That’s a tough surgery to recover from.

I predict it will be "successful"

Josh Donaldson got a bad strike called against him, hits a home run on the next pitch, then kicked dirt on the plate after rounding the bases and got kicked out.

You know where you don't see that happen?

That's right, cricket - a gentleman's game.

[Angels in 2030]

Anyone dreaming of Trevor Bauer signing with Angels this offseason better revise their plans.  Based on his recent Comments of what he wants -  well let’s just say it’s pretty much the opposite description of the Angels.

Like Indian curry, like Thai curry even more.

Verlander needs TJS. Most likely won't pitch in 2021.

Verlander BTW, may still end up needing TJS and miss all of next year.

@Lou, would you agree?

Astros OPS+ down to 93.   Last year, 119.   WS year, 123.

Totally weren't cheating last year... 

[Blarg]

Just an off year I'm sure they will bounce back.

[m0nkey]

Homer Bailey is pitching for a playoff team in September 2020. 
 

If anyone can name the team he’s pitching for without looking it up, you’re lying.

Verlander can certainly bounce something

So -- the playoff stretch in the NL right now is pretty entertaining.

Six teams with a legit shot at the four undetermined playoff spots.

Can you guys imagine if Casey Mize was an Angel and performing like this after being the number one pick and top 10 prospect? 

So far in 7 starts he has an 0-3 record with a 6.99 ERA and 1.48 WHIP

LOL!  People would be losing it.

Skubal has been getting hit pretty well too.   Both guys (and Manning), are good bets long term.

On the plud side for them, Spencer Turnbull is finally showing signs of life at age 27.
