Last week, we ran through reason for optimism and why the Halos will make the playoffs. This week, the pessimist's view, examining why the club will miss the postseason.
While a six man rotation may keep every pitcher in the rotation fresh and injure-free, the health history of the squad says otherwise. Garrett Richards has made 12 starts in two seasons. Shohei Ohtani is coming off an injury-plagued season of his own. Andrew Heaney and Tyler Skaggs have shown promise, but lengthy disabled list stints and surgeries have stunted that enthusiasm.  Question marks surround the rotation, creating a huge chasm of potential for the entire club this season. 
Tuesday also means a trip Down on the Farm, examining the top prospects at Angels camp in Tempe, updating everyone on the progress of Matt Thaiss, Rymer Liriano, and David Fletcher.
Lastly, everyone needs to breathe and leave Shohei Ohtani alone. Tune in and find out why!
