Trout's 2021 May "slump"...

[JustATroutFan]

.211/.400/.526 in 25 plate appearances so far for Trout this month...SMH

So much for May being a month that Trout loves to hit in.

Weren’t you blaming the umps for his slump, yesterday?

[thebloob]

Did you really think he was going to hit .430 for the year?

[Slegnaac]

And it started so good. 

I remember someone post his line as 1.000 / 1.000 / 4.000

Holy Shit!!!  Now that Pujols is gone, are we going to start blaming Trout for all our poor play?

(Don't take it personal JATF, this topic was just posted a bit to soon. Especially since you are one of the largest Trout supporters here I just couldn't resist).

This post would have been much better without the explanation.

I miss the days when Trout was awesome with the bat. Those days reminded me of the scene where Jaws (Trout) was approaching Alex (opposing pitcher) with the music playing. These days, he's making nobodies look good against him on the mound.

Essentially he went from Jaws, pre scuba toothpick, to Jaws 4. Still a killer, but mario van peebles found his weakness (a strobe light, which gives him headaches and makes him roar)(also being around mario van peebles makes him sick)

If we stay in jaws 1, its sad that we killed pujols (that tiger shark) and thought the bad times were over... not hardly

And like pujols, tiger shark is like a trashcan, he'll eat anything. Came up from gulf waters (Dominican). Bite radius = exit velocity. 

Hooper was the nerd in the front office that knew the stats were off. The mayor was Gubi and Lodge, talking about how the tiger shark had to be the one killing everybody, because look at the tiger sharks stats.

Don't start getting down on Trout JATF. You know Trout has always been a sporadic hitter. I think that he sometimes tries to put the team on his back instead of just relaxing and letting the game come to him. If you look, and I'm sure you have, Trout is still leading the league in several categories, or at least he is in the top 10. But I do have to say, I sure wish he would find a way to cut down on his strikeouts.

Well he's not pulling them under with those 3 yellow barrels stuck in his side either. "Not with 3 barrels in his side he can't" Captain Quint.

@JustATroutFan do you have a fathead of Mike Trout ?

[ten ocho recon scout]

Trout just needs to get back to basics. Were so used to him doing amazing things, like eating a boat (jaws 1), eating a helicopter (jaws 2), eating sea world (jaws 3D) and eating a plane (jaws 4).

Just focus on little things he can do when slumping. Eating swimmers (jaws 1). Eating water skiers (jaws 2). Eating scuba divers (jaws 3D). And eating mario van peebles (jaws 4, original ending). 

Then he'll remember hes a franchise. Forget about the posers like harper and betts. They all looked like trout for a second. Just like the movies cujo. Orca. Piranha, etc. But only Mike is gonna make people scared to go in the water, their whole lives.

Lets hope tonight, against the hated crosstown tivals, we see that little Kitner boy spill out all over the dock

I just hope that he doesn't hang out with strikeout king Stanton. It gets annoying to see Trout still striking out at a Stanton-like rate. I mean, Trout has never been an elite contact hitter but he's had seasons (like 2013 and 2017) where he had an above average strikeout rate. It's funny to see Trout still hitting .380 despite being on pace for like 180-190 strikeouts this season. I have been noticing that Trout has these games were he strikes out like three times and Rendon is not in the lineup. It's obvious that Rendon makes Trout even better with the bat. And Trout is still excellent with the bat even without Rendon.

I remember having a bobblehead of Maddux. Not Trout but I once had a poster of Trout hanging on the wall of my living room. 

[tdawg87]

His BABIP was like .550. The highest BABIP ever in a full season is Rod Carew with .409.

This was going to happen.

Jaws wasn't really a scary to me but it was intense and dramatic. Kind of like the Zodiac Killer when he was sneaking up on his victims. Another scary thing about the guy is that he was never caught. Might have those Trout-speed to elude the police.
