Gameday Thread (4/22/24): Orioles @ Angels: Detmers on the mound, Adrianza at 2B, Schanuel leading off

i still believe

Spare me the poor Trout bullshit. That was a pathetic at bat with the game on the line to stop a losing skid. Just staring at strikes.

I think it's time to sit Trout and tell him it's time to get his shit together. Bases loaded with two outs is no time to play umpire on borderline pitches, foul that shit off. 

No swing = Lack of confidence.

Trout up in a clutch situation…

With his usual clutch results. And so many here seem to think that by trading him we would bring in a cache of blue-chip young talent. LOL

[eligrba4ever]

Sigh. Tuesday. Same time. Same channel.

[Angels 1961]

There goes his trade value, plus all my Trout bobbleheads value and my Trout hat one with fish on top. 

[tdawg87]

You know I'm starting to understand why Trout signed his big contract here. 

[Blarg]

It was good to see that bottom lineup produce.

It's getting intolerable seeing the top of the order fail.

Good night.

He does that in every big moment. The pitch doesn’t have to be perfect, Mike. Just get a god damn hit.

1-22?

Looking at strike 3 is a habit with this team at the end of the game

Looking at Strike 1, 2 and 3

That was a Little League at bat.

[No Roles]

This is probably worthless now too. Thanks Trout.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Shades of Pujols.

Yep. He’ll never have to be at the plate during a clutch situation in the playoffs. 4D chess. 

[fan_since79]

What a time for Trout to go into a deep slump.

that trout would have at least taken a swing

[Slegnaac]

3 Career Walk Off hits.

Not Clutch.

[samwum]

For me I think an underrated part of this game was leaving Detmers in for the 7th inning, where he gave up the 4th run. He clearly didn't have his best stuff tonight and that run would have been nice to have back.

[thebloob]

Trout is a career .083 hitter in the playoffs.

I had far more confidence when Pujols was up in a clutch situation than I do with Trout. 

And that's really fucking depressing. 

[AvsBroncosAngels05]

It's April 22nd and the summer is already freeing up. Fuck I'm already in August mode with this team. 

[T.G.]

Trout said it recently... " I need to be better."

Goodnight
