As the record improves without Trout, will the discussion about the benefits of trading Trout for a huge haul start gaining traction.

Win pct Before trout injury .490

after trout injury .667

trade trout!!

I'm sure pujols will call this a wildly successful game. Only one thing matters for him now.  

6.1 scoreless from bullpen.  Nice. 

Bad?   Yes.  But at least they arent going to pull the conservative treatment for a month and when that fails surgery bit.  He needs it, get it asap. 

Run differential is a stupid stat

Making quick work.  

Drinking game.  Drink every time you say I wish trout were playing.  

Trout realized this was the only way to get the team bad enough for a really high draft pick to get himself some help.  He is all team.  

Sprains are torn ligaments.  The severity of the sprain indicates the degree of damage.  Complete tears require surgery.  

Isn't a game against Vance Worley almost s must win?   I mean , Vance Worley....

Whenever anyone comes for help they are given a tape of Mike trout and told "Do this."

Every Tiger in their lineup is hitting below their career average.  Uptown is very close.  Not counting J D Martinez with his 6 at bats so far. 

Also so does anyone know where to find the stat for plate appearances with runners on base and in scoring position?

At least they made Zimmerman work in the first......

Just look at this years examples, the twins, reds, and Rockies.  Every year managers on some teams are able to squeeze much more than they should out of the roster their given.  Scioscia doesn't seem to be able to do that. No one seems to rise above their talent and often underperform.  How many examples can you site of both players coming here and doing worse and leaving and thriving.  

Zach Greinke 7 innings into no hitter. 

Scioscia:  cmon everyone Trout can't do this alone.  

(To trout) scioscia:  you'll have to do this yourself. 

The fearful effect of the unibrow wore off. 

Hitting coaches don't make hitters at this level.  Hitting coaches are supposed to help slumping hitters find what might be going wrong to turn things around.  Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be happening hence the question.   What is he doing?

If you only make contact 3 out of 10 times you would be the worst hitter in baseball history. 

Depends what you do with those three times.  If you hit home runs you'd be the best hitter in history.  

Same question for him then.  Name a better job anywhere than full time DH.  

Question:   If a player has a WAR of 4.0 and they promote s guy from the minors who posts a WAR of 2.0, should the first guys WAR really be 2?

Why does a full time designated hitter need a day off?   Really?

Can anyone else see a 1 year deal for Weaver forthcoming since there is no one else to pitch?
