His Royal Highness fell on his face with that one. He should have stayed at first.

[daygloman]

Well, since it's 4/20.... Time to spark one.......

Wow, Trout, dude...WTF?

At what point do we become concerned?

 

I think I became concerned back in December.

Going for the series split and a 5-5 road trip tomorrow.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Sometimes I wish we would switch our rotation up so that we would pit our worst pitcher against the opponent's best pitcher. While saving our best pitcher for a lesser pitcher.

Take today's game for instance we could have thrown Weaver against Sale, saving Richards for tomorrow against Danks, where we may have a better chance of winning one of the two games. At least until our offense wakes up.

Good try Trout. Worth the risk.

[Ohtaniland]

The 2013 Trout would've made it safe to second.

[AngelsLakersFan]

It's probably for the best if this team just tanks it hardcore Lakers style this year anyway.

[Mark68]

This team sucks. Pure and simple.

No ...it wasn't. It was bad baseball and Disar sucks as usual.

Down 1 run in the 9th with only 2 outs left in the game..you need f'n baserunners.

It's on Disar for not holding him at 1st.

Like I said..collective suckage.

[Homebrewer]

Scioscia sat there on the bench, stuffing something into his mouth and looking confused.

How often have we witnessed that picture?

Sick of the way this team looks, and it's not even the end of April.

A fellow stoner? #Excellent

[Mark68]

This team makes me think I should become a stoner.

 

At least I live in Colorado...

I disagree. Angels needed one run. Smart risk.

Not really. All Trout would've done if successful was put himself in scoring position for Pujols & Calhoun with one out.

 

If it was an attempt to score, it would have been a smarter risk, but not an attempt to get stranded in scoring position.

An attempt to get stranded in scoring position??? By that logic Trout shouldn't even have run to first base because he would have just been stranded on first. Better to be stranded on second than first.

The way things have been going, a home run was probably the only way that the Angels tie the game. Of course he should have run to first, I just don't think it mattered a whole hell of a lot if he was on first or second, because nobody behind him was getting a hit. Better to not run into an out there, to give them two more batters instead of just Pujols, who did a very Pujols thing in grounding out.

 

BTW, if Trout had stayed at first, Pujols' grounder to first might have gotten Trout to second. Or gotten him out as the first leg of a double play, which wouldn't have changed things from where they ended.

I know, right.
