Here's another question: would you say your average pitcher is better or worse than the machine?

Average pitcher is way more expensive.

Not as encouraging as I’d like news about Trout to be.

As least Trout talks. Rendon would have said "I still have two wrists, but I'm not here and baseball is boring"

The good news is, it will feel good just in time for October bow season.

Trouts injuries the past  couple/3 years have been total freaky. And resulted in abnormally long absences   

4 years straight. 134 games 5 years ago, but he got 600 pa.

i'm waiting for the inevitable moment that trout comes back before rendon, which would have blown my mind in the first half of the year.

Of course, returning by the high number of weeks out, the Halos way

Its frustrating that even in the thick of a potential wildcard spot, none of the players on long term IL could come back and play.   Even if not 100%, just be out there fighting with the team.

I think when Ohtani conceded the season, everyone else thought "screw it... I'm out".

It’s clear to me there’s a culture of laziness on this team.  The question is, where did it start and how will it be fixed?

I think the player Agents have too much power.   Won't let the players back on the field until 100%

I got to disagree on that. Rendon is the perfect example of this, personally I feel like he's been brought back with an AA/AAA assignments and just had led to injuries. Neto.could also be placed on the list 

 

or our health team just sucks

Where did it start: Arte giving absurd guaranteed contracts paying for the players they *were* not who they're *going to be* resulting in "I'm in OC and don't care how I play, I don't get booed by fans and I'm getting paid so eff it" attitudes. 

How will it be fixed: Arte needs to sell, offices (acquisitions, trades) and coaching (culture) and fitness staffing (injuries) cleared the eff out.

Entire organization is a joke. Watch the Braves for a week and you'll see how a Professional Baseball Team performs.
