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

Washington just commented “You gotta swing the bat.”

Now the TG is in bed, I can post.

He should have told Trout that BEFORE he went up to bat.

What a shitty night

After such a hot start with hopes of a big comeback year, a  sudden fall off the cliff by Trout.

Sorry man. I'm a Denver sports fan that's not into basketball but I know what happened.. My family is all excited about the Nuggets game and I'm stewing about the Angels still.

Nuggets gona win 3 or 4 in a row. Jokic is maybe the best big man of all time. I hate them so much.

On our way to breaking the 14-loss streak a few years ago.

A crushing loss tonight.

Refs stole the game from the Lakers near the end.

He said Schanuel "has to learn those types of experiences. So I left him in there."

Trout needs to pull the tampon out of his vagina and come through in clutch situations or he might as well be the Halos lifetime Vernon Wells of stats.

I love the kid and want the best for him. But if he can't come through exactly when we need it most he's pretty useless except for when he pads his stats when it doesn't produce wins.

Keeping the bat on your shoulder in that situation is unacceptable.

So I guess Washington is treating it like a rebuilding team.

I hope Ron can see the fire in Adell's belly like we can see the tacos, rice and beans in Jose belly.

A ticky tac foul and a no call could've both gone differently

[HeavenlyHalos]

lmao at Lakers fans blaming the refs as if they have helped them all freaking season with that crazy FT disparity. Always a good day when Lebron loses. Better day when he retires.

Reminds me of all those fans who complain for the umpires determining the outcomes of games based on balls and strikes calls. As for the Lakers? They are what they are. A very average team. They made the playoffs via the play-in and made it by the skin of their teeth. They had a free throw disparity simply because they had no toughness in the low post.

Offseason pointed in this direction and while they'll never outright say it, it's good to see that this is likely the vision. It's about time they actually executed a proper rebuild after nearly a decade of simply trying to stick bandaids on the MLB roster. I'm just not sure I trust Arte to remain patient with it and any progress goes up in flames

Sort of sounds like it there, but it's not consistent with his daily lineups.

[Angel Oracle]

Bright side is Detmers going 7 and limiting bullpen use.

He’s averaged right about at 6 innings per start.   Do that all season, and it’s a good thing.

They could sign Burnes and Kim after this season, and possibly still be under the tax threshold.

Continue to give the young guys lots of playing time in 2024 to see what you have for 2025.

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

 

Honestly, it really doesn't matter this year. He could be on fire for the entire season, and they will still be terrible.
