I miss good Mike Trout

[Angelsjunky]

Since returning from injury:

15 games, 70 PA, 1 HR, .226/.414/.340, 112 wRC+

Dude is...mediocre. wtf.

Contract getting to his head?

Needs TJS?

What gives, Mike? 

Show me the money!

What have you done for me lately?!

Etc, etc.

He seems off to me also.  His lifetime average is. 306.  I wonder if he will hang it up before it goes below .300.

Trout skus.

Maybe he can pick up some tips from absolute RBI god Tommy LaStella

[zenmaster]

He's bad. Might be done?

[Angel Dog and Beer]

12 more years of this?

[Dick Enberg]

I have a feeling he'll go on a tear during the road trip. Mexico City, Detroit, Baltimore, all very friendly hitters parks

[Jay]

dehydrated, nothing to worry about.

4 full terms is Trumponian in nature!

I am sure even Trout can get a little frustrated with not being pitched to.  He's being busted up and in a ton.  He's already been hit 4 times and almost several other times.  

He's also got a .288 BABIP right now.  about 60 points lower than his career avg.  for sure his timing is off.

I can name about 25 other teams that would gladly take the “Bad Mike Trout” off our hands.

Only 25?

Yeah teams like the Marlins and A’s would probably still pass. Cheap bastards!

Not Mexico City ( 7,382′ above sea level) 2000' higher than Coors field.

You mean Monterrey (1,772′ above sea level)...

UGH! Trout still will shred! Just don't drink the water!

[Make Angels Great Again]

Our home run leaders are tommy lastella and kole calhoun.

 

Trout is a scrub.

I think with Ohtani coming back and hopefully hitting behind Trout, he may see more pitches to hit.  Probably not a whole lot, but more than he is now.  

Also, Trout seems to come back from injuries slowly.  But this is a new month, I bet he gets hot soon.

Good Mike Trout is the only Trout that exists. So your premise is wrong.

[John Taylor]

i swear there's a thread like this every year, and it always seems to happen when he comes back from injury, then Mike Trout starts doing Mike Trout things, and we forget about it. I actually hadn't notice him playing particularly bad or anything.

 

"Bad" Mike Trout is still better than "Good" everyone else. I'm content.

I agree with this. I just wish that they could get him some help and drop him down to the 3rd or 4th spot and watch his stats skyrocket. History shows that the greatest sluggers in MLB hit 3rd or 4th spot. 

He needs more opportunities wRISP.

I agree, I'd like to see him in the 3 or 4 hole, ideally batting 3rd.
