[Pbonetheman]

Glad to say I went today!

He is able to accomplish these amazing feats because he eats at Subway.

[Hollyw00d]

Trout is going to have a monster June.

 

and July, and August, etc...

 

he has a 1.100 ops in may.   just sick numbers...

 

bryce who???

Found this little tidbit:

 

Since RBI became official in 1920, only two other players have hit for the cycle in a game where they also drove in five or more runs AND stole at least one base. And it's been more than 80 years. Before Mike Trout tonight, those other two players were Tony Lazzeri of the Yankees (vs Athletics, June 3, 1932) and Babe Herman of the Dodgers (vs Reds, May 18, 1931).

[Tank]

He's a slacker - only went 4 for 5, cycle and a SB.  Pffft..

Probably would've done better if he wasn't eating all of that fattening food from subway.

[Tank]

I guess we're getting our $500K worth. Angels should be ashamed when they are paying Blanton $7.5M.

That's cuz Blanton is 15 xs better tha- sorry, I can't finish the thought.

[joeywings]

Just wait till we loose tomorrow

We're loose now and we won't lose tomorrow.

We need a long winning streak for a change.

Seriously Ellowelled....You got some great one liners, my man...

[mancini79]

Congrats to Trout. Just think if Hamilton also pulled off the feat.

[Halos of Anaheim]

I feel so good, imagine how Trout feels about this feat.

I believe the Angels should have given Trout at least one Wells-game worth of salary as a raise ($130k). The gave Salmon a raise to $600k 20 years ago so there's no team precedent against giving raises to pre-arbitration players. 

 

I can understand why the club may not want to give $1M+, that might start to eat into their leverage as far as Trout's willigness to accept a long term extension, but a bump of $20k is overly stingy given the countless millions of dollars the club has eaten on garbage contracts.

That was great to watch.

 

The most impressive part of it all?

 

His speed, or it wouldn't have happened.  Especially the single.

 

Less Big Macs, More cycles please.

[SmallSampleSize]

Reading ESPN comments are always good for a laugh.

If the world was given an enema, the tube would be 
stuck in Seattle.

Ouch.

Yep. All parts of his game were on full display tonight. The triple and the single were accomplished because of his insane speed, and then that HR was simply just a display of the type of strength he has. Seriously couldn't believe how much that ball carried to RCF considering how low it was

 

Give this guy a lifetime contract...I don't care what the cost. They can never let a talent like this get away. He's the best talent this org has ever produced and for our sake and the rest of baseball's sake, hopefully he stays healthy for his career

[LAAFANofLA]

Hits for the cycle on Mike Trout Pint glass night....how much better can it get?

[ScottT]

Mike Trout!

They should've followed Rojas' advice and filled 'em up

Slow dooowwwnn.     I love the guy too but lets not forget the start of the season compared to last season.  I still don't have a good sense of where his norms will be.

 

But...he definitely is the most exciting player on the team.

 

Lesson learned.  Give me a youthful handful of Trouts and Trumbos over Pujols' and Hamiltons.

[vlad27]

Truly awesome! Trout rules ! Hey Chuck can I change m my user name ? Trout27 has a nice ring to it ......

I missed it.  I was reading the Walking Dead.

 

Michonne cut some zombie's heads off.

That is both great...

 

...and scary.

 

If you came at me on that bike and yelled BRO!, I'd feel the sudden need to chop firewood.

Right before that 2-0 pitch, I just had a feeling he'd hit it out. I went nuts in my room right when the ball met the bat. Baseball is an amazing piece of art and we're witnessing a true artist at it with Mike Trout.

Even with his slow April start, he's on pace for a 30/30 season to go along with 100/100 in runs/RBI. Doing this in his age 21 season. Only thing stopping him is injury IMO.

Dude my roommate was begging me to come out to the store with him, and I told him I was not going to miss Trout's last at bat. When Gubi was talking about not being surprised if Trout hit the homer, I had a strong feeling he'd do it too.
