He has definitely had some big hits in the 9th - that home run against St. Louis a few weeks ago comes to mind. Hell, that leadoff single tonight could have been huge, but no one even moved him over.

My point was more that it has been a depressing last few years with this team and when I hear Gubi say that Trout's last walkoff was in 2015 - or hear him mention for the 500th time Trout's grand slam against Chris Sale, which will be nine years ago in a week - it makes me realize just how long it has been since I have felt true excitement being an Angels fan. 

The last really exciting AND huge hit for us was Mathis's walk-off double in the 2009 ALCS against the Yankees.

I can't recall any other moment equal to that since then.

I certainly get your point... but I loved the 2014 and '15 seasons, even though both ended in disappointment. Trout's walkoffs on 4th of July 2014 or against the Red Sox in July 2015, or the aforementioned grand slam off Sale, or the rally against Rodney in 2014 with Trout and Pujols shooting mock arrows at each other... I still view those moments with lots of excitement. Because it felt like the team at least had a chance to do something those seasons. And I haven't felt that since.

I really like this year's team. It FEELS like it should have a lot better record than it does. And that sucks. 

Full disclosure: I drank a bottle of wine while watching the game last night. This season is not actually depressing. Just disappointing... so far. There is still plenty of time.
