Mike Trout has reached base safely in 17 of his 18 games played to start 2021. He returned to the Angels lineup last night after missing three games and recorded his 20th career 4+ hit game; in Angels history only Garret Anderson (31) and Tim Salmon (21) have more 4+ hit games.

Rob Friedman is the best. 

He really details how talented these pitchers are, but also brings some visual perspective how hard it is to hit off of these guys.

Angels lead the American League and rank tied for second in the Majors with 32 home runs this season... Only the Reds (34) have hit more...The Angels have hit 17 home runs across their last nine games and have multiple HR in five games in that span.

And theyve had a few rescheduled games...

I love these graphics

Just being a fan, its easy to go "WTF was he swinging at". This makes you realize how little time a hitter has to decide, and how deceptive different pitches are

Is it just me or did his breaking stuff look particularly nasty last night? That last pitch...

Hey guys, I thought I was banned but I guess I have been given another chance, thanks.

Love seeing all the cry babies change their tune these past few games, haha.

Asians are generally pretty competitive around each other. I like this.

When Ohtani throws outside the zone to benboom, benboom is probably like "it was close enough, dude, lets eat pizza". When ohtani throws under 100 on his 4 seamer, suzuki probably brings up his grades from jr high

Just finished up dinner and making our way over to the stadium. Waiting on Kurt (crampknees) that wanted to put his leftover steak in his room refrigerator.

Old people.
