I thought the bullpen is supposed to be improved. 

It is. This time last year this game would be 15-2 instead of 12-2

Well there’s Arte, El Chapo and who else?

Doesn't matter as long as Billy Joel was right about the young.

Naw this is straight up embarrassing. I don’t care how much money he makes, there are athletes that make millions but fires their team up when they need it… if Trouts not gonna do that after this embarrassment of a game, he’s not a true leader and this shouldn’t be his team. Period. 

Trout doesn’t strike me as the leader type. Not that that’s a bad thing. I don’t think this team even has a leader. 

[Mark68]

This team looks like my car did last night.

What’s the point of taking Trout out now?

LOL @ the snowman 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Lol happy Birthday Jo! Here's another K to start the season...

[Angelsjunky]

Putting Adell in there for a birthday at-bat is just cruel.

Apparently this is “Trouts team” according to the reining MVP.. I mean I don’t see much leading going on right now. Or ever really. I don’t think I’ve seen Trout show true leadership skills on the field once. Or that I can remember.

So he doesn’t hurt his vagina again.

He's injury prone. No need to keep him in there.

That’ll happen either way

I agree. That’s my point. It’s just lip service.

Sure but why let Ohtani bat?

So is pretending you can see leadership as a fan. 

[Amazing Larry]

What’s the earliest closed door meeting this club has had? Maybe Fletcher can add some insight.

He's not fragile like Trout.

Hey, remember, y'all. The 2002 team started 6-14.
