Angels' Matt Thaiss ready for season after mentally draining battle with COVID-19
The Angels will set their 30-man roster for the start of a pandemic-shortened season in a week, and a decision about Jo Adell hasn’t been made.
Despite the time missed, Thaiss believes he will be ready to play when the season begins next week. He spent the months before becoming infected working out in Arizona, getting his batting and fielding reps where he could and training at a gym during baseball’s shutdown. Now he’s back to his normal routine, working with hitting coachesand taking advantage of intrasquad games.
“I think everybody understands how important it is that we create our own bubble and exist within it. It’s not that tough. … Deny yourself some things you normally do, whether it’s going out to a bar, restaurant, whatever.“A couple more months of doing that, it’s not gonna hurt anybody. So it’s a lot of self control. It’s a lot of self discipline that we have to practice right now.
