[Slegnaac]

In a season that has been so improbable the obvious has happened again.

 

Sorry Vin.

Like a raffle but Rendon bought a shit load of tickets for the injury one.

If injuries are truly random then Rendon is operating at like 15 standard deviations from the mean

What happened to cause the injury?  I can’t watch the game 

Rendon fouled a ball off his knee

Rendon hurt again you can’t make this stuff up.. @Stradlingpreparing his straw man take on how injuries are random and “flukes”. Seems like it keeps happening to the same people.

Yea that’s what I’m doing. I just think you guys are pathetic.  If that’s a straw man then so be it.

Good Lord Moose is slow….

Fouled a ball off of the inside of his knee...or shin.

I took the 3 week under with this dude in another thread.

Moustakas needs to be careful taking that last big step running to first.  He could've fractured a pelvis.

If they were the same age at the same time, would Edwardo Escobar beat Felix Torres in a footrace?

“No it’s not random. He doesn’t want to play, so he fouled a bat off his leg so he wouldn’t have to play.  Just like he chose to have surgery twice rather than play baseball.”

-twats of baseball 

[oldguy]

So, I'm guessing Rendon is gonna miss the all-star game?

Yes

[Mark68]

I mean, I get that injuries happen, but to the entire starting infield (including catcher) and the centerfielder? That's a bit ridiculous.

Better question, how many more games does he end up playing for the Angels? I know he has three years left on his deal, but I’d put the O/U somewhere around 100 honestly

[Ron Mexico]

Renpussy is such a bitch I hate that MF 100× more than I do Pujols

It feels like we all should be used to this by now.

The hand injury and this one to the leg would appear to be pretty flukish…

Hopefully zero. I'd rather another team deal with him.

Totally agree with Wayne here. 

He also mentioned Bryce Harper's injury last year, where he missed a few months and the World Series, yet the team around him rallied. 

The Angels need to go ALL IN. It's now or never, you're not going to get the haul you need from Ohtani. Unless he absolutely says he's walking in FA. 

This is true.

It just seems that the number of injuries for the Halos has been higher than the MLB average the past few seasons.

Just like his 2019 season.
