Mike Trout replaced on All Star Game Roster, will not play

[BTH]

 

[Stradling]

Whew!

[BTH]

Kind of a joke that Ward isn’t the replacement since:

a. He’s been better than France

b. He’s an outfielder.

c. Ward is a teammate of Trout’s

[Angelsjunky]

Good and bad. Good because he won't risk re-injury. Bad because his injury is worse than originally thought.

Unfortunately we're at the point that it is hard to deny that Trout is injury prone.

Eh, Trout wants to spend some time at home with his wife and son. Understandable.

[CaliAngel]

Trout out for the season?

We're well passed that point.

As fans of this team we all should have known it was worse than reported. 

[Angel Oracle]

IL him!

Then the soonest he can return is still Saturday, missing only one more game at least.

He left the game with back spasms after an at bat right? It's not like this occurred out in the field. If I recall after his plate appearance he didn't show up the next inning out in center. 

So he has back spasms from swinging a baseball bat? 

That's not good.

[Stradling]

Incredibly respectful of Trout. 

[Tank]

Can’t say I’m surprised.

Maybe. There was still a way to rationalize it up until recently.

I’ve had some serious back spasms before and they can linger. Seems like swinging a bat would be a problem

They're f'n awful.

But that doesn’t fit the narrative. 

[tdawg87]

There's a narrative?

I've never had serious back problems long term but when my back has hurt it scares the shit out of me because it makes you practically unfunctional, then you start wondering if it's ever going to go away and if it doesn't how could I possibly go through life this way. I don't wish back injuries on anyone. 

Usually a good couple back stretching sessions combined with some back strengthening workouts do the trick and it goes away, but I'm not swinging a baseball bat every day.

That’s the thing, just because it doesn’t hurt doesn’t mean it’s strong enough to play professional level sports

That’s what Kate Beckinsale is for.

[Slegnaac]

Who will they call up from AAA while Trout is on the IL?

Dillon Thomas?

[T.G.]

So… what about the rush to judgment and all the outrage?

[Taylor]

Very respectful of him.

That Trout doesn't care and was willing to play in the ASG but not in actual games.

Not ASB 2022
