Shit.  I was hoping he’d have a good year.

He'll give up fewer runs than he did last year.

I looked up "setback" in the dictionary and one of the definitions was "an annual occurrence affecting injured players, especially pitchers, on the Angels baseball team roster."

Oh no, how will we replace his 5.50 ERA?

[totdprods]

Wanted to trade him a couple years back as part of someone more proven. Oh well.

Haha

Why do some people still have hope for this guy?

Probably with someone with a 5.51 ERA

Probably because he was above league average in years one and two. And he’s started about 40 or so games in the majors. So giving up on him is premature

Angels Baseball is back!

Which begs the question, is it better to give up too soon or too late?

That's what the A's do. They just unloaded Matt Chapman, a career .240 hitter, for 3 pitchers and an infielder. They get rid of their average for a chance at better, we dont.

Lol @ calling Matt Chapman "average".

I literally didn’t know who was even being discussed because of that reason.
