LA Angels Thursday News Crash- Swept Away

The Angels lost yet again yesterday. The Angels say Anthony Rendon will be back in a few days.  He will not need to go on the injured list. In other roster moves, James Hoyt was sent down to Salt Lake City and Aaron Slegers was brought up as a fresh arm. 

Injury Links

Groin injury of the day:  Jean Segura.

Forearm strain of the day:  Tucker Davidson.  

Cody Bellinger is now on the IL for left hamstring tightness

Kris Bryant was hit on the hand by a pitch.  The X-Rays are negative, but he’s still not feeling very good

Former Angels Prospect Josέ Soriano underwent Tommy John surgery number two.

Bryce Harper has back tightness.  The Phillies don’t think it is a long term issue. 

Kyle Tucker and Collin McHugh were both placed on the COVID injured list.  McHugh has since received one negative test and feels better. 

Links From Around Baseball

Scott Boras couldn’t resist sticking his oar into the illegal grip substances quagmire

Starlin Castro went on the Restricted List because of a “family matter that requires his immediate attention.” 

The Athletics reinstated Ramon Laureano from the injured list just in time to be a real pain in the ass to the Angels. 

At least the Angels did not make this list of the worst bunts of the season (through June 9).  Some of them are pretty bad. 

This is annoying.  Bleacher Report ranks every team’s “ace.”  They say Shohei Ohtani is our best pitcher and then they proceed to call Dylan Bundy our ace.  The very predictable result is a low ranking for the Angels.

Ok. Eric’s postgame thread begins now.

I’m very happy we got the win but I’m still a little frosted about the rundown. Pathetic.

This is a win that shows why the Angels are so bad.

You have also even wrong.
It doesn’t count when we come back and win after the other team ties the game.

What solution??

You’re not offering a solution for shit!

And btw, calling “Game” does not make you smart or clever when the result occurs.

Anybody could do that with high, high probability of success when a team takes a two or more run lead in late innings.

But we don’t do it. Do you know why???

Because it messes with the mojo!!

Don’t know about that. Saturday or certainly Sunday, or even both are possible. I would just rule out tonight.

Well, you can do it when the other team has a 2 run lead. But don’t call if for us unless our lead is 15. Or maybe 20.
