OK-LA Angels

My thoughts and prayers are with his family, loved ones, friends and teammates. Feels all too familiar. 
 
RIP Tyler Skaggs #45

that settles it. Murray isn't playing in the NHL. 

I'm assuming you mean first round pick and not the first pick 

got it 

Oh I didn't specifically mean it was all people on here. Hubs has some criticisms of him but he explains what they are and why. I dont take issue with that. I was meaning in general I'm seeing it a lot, just knocking the kid and not explaining why. Unfortunately, this is one of the only places I have an account to Express my view on it. I only lurk elsewhere. Lol.

Company Playstations now I believe. 

He does seem fast enough to reach on a bunt. You'd think 4 bunts a game (assuming he's always facing a shift) would result in a higher avg. than .180.
I love Kole. I love how he plays. But I truly believe his hitting died when the shift came around for him. 

I'm sure there is a way to check this stat. But I'm not going to so I'll make my comment based entirely on feelings.
Kole's hitting ended when teams starting playing the shift against him. 

Didn't Skaggs get hurt right when it seemed like he was starting to find his groove though? I'm going entirely off of memory here, so I could he completely wrong. But wasn't Skaggs like 6-7 innings into a no-hitter when he exited with his injury? 
Now of course, a no hitter is no way to judge whether a pitcher is any good or not as there have been some less than spectacular pitchers who have thrown them. But I feel like I remember Skaggs starting to turn a corner leading up to his last game, was in the middle of a no no and then bam. He was out with an injury.
I don't know if the hype on him is way overblown, I think he has shown glimpses in the past that he has a chance to succeed at this level but only time will tell and I'm still hopeful that he finds it and stays healthy. 

I feel like I'm dreaming. I've been waiting for this since the final game of last season so I can't believe we are already here. 

Congrats Vladdy! One of the most exciting players I watched growing up

Hello,
I've been an Angels fan my whole life and went to my first Angels game in 2002 as an 11 year old kid. Saw them play the Indians and we got beat pretty badly. Our pitcher got lit up (I think it was Washburn), there was an Eckstein error and a monster Jim Thome home run. Although I always considered myself an Angels fan, that 2002 season was the first season as a kid where I sat down almost every night that I could to watch the Angels or listen to them on the radio. As you could imagine, it was quite a magical first full season to witness.
I've been lurking this board almost every single day for close to 13 years now and I just figured that maybe it was time to consider joining the fun.
