Maybe my memory is poor but I don’t remember the last time Trout was this bad for this long of a stretch. I really hope we don’t start hearing a DJ for mvp rhetoric across social media. 

After he hurt his wrist in 2015, he hit .218 for the month of August. 

In late 2017, he was so crappy-by-his-standards that his batting average went from .348 to .307 in the span of just over five weeks. (He hit .237 in September of that season.)

This stretch will pass, too. But it still sucks to watch this team when he's slumping.

Umpires have "sucked" for 150 years at least in the eyes of somebody in every game ever played.

I remember the month after his wrist injury but I didn’t really count that given the circumstances. I forgot about that September though so thanks for reminding me! I expect it to pass just like others nuts hopefully soon so others don’t enter the mvp conversation.

 

also wow a big hit! Woooo

[eligrba4ever]

GOODY GOODY GUMDROPS!!!!

[daygloman]

A win keeps our West elimination number at 7. The WC number started tonight at 17.

[eligrba4ever]

Well, that was quick 

.

[eligrba4ever]

Whew!!! No 4-out "save" tonight. The problem with "4-out saves" is that they are too frequently not saves at all with the Angels.

[daygloman]

Nice!

Trout leads the leagues!

[Justin]

Lord, that sounded nice off the bat. 

[eligrba4ever]

TROUT!!! 43!!!
