[Jason]

I'll skip this one. I do not want to take the risk of watching a sweep

[Second Base]

Tropeano on the mound against Kyle Gibson. Thus one's in the bag!

[TroutField]

Let's not lollygag it on another drive to center today, Trout.

[TroutField]

Hopefully Trop can give us 6 or more innings today. This bullpen is atrocious

[The God of Runs]

Hopefully, page was turned

[RallyPanda]

Trop is gonna tear it up today!

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!! Go Nick Tropeano!!!

Avert the Sweep!!!

Come on, Trout. Wake up that bat (.231). Ditto Albert (.195).

Show some progress, Cron. You've doubled your hits total (now 4) in the past 3 games. .111 today, maybe .150 by Tuesday.

[Angels#1Fan]

Lets go Halos!

 

It's time for Trout to get hot and to start a new win streak today.

[tdawg87]

You know what would be cool for once? If the Angels just jumped out to a big lead and never looked back. That would be nice. 

 

Too much to ask for though. Gotta scrape across runs like we're pulling off bandaids.

Really loving our AAA replacement outfielder batting in the 2 spot

[RuledByNone]

Albert goes deep! 2-0

[AngelsLakersFan]

ALBERT!!!

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

If this was Trout rookie season he may be on a plane back to Salt Lake. Fortunately we know Trout is too good for his play to continue at this level for long.

[LAAFANofLA]

Albert sending one to Mars

[Stradling]

Hey Mike, Put me in 4th behind Trout and I'm choosing to DH today.

Albert

You must be so pissed off he hit that homer. Keep being you, it is adorable. I am very proud of you for being able to get over whatever he did to you, I am sure he thought it was consensual.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Simmons always looks like he's trying to protect the plate.

[CaliAngel]

Albert got all of that one.

[CaliAngel]

Gia we are not impressed.

[WeatherWonk]

For a team that has had a leadoff hitter get on at a .440 clip, you'd sure think we'd have more runs this season.

 

Nava's done OK in the few games he's played. I guess Trout is to blame.

 

I've never seen him go through such a stretch where he isnt even hitting the ball that hard. I did not see his first AB today.

[CaliAngel]

Calhoun usually throws better than that. Strange I thought his foot was still on the bag.

[CaliAngel]

Trop's making them short and sweet.

 

Looking good out there.

[CaliAngel]

Dude what in the f**k is taking so long for this guy to throw the effing ball?

[CaliAngel]

Who's this Ortega bum?

 

Is he in any way associated with the canned chili?

[CaliAngel]

Trouty! Went down and got it. Sitting on 2nd with AL comin' up!
