MIke Trout sucks....

[Angelsjunky]

...since hitting those two home runs, he's gone 3-25, a .120 BA. Dude is ice cold - worst slump of the year for him.

Bad timing, Mikey. Just sayin.

[stormngt]

Should have traded him while his value  was high 

[nate]

I noticed he is pulling off the ball a little bit, very unlike him.

This thread is sure to turn it around though

[Troll Daddy]

DUH

[Dick B Back]

And Simmons has slowed down too. Unfortunate timing.

[m0nkey]

Shut up, douche

[JustATroutFan]

Trying to pull the ball every single time up when he is hitting like in 2014. DFA Trout!

[Dtwncbad]

He isn't getting his front door down and he isn't keeping his front shoulder on the ball long enough.

[Blarg]

Maybe All Star Home Run Champion Aaron Judge can give him some pointers.

[Glen]

Isn't August typically his worst month?  If only I could look that up somehow.

[Angels#1Fan]

No MVP this year.

Should have traded him when we had the chance.

September is but August is second. Still has a monster slash line in his career in August at a .292/.410/.536.

[Billy_Ball]

August 2015 especially, but I remember he had the wrist injury.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Seems like he's getting pitched up in the zone more often, and inside too. Not getting great contact with those pitches lately.

Are you looking at the same thing we're looking at?

[Dtwncbad]

My phone is so annoying.  It will change properly spelled English words into other words because it is "smart".

Front foot.

[Blarg]

I think your phone had it right all along it's all about placing the foot down correctly.

Just think, we could've gotten an entire bullpen for him. Too late now though

In all seriousness, this is why I've never been as high on Trout as others. I just don't see that October killer instinct in him.  He's TOO "nice".  He tails off every August and September like clockwork and his one post season appearance was terrible.  I watched Cabrera from the beginning and he hit a walk off HR in his first game, helped the Marlins (!) win a WS by taking Roger Clemens deep after a close pitch and staring Clemens down, THAT is killer instinct. He's lost it and look at him now.  Terrible.  David Freese, a very average player,  had killer instinct.  Kirk Gibson had killer instinct.  That is what this team needs, someone like a KC Royals player who never gives up and will LEAD this team to the promised land.  Forget Upton, sign a Royal or two and if we have the money left over for Trout,  great.  If not, oh well.  He's had enough time to mature now and I'm just not seeing it.  Get a haul for him while the gettin's good.  Otherwise you can rinse and repeat this season, over and over.  We can't afford him, and the pitching we need, and all the other holes....and our farm doesn't have the answers either.

Shut the fuck up.

Disrespectful. So he had one bad series in the postseason. Big deal, a lot of great players who are in the Hall of Fame had bad career postseasason numbers as well. Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, Roger Hornsby, Rod Carew, the list goes on and on. And like almost every players who have great overall postseason numbers have had bad series/postseason before. Do they all lack the killer instinct then? Please, judging someone on one bad series/postseason is dumb.And false, he doesn't tail off every August and September. You're just one of those dudes who only remember Trout's bad August and September. But Trout has had great Augusts and Septembers before.
