Trout was 15 years old at that time.

This has me wondering if a 15 year old Trout might be a better leadoff hitter than a 34 year old Anthony Rendon.

Plus, you could pay the 15 year old Trout with a handful of bubble gum and a box of baseball cards every week.  Rendon we have to pay $740,000 or so every week.

Nice start!

Go Halos!

[Erstad Grit]

C Ya Rendon

Rengifo surprised the right fielder with a long ball.

[Duren, Duren]

Rengifo making his bid to be a starter.

Either way, how could he have played with Vladdy and Erstad?

There's enough room in this baby for both Vladdy and Ersty.

[Duren, Duren]

The bonus of fielders playing deep for Trout. Bloopers fall in. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Come on, Ward!

[CaliAngel]

Nice to see some good at bats in the 1st. If Trout didn't break his bat that might have been out.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Helllllll yeah! Nicely done, Taylor!

[Slegnaac]

Ward!!!!

[daygloman]

Far out!

Go Halos!

[Erstad Grit]

YAY BOYS

[CaliAngel]

Basehits! Basehits! Basehits!

Nice to see them coming through clutch!

1-0 Halos

[HeavenlyHalos]

Lucked out a bit there, Drury juuuuust fast enough

[CaliAngel]

Nice hustle by Drury gets us another run!

[Slegnaac]

YES, Ward making it rough to turn the DP.

[Erstad Grit]

Love the non-strike out there Drury,

27 pitches so far this inning...way to make Puk labor out there to start the game.

[Erstad Grit]

Maybe Puk should be their closer again

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Not many challenges so far

I wonder about the neighborhood play at second. There was no chance the fielder even touched anything close to the bag with the runner coming in hot, on the Drury grounder. Didn't look like an out to me.

Are they still giving the neighborhood play in that circumstance or no?

Neto's hommies had to go to work today.

Okay, let's play, guess which fan is @Inside Pitch. I'm going with the guy in the grey shirt and sunglasses right behind home late.
