The Angels are letting Mike Trout watch his Eagles fly.....

[Chuck]

You good with this? Is this just because we're eliminated? Would they let him have Sunday off during a playoff run in September/October?

Thoughts?

 

Interesting.... #Angels Mike Trout has not started the past Sundays, the same time his Philadelphia #Eagles have played. The Eagles first game of the season, Trout attended on TNF. Things that make you go hmmm.

Let him soak in the Super Bowl title aftermath.

Until the Rams play the Eggles later on this year.

Keeping him happy so he'll sign an extension. Eppler probably buys his tickets.

Sunday has generally been the day off for regulars when they get one.  I bet Trout is in the dugout and won't be watching the football game. 

[ScottT]

Dude is on fire, though.... kinda lame that he is sitting.

I was disappointed to not see him in the lineup when I attended last Sunday's game... I mean he's one of just a few reasons to go to a game at this point.

Other than this reason I don't have a problem with letting him rest and keeping him happy and content. It makes no material difference for our success this season and potentially moves us up the draft rank before season's end. Sorry you didn't get to see him though ALF, they should at least advertise his absence in advance (which they won't do because of ticket sales sadly).

If he's at the game I have a problem.

If he's in the dug out, then no. We are playing for nothing. No need to risk a injury of either sorts, major or nagging.

[AngelStew43]

No problem with this at all.  We are not in contention. If we were, Trout would be in there.

[Angelsjunky]

Trout obviously doesn’t care about getting to 10 fWAR. What the F*ck is wrong with that guy?

[ScottT]

Trout probably wanted to play. 

[mulwin444]

7 games left after today, million games out...

Don't care if the players don't care.  Seems his absence means one of the AAAA/Prospects gets to start so let them get some ABs while they are still on the 40man

[ScottT]

Trout probably cares.

[Palomar]

The A's might care. 

 

[UndertheHalo]

I think it’s perfect.  The season is over.  The L’s help the team more then wins.  Trout is happy. There’s zero negative here.

Mike could retire from baseball and be a running back for the Eagles

. . . and suck.

Meanwhile Betts is 4-4 2 runs 1 rbi 

[Lou]

. . . and his OPS is still lower than Trout's

Come on, Lou, don't confuse Trolldaddy with those long, three letter acronyms.
