Somewhat odd update on Trout from Maddon

I would like to elaborate on what Joe Madden was talking about. IT'S Mike Trout's ego that is really hurt not his calf. We all remember how 24 hours a day it was Mike Trout greatest baseball player ever, and then here came a healthy Shohei Ohtani, and now its been 24 hours a day Ohtani talk. Mike Trout's ego wont let him come back with the fear of being shown up by Shohei. This really worries me for the long term, and should worry the Angel's brass as well !! Mike trout needs to accept the fact that Ohtani is more valuble than himself, as soon as he comes to that realization the better off he and the Angel's will be moving forward !!!!!!!!

By some fluke in his contract, Mike Trout is now under the conservatorship of James P. Spears. #FreeMikeTrout

This made me lol.

If he's not finished his rehab stint by Sept 1st I'd shut him down. Especially if we're still 8+ games out of the 2nd WC.

Just forget it. Figure out what the true extent of his injury is and if the docs etc can really do anything to get him back into playing condition. If this is permanent then we're in uncharted waters. The irony is he might be perfectly healthy by next spring but there's a long strike due to labor discord.

I was talking to a friend yesterday who's a doctor (internist) about Trout. He said if it's a serious strain then 3 months is not uncommon. But he hoped that Trout is also getting a complete workup including blood tests. Other possible reasons for the unusually long recovery time can include myeloma and even bone cancer. Things should be ruled out and he hoped they were working on that. Again, neither one of us is privy to what they're doing. 

Hope we get some kind of statement soon instead of all this mystery.

Bone cancer? Your use of hyperbole is well done

Possible but rare, according to my doctor friend. Not my hyperbole.

I'm sure Trout's been thoroughly checked out by our crack medical staff. Right?

I believe his injury is a soft tissue one and those can linger and be a constant problem for athletes. I don’t think there’s anything out of the ordinary going on but yeah, it would be nice for the team to show some transparency

Now that I've seen the Trout is jealous of Ohtani, has an Achilles injury, has bone cancer, theories I've grown to miss those ever so charming "Mike Trout is a pu$$y" stories.

He a mess, no doubt about it.  Are we sure it’s not mononucleosis?

Nope, could be AIDS too

Is the medical staff CERTAIN that it’s a grade 2 calf strain????

And thus, no surgery needed????

If so, grade2 calf strains don’t linger on for up to 6 months, correct?

I hope we aren’t treading into Pujols territory here?

I'm glad you're asking us.  Once again, we're the ones best equipped to answer.

I was looking forward to the next few years as Trout reached his peak and his numbers became even more spectacular, followed by a productive five or six years as he rounded out his wonderful Hall of Fame career.

Now I wonder if we'll ever see him play baseball again. At least that's what it feels like. He just up and disappeared it seems. Jog towards the dugout, pull a muscle, and that's the end of it...

it's like seeing a travel brochure that says "come to bixby knolls and enjoy the beach!" then once you get there you realize the average daily temperature is hotter than the surface of the sun, but hey, at least you're close to long beach.
