TBH it’s happened multiple times at this point (player stays in the game and ends up going on the DL after the game) that maybe we should look into finding a new athletic trainer.
But honestly yeah, having a fat/obese trainer is like having vegan chef.
Bottom line is that Charlie has to grow a f***ing spine and tell the player “look, its an 8-0 game, we’re removing you from the game just in case its worse than we expect”
Throwing hand maybe he stays in the game but his catching hand?? Come on…
Yeah Charles is a f***ing idiot. Maybe if Jansen comes out of the game he’s only injured for a couple days.
Couldn’t have been good to catch multiple 95+ fastballs with a borderline fracture in his hand.
Stupid.
Pretty sure we were saying this about Grichuk too.
Idk, I think we know what Gurriel is at this point. An extremely streaky hitter with a career 115 wRC+ and a cannon arm in LF
Also somewhat concerning for Gurriel is he's completely lost the homerun power he had.... similar to Grichuk again
Yeah I guess it makes sense to stretch him to start now that Ryu is likely done for the year. Although Stripling has looked pretty good in the starting role this year…
Yeah especially since it was his left/receiving hand. Could catch a fastball wrong and injure the hand worse than it was. Should have taken him out, no real reason not to other than Charlie being dumn.
Hope he’s ok after a day or two off.
Yeesh. 12 in a row now? That’s gotta be demoralizing for both the team and the fanbase. I saw on reddit that their playoff odds went from 75% to 30% since the start of the losing streak 2 weeks ago.
Blue Jays truly broke the Angels
