Yet Another Reason to Like Trout

[fan_since79]

In the last 13 games in which the Angels have a 4-9 record.

Mike Trout: 13 hits in 36 AB, 11 walks. 

.361 BA, .510 OBP

The rest of the team, including a rookie sensation and a first-ballot Hall of Famer: 59-349, 21 walks

.169 BA, .216 OBP

The absolute best surrounded by absolute hot garbage. How do u wake up every day knowing 7 other guys in the line up are about to do nothing to help you score runs.

Last September was the reverse, how did 8 guys wake up knowing in a playoff race one guy isnt going to do anything to help score runs.

Wondering who you're referring to because there were a ton of guys who didn't contribute at all during September.

Just in time for a Ruthian-like month of M-A-Y!

Once the Dirty Half Dozen start hitting, then Trout, Ohtani, and Simba won't feel overburdened doing it all themselves at the plate.

For starters he doesn’t wake up being a total bitch.

Did Ruth ever walk four times in one game? Trout has already started his Troutian month.

To be fair, Trout is slumping in the last 7 games. .154 AVG, .604 OPS

How would that be a total bitch? His teammates aren’t helping him at all. One regular hitter outside of Trout is above a 300 obp. 1!!!!

I don't know, but one thing Ruth never did is strike out four times in a game.

Are you sure about that? I've got a .211 BA and .851 OPS.

I agree.

I saw something last night that gave me another reason to respect Trout. It was later in the game and the team was up 7 or 8 runs. He had two men on and some meatballs to swing at to pad his stats, but he worked a walk to give JUP a chance. The dude has no ego, is selfless at the plate.
