2K24: Los Angeles Angels

Maybe Gohara? Dillon Peters? Jose Suarez?

I kinda like Suarez. Gohara has the best pedigree, though.

Mike Trout admitted Friday that he and his wife, Jessica, discuss daily the possibility of him sitting out the 2020 season.
The couple is expecting their first baby in August, so it's understandable that Trout is wrestling with the decision. “I love playing this game. We want to play,” Trout said. “It’s going to come down to how safe we’re going to be. If there’s an outbreak, you definitely have to reconsider. There’s a lot of questions. I love baseball, but I have to do what’s right for my family. It’s going to be a tough decision if something happens down the road. I think the biggest thing is, these next few weeks, if I test positive, it’s my first child, and I have to be there. If I’m positive, doctors have told me I can’t see the baby for 14 days. Jess won’t see the baby for 14 days if she tests positive. We’re going to be upset.” It sounds like Trout is tentatively leaning toward playing as things stand right now but could change his mind depending on how things play out. Given his situation, you could hardly blame him for sitting out.

Yeah, I wouldn't blame him and fans would forgive him, for sure. But I'd bet he plays. Years from now, when comparing players acorss generations, this season, and maybe next, will be factored into the "what if" convos, like great players who missed prime years due to WWII.

I was about to trade for him in RJEL--this was a concern I had, glad my offer was rejected.

Ohtani with an epically disastrous start: 0 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 5 ER.

In such a shortened season, that’s about as bad a fantasy disaster as you can get.

good news if you were worried about him pitching too many innings this year

LOL.

Using today's political reasoning, if I didn't look at my Live Scoring, then maybe it didn't really happen.

If Ohtani doesn't pitch again this year his era will be zero.

wouldn't it be infinity?

That's correct he's pulling a Harry Heitmann

I'm struggling with the "pitch again" terminology

[mgwiz22]

It should be but CBS at least doesn't do infinity. CBS shows it as zero.

I just assume he means next year.

I was just thinking it was a stretch to call yesterdays outing "pitching"
