Ohtani is different in more ways than one.

What other player couldn't wait one more year to come to mlb and get $200 million?

It could be that's the case and he offered the locker for his ir replacement It could be worse. I don't see Ohtani as the kind of guy that would storm out We all have our breaking points

If it was. A lot of posters here would receive such diagnosis

The draft and international scouting were the main cause of the organizations downturn. Not Pujols. Not Hamilton. Not Rendon. Not trading Ohtani for prospects. There was some bad luck along the way . That didn't help. The owner is far from great, but he's not the worst . I blame the trainers and medical staff. Kidding

That'll fix Ohtani's arm, Rendon leg and Trouts wrist. It's the curse of Arturo changing the name to Los Angeles

Two doctors picked by the Angels said it was a bone bruise. Two doctors picked by Rendon said it was a bone bruise. Try harder. I don't need to know. None of us do.

He isnt showing up because he has a fractured tibia.

Why would he lie?

A lot of you just want to feel wronged and/or place blame. I'm no medical doctor... or trainer... or expert on hipaa. I also don't think everyone that doesn't want to share with the media is the worst.

This thread. Oof.

Never forget... Blake Snell risked his life out there so we could be entertained during the summer of 2020.

Lol

Definitely the next Ted Williams

Yes. Best option by far right now. As far as addressing pitching. They were, what, 9th in mlb in era last year. Added Anderson. While you couldn't have expected a repeat of last year you could've expected better. Added Estevez and Moore. Young pitchers don't come up and have consistently good results. Some hitters do but not many starters. Detmers, Sandoval, Silseth, and Canning could make for an excellent rotation .... even next year. It didn't work out this year, but it doesn't mean the Angels ignore pitching

He's probably a good guy to have around. Especially now when you are done, the season has been disappointing, and the future is uncertain.

Nobody thought Giolito was s 1

Ben Verlander hammered the Angels yesterday for causing this. Today he got more information and posted an "emergency podcast". Good info. Didn't offer any sort of apology for the crap he said about the organization, though. Even though the info means they aren't to blame. Injuries happen... especially this one... Sometimes there's nothing you can do about it

Crazy. I could see it happening the other way, too

My mom lived in Rome

I think yall are aiming too low.

I think it was because he felt pain.

For players with 200 PA... Moniak has the 6th worst strikeout rate and 5th worst walk rate in MLB. That's the worst bb/k rate and it's not close.

Love what I've seen from him. Excited for his future. I think the Angels have filled three black holes in about one year. All with young, cheap players. Their biggest problems over the last ten years have been finding young, cheap contributors and the absolute dead spots in the order.

Tee hee hee. The guy mentioned in the thread title and the post that was quoted, numbnuts.
