Him and all the people that liked it must be jealous Dodger fans.

[Hollyw00d]

Dodger fans are a charming bunch.

also, I despise social media. If gives every clown out there a voice that people have to hear from.

@JeffFletcherOCR: The 2 longest HRs of Mike Trout's career have both been hit in KC, both against former teammates. Jason Vargas (489). Ervin Santana (463)

Too bad we don't play the Pirates this year.

It's really cool that Mike Trout is on the Angels IMO

I wonder how the home run tracker estimate the distances of these home runs.. Trout home run vs Santana and this home run don't seem to far off distance wise from each other, maybe this one is more a line drive shot. LOL @ the Royals saying 445 ft,

 

I don't have any faith that they get the parabola of each shot correctly, the differences in height when the ball lands, etc.

 

Lotsa guesswork involved.

[yk9001]

It was funny, during the at bat on radio, Terry and Langley spent the whole at bat talking about Trout's other Monster shot at Kauffman a couple years ago.  Then this happened.

I, too, find that cool.

[xboom28x]

I wonder how far Trout would hit HRs if he was batting 3rd

The new Mike Trout "El Hombre" freeway signs should be coming soon. Get'er done Arte.

[Stradling]

I'm still a little worried about him, just sayin'

Espn was clearly wrong in their calculation. Had it not been impeded, it would have continued circling the earth, gradually slowing, then reversing the earth’s rotation.

  …Resulting in Superman being able to stop the Angels from signing Pujols to that contract.

Next comes the Home Run Derby..........

 

you know. That's the event that nobody watches because it's stupid..........

 

and you know what they say about the Home Run Derby..........

 

he will never be the same........

 

it will ruin his swing.......

 

Looking forward to the Mike Trout Home Run Derby thread.

I would LOVE to see Trout in the Home Run Derby.

 

I don't buy into the swing ruining stuff at all.

[Hollyw00d]

I would prefer if he wasn't in the HR derby

[NJHalo]

There is no way they can send him down after this

I love how he says "across the board." Is he talking about white people?

Yeah, cause Trumbo was anything but a head case after his HR Derby appearance.

 

Not comparing the two at all, but its a day of swings and approaches you would never do otherwise.

 

No reason for it. Play in the All Star game, pass on the HR Derby. Nobody cares about it anyway.

Jews don't count.

[tdawg87]

Jews don't count.

 

Uhhh I'm pretty sure they count. A lot.

[LAAFANofLA]

Trout has the speed and ability to hit for average, but Harper has more raw power.

for sure bro

[Docwaukee]

Uhhh I'm pretty sure they count. A lot.

you're thinking of Asians.
