if we lose ohtani in free agency i'm a big on trading trout (always have been)

I've thought about that, too, but I kinda doubt he'd have the value that some people think he might unless the Angels agree to pay ~50% of his salary--and at that point, I'd rather just keep him.

What if he asks for a trade though? Just theoretically.

solid strikeout squid

[VladdyforHOF]

Renfroe grounded out with a runner on 2nd? Shocking.

[Amazing Larry]

The Velasquez show. 

[LAA Road Tripper]

I know that Velasquez isn’t a very good hitter, MLB.com. But you don’t gotta be so mean.

[VladdyforHOF]

The 2 runs scored so far are from solo HRs? Shocking.

Great input. I'm not sure what's funny! Giolito won't make it past 6 innings pitched yet again because of pitch count and there's a double header tomorrow. None of these starting pitchers on this team understand the importance of going deep into games! Nothing ever changes on this team!

[ArkyAngelsFan]

Welcome back, Mike.

And Drury and Moustakas

[No Roles]

we rushed trout back for this?? smh !!! sorry i've always felt trout is one of the most overrated players of all time !!! against popular opinion but i've never been a fan of his inability to hit decent pitching or with risp in the clutch...

It’s being 3 outs into the game and coming to the conclusion that they are mailing it in. When you ACTUALLY talk baseball you bring actual value. When you say emotional shit, well….

Egregious strike three call on Drury.
