Lol the chicken littles are out in full force...

Obviously not a lot of sports players here...grade 1 sprains are pretty common and can be managed.

I'm sure all 7 teams involved in the process did thorough background and felt comfortable enough to go for it.

I mean, I feel like us Angel fans are allowed to panic and freak out.

I personally have self diagnosed with having Angels pitcher PTSD.  

Give me a f***ing break man.  I rattle easily when it comes to the Angels.

Well the only positive I can think of right now is that Ervin Santana has pitched for 8 years now after his UCL sprain diagnosis without needing surgery. 

This is true....and his bread and butter pitch is the slider. Just sucks that Ohtani is already coming here with a red flag on his arm.

Also, I blame that asshole Dipoto for leaking this story and upsetting us.

99% sure it was Dipoto.

Yep, it's no different than the Angels having once thrown first round money at Adenhart while his arm was still in a sling after TJ surgery...    Ohtani is a long term asset..  Only he's not in need of surgery and even the actual report states he would be able to begin his throwing program in 30 days...

I mean this right here should sum everything up.

You know it was leaked by another ball club. Sad that the media could get access to confidential medical information

If he showed up at Angels Stadium on crutches, at this point he would still mean in excess of $25 million in additional revenue.  Maybe Dipoto started this story so he would feel better.

No kidding, this is what happens when someone gets all butt hurt.

[Chuck]

We signed the #1 prospect in the world that happens to be major league ready. 

Let that settle in for a second..

[Docwaukee]

without getting into too much detail, Chuck is right.  

(about his penis)

(just kidding.  his comments about pitchers getting MRIs and having something wrong 99% of the time are spot on)

Asked Billy Eppler just today about the PRP injection Ohtani had. He said it was in the report teams got during the negotiation process and it was strictly preventative. Stay tuned....

Jeff Fletcher‏Verified account @JeffFletcherOCR

Eppler statement: “Shohei underwent a thorough physical with MRI scans to both his elbow and his shoulder. Those are scans we conduct whenever we sign a pitcher. Based on the readings of those MRIs, there are not signs of acute trauma in the elbow. (more)

It looks consistent with players his age. We are pleased with the results of the physical and we are very happy to have the player.”

Chill the fuck out...

It's a grade one sprain..

“Although partial damage of UCL in deep layer of his right UCL exists,” the report said, “ … he is able to continue full baseball participation with sufficient elbow care program.”

I’m sure you understand why we are skeptical

Phew.

Bleachers Reports notification scared the crap out of me.

 

[Vlad27Trout27]

It may or may not be serious, it's a sprain, so if it's similar to a  regular sprain it should be able to heal, which was why the PRP Injection was taken. Plus we don't know when this medical was taken, and compared to the once Eppler referring to it's didn't look bad.

Sooo can he play 2b?

This is reassuring.  Hopefully the injections and rest will be sufficient.

All that said, even if he needs TJ surgery, this is STILL a great deal.  He is an elite talent, even if he's injured.  It puts a damper on things but doesn't change the player we just acquired.

Like chuck said, everyone chill. Hes probably just dehydrated.

[Chimi]

Would anymore message board Doctors like to chime in with their diagnosis?

Rule #1 do not subscribe to anything BR says.

Rule #2 see rule #1.

So are we safe to say this is media over-dramatics as usual? 

Some dude at the bar just pulled up some stupid facebook shared article (probably a Halo hater) and it's reporting like Ohtani is inevitable for Tommy John surgery. 

It felt like overdramatics and bad news, because so many people hate on the Angels, it's crazy how stupid shit people read can become "fact" to folks who don't even check the facts. Super annoying and I can't believe some people are so quick to judge with the first thing they hear. 

It just makes me want the Halos to win more than ever.

So, as I understand it, TJ surgery is to repair a torn UCL. This board seems pretty eager to send people under the knife when they don't actually have the condition that's repaired by TJ surgery

In other words it’s just like AW
