"Official: Gentry on DL (right lumbar spine strain), Shoemaker to AAA, Robinson and Achter up, Wilson on 60-day DL (make room for Robinson)."

 

[Glen]

Jesus, now Gentry too?

[jsnpritchett]

Jesus, now Gentry too?

 

Yep. 

 

The lack of talent throughout the organization is embarrassing.  Shane Robinson is the best you can do as a fill-in?  Ugh.

[OregonLAA]

I feel like we have much better options in AAA than Robinson

[Chuck]

Kubitza would have been nice since he's been mashing, but Sosh loves his platoons, so we get another weak hitting righty to platoon with Ortega. 

 

Ugh! 

[totdprods]

Big reason Robinson's up (over Cunningham and Buss) is because his opt-out was today, and the org probably hesitant to cut loose another OF with Nava and Gentry both banged up. Ortega probably has LF locked up for the foreseeable future to determine where he goes once Nava/Gentry return. 

 

No sense bringing up Cunningham and Buss to sit on the bench in a 5th OF role - yet.

This team will be lucky to win 75 games this year, I knew coming into the season we weren't exactly contenders, but this is embarrassing!

Maybe the mantra for 2016 will be "injury-plagued."

[laagamer]

How? Goddamit

[eligrba]

I was not aware that there is a right and left lumbar spine and it can be strained!!

 

Angels medical staff..........doing as well as Albert in 2016.

[Erstad Grit]

Ortega getting a huge opportunity. I like it.

Three games out with 148 to go is embarrassing?

[disarcina]

Robinson was a good depth pick up -- with Gentry out (no huge loss there) Robinson is as good as any to fill the roster spot...he played fairly well for St Louis in a semi-platoon role.

Shoemaker is far removed from that 16 win season two plus years ago -- what happened?

He will probably be back up at some point given the Angels' penchant for injuries to rotation guys but next time up, Shoemaker needs to put some quality starts on the board or his Angels days may be numbered.

[jimbo]

C'mon, if we can get anything above 75 wins this year Sosh has my vote for MOY.

You mean the excuse they'll try to feed the media?

[Jason]

This. Season. Sucks

people who make comments like this have no clue what they are talking about.

Get back to me when we're out of it by June, LOL!

[TroutCron]

Choi is taking up a roster spot that could go to Kubitza or Cowart. The way the starters go less than 6 innings they might need a 10 man pen.

[Jason]

I don't think we see Shoe again until September call ups or another injury

[Jason]

The league has made adjustments

My apologies.

 

Perhaps you could educate me on the diagnosis.  I am familiar with a lumbar strain but not a lumbar spine strain.  Please Doc, tell me how to strain a spine.

 

I will take your answer off the air.

The original statement said now "present" is embarrassing. In fact the original post said he didn't expect to compete.

Too bad it wasn't Shoemaker on the DL instead of Heaney.
