Trumbo has a 5 hit night and his OBP is STILL under .300

[Halos of Anaheim]

Great game and maybe he's turned the tide, but wow that's a huge indicate of how bad he's been this year.

[SoWhat]

OPS went up 21 points from .749 to .770

[fan_since79]

He's going to have a monster final two weeks and the team will take him off the trading table.

 

We'll have to trade for good pitching some other way.

[Mark68]

By all means, we need another Trumbo thread tonight.

[Halos of Anaheim]

We should try and trade him to the Blue Jays.

[fan_since79]

Trumbo to Tampa for Alex Cobb.

[SoWhat]

Tampa would trade Price before Cobb because of financial reasons

[mtangelsfan]

Trumbo goes 5 for 5 yet I'll still complain about it.

 

Wonderful.

[YouthofToday]

Kudos to Trumbo for an excellent night at the plate.

Rays want players with 0 service time.

Dude, you've been off crack for a few weeks now and rehab is going great and all, but rememeber how much crack you used to do?  Do ya?  'Cause it was a lot, man!  You were always so wasted.

How about we celebrate a win and an outstanding offensive performance from one of our best players instead of pointing out the negative aspect of it.

Impressive performance to say the least

Well, frankly, the site has been very negative lately. We can't find happiness in even the small things and most threads turn into brawls over what would normally be reasonable conversations about the many aspects of Angels baseball. I understand that people are deeply disappointed about this season (and the previous three before them) but, in the end, this is just a game and I like to come here to have some intelligent conversations about the team and not have it devolve into "Player X sucks!", "Fire blankety blank!", and "So and so is so stupid!", etc.

 

This is my frustration.

Had I just discovered math this morning, I'd also be shocked by this.

lol this makes no sense, but nice try.

[bloodbrother]

He can't get on base. We all know that

 

he had a great game today though so come on. Do we really gotta point out the flaws in his game after a day like this?

[mancini79]

Trumbo could have OBP .400 and 50 HRs

 

 

But he's still a red head.

[Erstad Grit]

Trumbo has been bad this year? Wow. Pretty hyperbolic are you?

Trumbo could hit 50 HRs with an OBP of .299

 

But he still can't get on base.

Hamilton has played bad. Trumbo? Atrocious.

truth.

[Palomar]

Can't we just savor this performance and win?  It's not like we have had much opportunity this season.  There is always tomorrow for those who thrive on the negativity.  Great night Trumbo!!!

Trumbo hasn't played bad. He's had a Trumbo season. This is who he is. He's a decent starter. His BABIP suggests that he's gotten a little unlucky this year too. He's a .255/.310/.490 guy at best I think. That's not bad, but it's not great for a mostly bat player.

[Troll Daddy]

Trumbo has the first five hits and five runs game in franchise history.

Congrats!
