Trout is back to his usual ways

[ghoetke]

Always takes the first pitch and usually gets behind in the count and he's unable to make contact consistently with the high fastball and breaking ball. He's on pace to surpass his strikeout number last year 170+. He's still one helluva ball player.

Cool, then he will win the MVP again.

he sucks but still good?

[HaloMagic]

A third of the way into the season and he only has 3.2 WAR.

What a bitch.

[Glen]

Trout is like a supermodel who peaked at 21 and now we're seeing some of the cottage cheese. He's still hot and all of us would bang him if we had the chance but now we're seeing some of the flaws.

Yeah but really, how valuable is a MVP that strikes out 170 times.  We should probably trade him for Coco Crisp while his value is still high.

[shellback]

i guess there were people that complained about mantle's drinking and whoring around.

the guy's a generational talent- lets enjoy his play

LOL - actually this is pretty true.

 

Glen, you need to write an article titled "Trout's Cottage Cheese."

Math fail. Trout struck out 184 times last year and is on pace to strike out about 150 times this year.

[Angelsjunky]

One thing we haven't seen from Mike yet is a total tear. I keep hoping to see him catch fire and see his numbers rise.

[seenoevil]

Trout jersey was wrinkled the other day

[halomatt]

I saw him frown.  

[Troutstanding]

Yeah if only Trout could just figure it out at the plate... That's probably the Angels biggest hole in the line up, well, besides Pujols, of course. Trout just strikes out too much to be any use. What good is he if he's only on pace for 9.6 WAR and a 159 OPS+?

Speaking of his OPS+ it's really slipping... Year by year from 168 to 179 to 167 to 159. I mean jeez. That line drive he hit in last nights game wasn't even in the gap. What's he thinking? When he hits sharp line drives they shouldn't be right at the outfielder... His aim is way off.

[Ohtaniland]

He's greatest player who ever sucked. I wish we had more sucky players like Mike Trout.

[Angel Oracle]

Everyone had trouble hitting against Archer (15 Ks).

[shellback]

archer looked unhitable. except for that hanger he threw albert.

you gotta waste time as a hitter against against a fractious, nervous pitcher like archer. ruins his timing.

So you're saying he's like Kate Upton? Please keep him away from Verlander.

[Sully151]

Everyone had trouble hitting against Archer (15 Ks).

And Trout had 12 of them.

[Brandon]

Glen, you need to write an article titled "Trout's Cottage Cheese."

Please don't

[seenoevil]

Trout home run was to far, it should had barely went over the fence

[NrM]

People need to stop obsessing over strikeouts. Players who walk and hit for power usually strikeout a lot.

 

Bryce Harper, Joc Pederson, Paul Goldsmidt all have similar or worse K percentages than trout. I doubt their fans care.

no marine layer tonight

Johnny G has as many HRs as Hamilton this year.

[Dick B Back]

Johnny G has as many home runs and more RBIs as Cano (for a much more team friendly paycheck).

[dimitrig]

Fat trout

[Dick B Back]

You are soooooooo ****ing mean.

Oops, sorry.

Well at least Trumbo got 2 hits for you yesterday.
