Agreed - I worry when the next setback will be

Should've just got the tommy John and been on his way to recovery like Heaney is - I'll bet he ends up having the surgery this offseason - such a bummer for us but especially for him - again I hope I'm wrong

Hmmm - I'd say you do - plus to overcome the fear of it happening again takes a strong person to get back out there .

I think at this point the organization needs to realize that neither can be counted on - if either comes back and doesn't just go right back on the DL that's a bonus - gotta get more pitching

Interesting that the guy who had to have brain surgery Has thrown more pitches and has been in more games than Richards/ Skaggs

I can't imagine that he will throw another pitch in a game this season - hope I'm wrong

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks he will end up having tommy John anyway - he took quite a gamble with his career - so let's say he gets it in the fall then he's out for 2 years - never pitches again for the Angels . Gets picked up on a one year deal by the A's has a dominant season which leads to a 3 year deal with a better team only to go on the DL and Never return . I hope im wrong he has such talent - I just see this going wrong for us

I'm thinking Trout - congrats to Albert - very cool to see that happen at home too

Chuck - I had the same reaction as you and was told by a few people that I was too harsh - but it's a normal reaction . I'm a professional musician but not of his fame level - hard to imagine not loving that life - I wonder about the drugs he was prescribed or what his mental state was - was he mentally ill ?

For sure an embarrassing disaster - actually worse than I thought it would be . He lives in an alternate reality - it might be fun to try living like that . For example if I were him I could say " I'm so proud to be an Angels fan - the 2016 season was a HUge success 7 million fans attended games throughout the season and I'm so happy we won the World Series " then maybe one of my buddies says to me " hey man 2016 was a losing season" I reply " well whatever , that's what someone told me " it could go on forever .....

For sure - this whole thing hangs on what happens in the rotation . Lots of questions - could go Either way . I think this is the most uncertain I've felt going into a new season in a long time

6-14 in the first 20 games ....

Anyone mentioned Trevor Reckling ?

The lives of 2 master musicians are at stake not a time to joke - prayers and good thoughts to each man and their family

I'd like to see him back next season - he's 34 not time to retire - maybe and hopefully he realizes it's not gonna be a big contract . With so many question marks with our starting pitching why not bring him back as long as the money works

I'd say yes - but I highly doubt it happens . Bringing back former players seems like a very rare thing for the Angels . I'd love a Trumbo reboot though .

I like it - why not give him a shot - could be good for us

Snake bit by injuries this team can only hope to sell fans a chance at seeing Trout be Trout and .... Watch Albert climb the all time home run list - even if he is batting .190 ... Little bit of value there not much though

ive liked what ive seen so far - fun to watch in the field for sure and the bat has been alright

I agree- ive liked what ive ssen so far- play the hot hand

So do we bring him back next year on a hometown discount ? I'll admit he's my favorite player and I get sentimental about the homegrown guys - but do we bring him back if the price is right ? I really can't imagine him playing anywhere else - maybe he still will have value as a 4 or 5 to us

I agree the dude has heart and is working his hardest - makes me root for him even more

Sweep the royals !!! Awesome

Yes !!!!!!!
