Sullivan adds.

 

The 31-year-old Jones converted to a full-time pitcher in 2017 after failing to make it as an outfielder with the Seattle Mariners. Across two minor-league levels last year, he authored a 2.67 ERA in 64 innings.

Reading between the lines, I think Jones stepped on a Lego.

Coincidentally, there's a new show called Lego Masters.

well, if you're going to have season-ending surgery, this is probably the year to do so.

Give it some more time. Canning just started throwing again.

Pujols getting all this extra time off means he should be coming to camp in 2021 in the Double Secret BSOHL.
