Trout is really struggling

[Angelsjunky]

3 hits in his last 23 at bats (.130) - last six games.

 

Let's get this biznatch turned around.

[bloodbrother]

Hence why the offense hasn't been scoring a lot of runs. I believe they've scored more than 3 in just 2 of their 12 games since the break

[Lhalo]

That HR derby really f'd him up.

[tdawg87]

AJ, it only works if you put more effort into it. If I'm not mistaken your Pujols thread was at least a few paragraphs long.

[Oz27]

That AB with two runners on was awful

[nando714]

The entire team has been avg since the break. Is our record 6-6? After tonight

Anyone else concerned were about to choke in the 2nd half

I don't feel like we're that far away. Offense is showing some life but the pitching has taken a dip. It'll even out, no need to panic. I don't like our chances of catching the A's (and I never have) but I'd be stunned if we don't have HFA in the WC game.

[bloodbrother]

Gonna need to start scoreboard watching the Blue Jays. They are winning and if everything holds, they'll be 5.5 games back of Halos for top WC

[Oz27]

Eff me, Trout looks like a cross between Jeff Mathis and David Freese at the plate right now. It'll turn around, obviously, but this isn't fun to watch.

Typical ASG MVP slump.

[Richard]

Trout kinda sucks yo

[Angel Oracle]

Typical post-ASB slump for this team.

Seems to happen most of the time.

[m0nkey]

Shouldn't have done the derby

[DMVol]

Typical post-ASB slump for this team.

Seems to happen most of the time.

Not sure why but that seems to be the pattern.

[Angel Oracle]

One word: Scioscia

[Blarg]

Ok, who thinks we should move Trout in the batting order?

[Richard]

Platoon with Shuck time.

[Jason]

And they get Jesus ..I mean Norris next.

[bloodbrother]

I'm somewhat hoping they complete a deal for LEster tonight so he can start tomorrow. Team may fare better vs him than they would vs Bud Norris, who morphs into Cy Young, 1999 and 2000 Pedro Martinez, and Bob Gibson combined vs this team

[Ohtaniland]

Let's face it, as Trout goes the team goes. If Trout ever got a serious long term injury Pujols and Hamilton wouldn't save them.

[TroutCron]

Very tough pitching ahead in the next 8 games. This is going to be a very bumpy ride. The jet is obviously Trout. Hopefully this slump doesn't last as long as the last one.

[Agalloch]

Yeah, as long as Trout's having these 0-4 games it's really up to the pitching to keep us in games.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@MikeDiGiovanna: #Angels CF Mike Trout is 5-34 (.147) with two RBIs and 13 Ks in his last 9 games. Seems like rest of offense has followed.

[Angel Oracle]

What are Trout's season stats against starting pitchers with sub 4.00 ERAs? Just curious

[Angelsjunky]

I blame it on Angelswin Moderhomers (or does Homerator sound better?)
