Compare this to how Rendon acts in front of the media.

Funny you should say that, the last time they got him on video we got to see what he said .vs how Sam Blum reported it.  Also, did you read what he said after his most recent injury? 

I know some of you just want to hate the guy but you're going at it like Clod did AP.

Jordyn Adams could get the call, if they don't want to make another 40-man move.

I havent looked, but unless he's got a platoon split opposite Moniak's he's maybe better suited to stay in AAA for a bit.

Clown show. Only he could hit 10 HRs in April and then go out for extended time.

At this point, Trout and Rendon are more like Pujols than different. All three collapsed in their early 30s...Trout actually did in his late 20s. He really is Griffey 2.

I can only imagine how Trout feels. Has he had this before? 

A season cut short by injury? Once or twice.

Cursed content sir.  Sad. Very sad even.

There’s a lot of reason to point to the team being a clown show, but Mike Trout needing surgery isn’t one of them.  Be better.

For some strange reason, I feel compelled to go to the dispensary.  

This will be the first of a few margaritas for me tonight.

Nothing about AP's decline or performance was injury related save for the season he hurt his leg.  The single biggest factor into his demise was the shift.

I just don't want Calhoun or some other complete reject up here.

And the planter's peanuts on the bottom of his foot.

It's also weird that Trout got the prognosis so quickly.

Battle for the AL West basement here we go!

 

I bet Oakland finishes 4th.

Oh I get it -- I just dont want to see another guy pushed into something and then being worse off for it.  

Call me a hater, but there's a part of me that is enjoying seeing their refusal to add IF help or sign an OFer come back to bite them in the ass.  I wasn't in the "sign the big guys" camp, but I wanted them to make sensible offers to people who weren't absolute trash. There was nothing, absolutely nothing that would have kept them from playing the young guys AND making an attempt at safeguarding themselves by signing capable players. 

People can say that it takes two to tango and the sort, but there's enough info out there to know who the Angels did and didn't make offers on.

Thats the one.  All that did was make slow guy, slower.

These injuries are very common so any competent trainer can tell by range of motion and where the pain exists to make the determination. I'm sure they will do an MRI to determine the extent of the damage.

Why its that so weird, you can tell a knee tear in about 20 minutes on an MRI?

He's been in cahoots with Rendon, they were planning this out.  When they are done playing baseball they are going to be evil secret agents.

I didn’t want Bellinger but I thought a Gurriel or Teoscar on a reasonable deal wouldn’t have been bad.

I feel like Fletch wouldn't just put this out there for no reason. I'm guessing he must've heard his name come out from somewhere.

[Erstad Grit]

Last two weeks here: Trout is u clutch, PH for him, he looks awful, etc

Today: Noooooooo season over
