Somewhat odd update on Trout from Maddon

[ScottM]

I brought up the mental part of Trout/Rendon's injuries last week on here and basically got booed out of the room. There something really weird going on. Trout, according to all the doctors, is fine to be playing baseball. There's a mental break here.

Well, yeah, running the bases is part of it.  And from recent reports, he's stopped doing that. 

Ya but does that kind of thing not being visible preclude a rehab assignment? I doubt it.  

[T.G.]

You gals overreact much?

[Docwaukee]

I can't believe no one has mentioned that it's because he's waiting to be traded.  

[Angel Oracle]

It’s not so much this year.

Is this going to be a recurring theme in future years, when they hopefully are a contending team?

Same thing with Rendon

Its happened many many times where AngelsSpin PR will say its a minor injury and suddenly theres a season ending procedure.   Didnt this just happen with Rendon?   Seems to happen yearly 

With Trout, like all others, we should just understand that we have no idea.

His season could be over

His career could be over

and we would be none the wiser

Something something Canadian

Maybe he wants to focus on his beekeeping hobby

Or we've gone full Detroit Lions and made our best player lose interest in the sport

That actually has a chance of being sad, but true.

[Jay]

Maybe Trout is trying to give Marsh a chance.

The silence surrounding his injury and the timetable for his return is deafening.

late August...September...mid-September???

This is our franchise player and he's been out almost three months for a strained calf muscle, and nobody seems to know what's going on.

 

[Blarg]

I do. He's not ready to resume baseball activities.

It’s disturbing how Maddon is clueless about Trout’s progress. What kind of manager is he?

That does not sound clueless, it sounds more like Maddon does not want to divulge anything.

Well then it’s weird how heys making himself seem clueless.

Trout is kind of a Baldwin, but is Maddon really Clueless?

[Blarg]

Did you just call Trout a Baldoquin?

Has anyone tagged Jeff Fletcher I'm this thread?

[zenmaster]

No point in coming back this year at this stage. We all know it's coming so let's just get the announcement over with.

Well said.

Taylor already suffering from sleep deprivation.

Strategically finding windows of sleep in 1.5 to 2 hour (at most) increments makes Taylor an erratic boy.

Shut him down and let the tank begin.

The tank began for this team around mid April.

 

No offense, @Tank.

Yeah, that brings back memories. Our first born slept no more than two hours at a time and nearly killed the both of us. I worked night shift, Carol worked day shift and the little hellion once he became mobile was a handful. I fell asleep one day on the couch while he was in his walker and he managed to tip over everything in the wall unit at his level, spread the LA Times all through the house, and dumped the cat food and water. Good times.

Referring to one's self in the third person is a warning sign of bad things to come.

Ya know, except that he wants to... and his teammates want him to... and despite the nonsense on this board... most fans want him to.
