It's less dangerous to walk Trout and deal with Justin than pitch to him. 

Interesting......

Can't believe people can't follow the game in progress.

If Trout walked, Upton hit a sac fly, and Pujols hit a single, it would be 4-2.

Mike Trout is having the season of a lifetime. 

Quite literally. On the year, he has more fWAR than the Angel career numbers of Mark Trumbo, Kendrys Morales, Juan Rivera, Jeff DaVanon, Joe Saunders and obviously many more. And it's June. 

[GrittyVeterans]

Been watching Trout since he was 19 and I’m still stunned by how good he is

If I'm not mistaken, somebody pitched around Trout with the bases jammed earlier this season. I don't recall what happened next.

[Waybackman]

Bedrosian alert

There's the game on the field and the game on this board.

A run scored. 

You're welcome.

[Angel Oracle]

Better not blow this, BadRock!!!!

[aznhockeyguy]

Trout is a god.

[BackUpTheTruck]

Do we pitch Bedrosian in the 7th, or would that be pushing our luck?

[Blarg]

Not to put a damper on the game but we are asking the bullpen to cover 5 innings of work and not meltdown.

Now back to your regularly scheduled Troutmania.

I look forward to the day when this lineup can have 8 of 9 hitters with at least a .700 OPS.

Maybe when I turn 80?????

Just need to fill that elusive RF hole.....

SS	Simmons, A	0.827
CF	Trout, M	1.152

I don't believe you.

Assuming snark, but it's still a guy with a league average bat, good defense, with over 3.5x as many opportunities to provide value as Trout has had in 2.5 months. 

Wasn't doing the normal "here's all the HOFers careers he passed." Just thought it was interesting to compare less than a half season to a career.

I would be ok with that if the Angels score 5 runs in the bottom of this inning.

[UndertheHalo]

Every time Bedrosian doesn’t F*ck up everything I’m surprised. 

A good omen this is.

Yeah he’s locked wouldn’t be surprised if he still got pitched off the plate there hoping he’d chase or walk
