[Homebrewer]

Nobuena hitting 4th.

Brilliant! Trouty will get a lot of pitches to hit today.

[Slegnaac]

Get Away Sunday!

Valbuena has no business hitting anywhere above the 6th spot. 

[Glen]

Bad Shoemaker.

[tdawg87]

Losing 2 of 3 to the Marlins. Sounds about right. 

[eligrba4ever]

GO HALOS!! Go Matt Shoemaker!!!

Turn Saturday's victory into a winning streak that you can fly home with today. Move over .500 again!

Go Mike Trout!!!! Keep on clubbin'! Go Mike Trout's Supporting Cast!!! Make it harder to walk him.

[eligrba4ever]

As I was getting started, Stanton parks one at Exit 106. 1-0 Miami. Come on, Shoe!!

[TroutField]

You guys think if we stay in the Wild card hunt, Eppler will get a hitter to pair up with Trout? Or does he stay on course and just let it play out, and wait for the offseason to improve so we can make a run next year?

Not sure we really have the pieces for that. I hope he stays pat this year, honestly.

And what kind of "hitter" that we don't already have would be available to "pair up with Trout?"

[Angelsjunky]

The Athletics will probably try to sell high on Yonder Alonso, who is possibly having a late breakout season.

Depending upon if the Tigers improve, JD Martinez may be available.

Wait, forget all that: MIKE NAPOLI

 

[tdawg87]

Urena with a season high in strikeouts and we're in the 3rd inning. 

[Troll Daddy]

[eligrba4ever]

Way to make contact, Shoe, and force that pitcher to mess up on a fielder's choice!!!

GO TROUT!!! Hit GS No, 5!!!!

[eligrba4ever]

Awwww, Mike! No magic yet today. Sigh. The comedown from that is steep.

[tdawg87]

That was your chance, Trout.

Pretty much anybody we could get would improve 2nd, 1st, and DH. So what's the question? 

[JAHV76]

Maldonado with a two run homer!! 

[JustATroutFan]

With Trout 0-2 so far, he has a .297/.478/.797 slash line in 90 plate appearances in 20 games this month. Pretty amazing that he's not hitting at least .300 despite hitting a large amount of home runs with 9. BABIP was at .270 entering his game and went down again with that groundnut with the bases loaded. So I guess, according to BABIP, Trout is getting "unlucky?

Easy to be glib. Much more difficult to come up with star talent in the middle of the season.

[eligrba4ever]

Nice bomb, Maldonado!!! 2-1 Angels. BTW.

[eligrba4ever]

Smart double steal by Marte and Fontana. Hope it can be cashed in.

[eligrba4ever]

Go Simba!! Cash this jackpot!
