Another pop-up for Trout.  I pointed out in another thread a week or so ago that he's been hitting a huge number of them, especially given his history.  13% pop-up rate coming into today, versus 7.2% for his career and a 7.0% MLB average.  And StatCast has him as under on 37.7% of his batted balls, the highest mark of his career (and well above MLB average).

Do you think he’s just going for bombs at this point and we will see more FO and pop ups?

he can’t beat out the infield stiff anymore. Just connect for the fences and pad the stats.

Great. I just heard I went to the same HS as Hicks. Suck less Aaron.

Pitching duel today, maybe?

Detmers has been fun to watch this year. 

[TheLordofOuts]

Throw strikes, get outs.  Is it that simple?

[Slegnaac]

This is what you like to see, 3 innings completed in only 34 pitches.

We're going to hold you personally responsible for his play now.

I knew I shouldn’t have admitted it  

[greginpsca]

Is this going to be one of those games where the Angels strike out 18 times?

[Halo in Chicago]

Crap. Gotta make that out. 

[Jay]

A rare nice play for the Angels.

[Halo in Chicago]

Nice play Rengifo!!

According to the box score it is.

[Halo in Chicago]

Ugh. Bad news bears defense strikes again. 

[Waybackman]

Can this team do anything right?

but without the error he would have been out of the inning before the RBI hit, right?
