I think Rendon will get hot but dude it’s June and he’s got 3 home runs and is batting below .220.  How hot do you think he’s going to get ? 

He's played in 32 of 54 games...he's barely played a month of baseball.

[Blarg]

His bat sure hasn't.

Playing more games, he could be worse...

So what the eff would you do? Bench him? Trade him? What's your point?

[Angels 1961]

His contract would be very hard to move.

Still waiting...

I think we all hope he does but that doesn’t change the fact that he is shitting the bed when needed the most with Trout on the IL

None of that is feasible or going to happen. It’s just very disappointing

Climate change has ruined Bixby Knolls. Weather has been cloudy and cool for weeks now. I miss those 136-degree afternoons.

I'm holding on to he's hurt and is trying to play through it.

It's sad the ways we try to console ourselves as Angel fans.

[AngelStew43]

Between the groin injury and the bruised knee, it should be noted that Rendon has been playing at less than 100 percent.  

Cut the guy some slack, he's obviously staying in there to try to help cover the loss of Trout. 

[Angels 1961]

Good or bad halos stuck with him. Better hope he turns it around as he will be part of rebuild.

i don't think anyone is questioning his motivation to play the game but baseball is a results based business and he isn't producing positive results at this time. He is failing at covering for Trout

Gotta have a sense of humor as an Angels fan.

Just laugh through it.

Also there's always some team worse than the Angels so you can laugh at them, too.

He hit .234 in April, but to be fair was hitting .290 over 8 games before he hurt his groin.  Hit .200 in May and was out 11 days with the knee contusion.  He is hitting .159 since returning from the contusion (18 games).  Defensively he appears fine, but is obviously struggling at the plate and doesn't appear to be getting better.  Might consider giving him a week or so away from the daily grind to heal up the left leg and hitting stroke.  If that qualifies as bench him, then yes.

Staying home for the All-Star break wasn’t a big deal for Rendon, who said he never watched the game growing up. In fact, Rendon said he rarely watches the sport, preferring programs on networks such as the History channel instead.

“I don’t watch baseball — it’s too long and boring,” he said.

 

In addition, Rendon and his family have a rule that they won’t talk about baseball when he visits. It’s clear Rendon, 24, has been able to separate his business from his personal life.

 

Still not worried about him YET but maybe he really just doesn't give a shit now that he's got his fat guaranteed contract. I mean, it would certainly fit with the kind of shit luck the Angels have had as a franchise over the past several years. Still in disbelief that they somehow got Ohtani

Except that the groin injury happened 7.5 weeks ago and the knee injury 4 weeks ago.   How long does it usually take for them to heal?

Bat him lead off and Fletcher one of your better hitters RISP should bat cleanup

The point you seem to always miss is that there is no usual. Every injury is different.

Groin injuries are especially difficult to gauge.

If it isn’t healed then he should be resting it or whatever is necessary to get him healthy
