That should be our gimmick. If we can't win, just start fights with everyone. Will add some entertainment, at the very least.

You know, like at least start a fight at the bar if you can't get any chicks. 

[Sully151]

6 strike outs for Trout. 

[Stradling]

Next time we want to pretend Trout deserves the playoffs watch a game like today.

I'm fine with becoming the villains of MLB. Tired of losing so maybe win some damn fights. Teach these guys MMA. I wanna see Syndergaard choke out Altuve.

But we can't blame him for anything.

As long as Syndergaard has enough time to fix his hair in between choke attempts.

And now, Trout is even K’ing looking with RISP.

I know people don't want to know or accept this but Trout is in another slump. He is something like 2 for his last 18 with way too many strikeouts.

Can’t blame the guy. Hard to play well when you’re surrounded by piles of shit. I don’t see a path for this team to get back on track since every facet of the organization seems so dysfunctional and unstable.

Fuck that.

[LAA Road Tripper]

If you have 95+ stuff and have confidence you can hit the upper zone, you can strike out Trout almost every time. Even when if he knows it’s coming. As great as he is, that’s been a hole in his game and it seems to be getting bigger. The pitcher’s problem is if he misses at all, he pays. 

[Docwaukee]

I knew this team had it's holes, but damn they are way more disappointing than I ever expected.

Gonna laugh at trout when he requests a trade after this season is over.

Why would he request a trade when he could have left as a free agent? He played until club control knowing how crappy the ORG was and still decided to resign. He would have been paid the same or more by a lot of teams. He likes playing on the Angels despite them not winning. It's not all that important to him or he would have left us years ago.

Go ahead. Angels can finish in 4th place every year with or without him.  I’m over his slumping although I expect him to start hitting vs Miami and Baltimore.  Never come up big vs the good teams.  I think if/when he ever makes the postseason again he will disappoint. Too many good pitchers for him.

This is not a good take.

Maybe it’s just my frustration but I believe his decline is starting and he’s too damn streaky.

Wants looks good today…

[fan_since79]

Wantz should have received a longer suspension. Geez.

My afternoon just freed up. I think I'll go fishing.

Santa Ana Lake? 

[Chuck]

Is it just me or does this team look completely apathetic? When they strikeout they just hurry up back up to the dugout. When they give up runs, no big deal. Whatever. 

I want to see some pissed off faces & emotion, some fire and passion. Crack a fucking bat over their knees when they K like Chili Davis. So some F'n accountability. /rant
