He grew up in a New York sports-heavy region in Connecticut and earned his journalism degree at the University of Rhode Island. His in-depth knowledge of two of the most passionate and raucous fan bases in the country gives him a truly unique writing voice.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">MLB</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Commitment is not an easy thing to do, really in any stage of life. The fear of failure and humiliation can be too crushing for some. The Los Angeles Angels put themselves out there ahead of the trade deadline, taking a massive leap to try to make the playoffs and subsequently keep Shohei Ohtani in the offseason.</p><p>They are cruelly learning that there is not always a straightforward, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-shohei-ohtani-trade-mike-trout-la-future" rel="noopener">quick-fix path</a> to success. Already losers of three in a row and five out of their last seven, the Angels (56-54) just got dealt <a href="https://twitter.com/SamBlum3/status/1687580756888141825" rel="noopener">more bad news</a> that threatens to prologue their downward spiral.</p><p>Rookie shortstop Zach Neto revealed he is being placed on the 10-day injury list with lower back inflammation, according The Athletic’s Sam Blum. He has battled ailments throughout the season and has not been the same player since returning from his last stint on the IL. Even so, Neto’s continued development is important both for the short and long-term outlook of the franchise. It is now halted again.</p><p>It should be noted that infielder Brandon Drury, who is hitting .277 with 14 home runs, is <a href="https://twitter.com/LAAngelsPR/status/1687590937529331716" rel="noopener">being activated off the IL</a>, per Angels PR, and is expected to rejoin the MLB roster. Though, LA cannot afford to keep going around in this give-and-take cycle. This is the worst possible time to be short-handed.</p><p>The colossal wave of misfortune that has flooded Anaheim is potentially detrimental to the MLB as well. Teams who are walking the tightrope between postseason contention and mediocrity might think twice about being buyers at the trade deadline for fear of plunging to their doom.</p><p>LA general manager Perry Minasian mortgaged a significant piece of the future to land former Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito, while also adding C.J. Cron and Randal Grichuk from the Colorado Rockies. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-lucas-giolito-pummeled-by-braves" rel="noopener">Giolito is 0-2</a> with a 12.00 ERA and has actually helped bring the Angels further away from October baseball.</p><p>None of this is to shame him or the franchise. Whether or not the Angels become a cautionary tale is not really the point.   Commitment can be a beautiful thing, but with it comes a potentially damaging amount of risk. With Zach Neto not in the lineup for the time being, more damage might be coming.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

If they can add on to their current four-game winning streak and climb up the American league Wild Card standings, they can justifiably avoid trading Shohei Ohtani. Though, Lady Luck seems dead set on making this stretch as stressful as possible.</p><p>With news breaking that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angels-news-anthony-rendon-dealt-concerning-injury-update" rel="noopener">Anthony Rendon will be shut down</a> for an additional two weeks (shin injury), manager Phil Nevin was also forced to scratch Zach Neto from his lineup ahead of Saturdays game vs. the Pittsburgh Pirates. The rookie shortstop, who recently returned after missing a month with an oblique strain, is <a href="https://twitter.com/RhettBollinger/status/1682872507261657089" rel="noopener">dealing with lower back tightness</a>, per MLB.com’s Rhett Bollinger. Nevin said he could be out the rest of the series.</p><p>The Angels can hardly afford to be without one of their better talents for even a day right now. Admittedly, that is a lot of pressure to put on a player who spent less than a year in the minor leagues before being called up to the MLB roster. But there is simply no time to spare.</p><p>Considering he was thrown into the fire, Neto has taken to short relatively quickly and is swinging a competent bat. The 22-year-old’s average has gone down after a slumping July, but he has flashed enough promise for fans to believe he is a part of the club’s future.</p><p>But is Shohei Ohtani? That questions becomes harder to answer after untimely setbacks such as these.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
