I love having Trout lead off innings.

It is incredible.  I honestly don’t think I can recall any angel player as worthless at the plate.  And holy shit is that special.  The Angels have had some HORRIBLE hitters over the last 20 years. 

Edgardo Alfonzo hit .100 in 52 PA in 2006 for the Angels... Oh the memories.

[TroutField]

Pretty solid game so far by Trop and the offense, this Facebook streaming deal is so awful. The announcers are terrible 

[T.G.]

About Edgardo Alfonzo... they Angels traded Finley to the Giants for him and got fleeced....

After that last AB, dude is now sporting a .152/.189/.192 line with a .381 OPS in 151 AB. 3 XBH all season long with only 1 since opening day. Crazy

Tropeano is dealing.  That’s good to see.

Ya but 50 AB’s.  Calhoun is a regular.  

Don’t even get me started on the other greats we’ve had getting regular playing time. 

[UndertheHalo]

Yes.  The Kinsler Calhoun power duo is starting to really bother me. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Trop 51 pitches thru 4 innings. lowered ERA below 4.0

[rafibomb]

LOL showing a picture of Kaleb Cowart for Cozart

[Hubs]

Calhoun needs to go to the minors for a week or two. (after a DL Stint). If you all remember it worked magic on Howie Kendrick in like 2010 and Chone Figgins in 2007 or 08.. He'd have to consent to the "rehab" assignment, as that's the only way he can be optioned in his sixth year.

 

[aznhockeyguy]

Calhoun is even worse than Espinosa.  

Calhoun: 157 PAs  .154/.191/.195  41K's  

Espinosa: 254 PAs .162/.237/.276 91K's

Last night's defensive play insures he plays more now 

[TroutField]

Damn Eugenio Suarez hit a grand slam today, OPS of .938 so far this year. Too bad we couldn’t swing a trade and plug him at 3rd and move Cozart to 2nd

[Taylor]

Nice, Trout!

Espinosa hit .162 last season in 228 AB but had a much higher OPS than what Calhoun has right now.

[Jason]

Woo hoo! Barely but it counts

[T.G.]

Cheap homer... 

[fan_since79]

Trout emerging from slump!

Good news!

[rafibomb]

Apparently Cozart learned how to bat left-handed?

Looks like an upper decker in the books.

Lol! Upton getting cheated with the strikes

Racist Facebook thinking all white people look the same

[T.G.]

That homer was brought to you by Acceptance Auto Insurance according to Terry Smith.  Wow... AM 830 really desperate for sponsors... Never heard of them.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

ATSH (Another Trout solo homer.)

I'll take it!
