I don’t think anything to do with the skull and brain is “fairly routine”.
But nonetheless, speedy recovery Matt. That was really sickening to watch.

Yep, that was bad stuff. Surprised it doesn’t happen more often. Hope he has a quick recovery.

It’s routine for trauma center surgeons… compared to motorbike wrecks and gunshot wounds it’s fairly routine. But it’s still a brain bleed and a skull fracture. Which is very bad. Glad he seems to be OK for sure.

And the hits just keep on piling up for this bad luck team….

Wow, if I’m a pitcher for the Angels, I wouldn’t want to go anywhere near the mound. They’re cursed.

I hope he has a speedy recovery. My oldest son had brain surgery at the same hospital last summer and they did a great job.
Cam
Hope your son had a speedy and successful recovery bud.

I’m with Cam. Hope your son is well and glad to hear Shoemaker is in good hands.
animedad
Thank you both. He is doing great. They did a great job with him and saved his life.

Angels now have a full 5 man rotation plus most of a bullpen on the DL. Almost caught up to their SoCal rivals.

They cut a hole in his skull to stop bleeding on the brain and its “fairly routine”. WTH is he talking about. Surgeons never, and I mean NEVER, choose cutting open your skull unless its A-VERY serious and B- last resort. Way to many things can go wrong. Talk to any neurosurgeon and they are going to tell you the same thing. That they did the surgery meant his life was in danger.
That being said glad he is doing ok post surgery and Godspeed in his recovery. SCARY thing to watch and must have been even more frightening for his family. Prayers go out to them.

I pray for him and his family. God bless….
