Turd. 3-1 count. Great hitters count. And even had he got the bunt down properly they would've walked Trout intentionally.
F off Mike

Keep far away from rotation. Far, far away.

He hasn't done much of anything since April. And certainly not what was expected from him. And he hasn't played a game in over a month.
Why exactly is he playing?

A trained monkey could've out managed Scioscia tonight

It's on both Scioscia and the offense. Scioscia went full retard tonight

This team is so getting swept. Game 3 is an auto loss

Street only threw 11 pitches. Meat of their order up. Not sure why he couldn't go another

Street only threw 11 pitches. No reason he can't go another if the Angels fail to score here

Look at Pujols' stats. Sigh.

Gott have quick trigger with Weav here if he gives up a hit or a walk

Stupid crowd make some damn noise u lazy idiots

This crowd is a joke though.

Nice slide

Epic collapse during the regular season capped by an epic choke in the WC game to end their season. Couldn't have ended better

And their rotation isn't scary at all. They have some good arms but certainly not something that should strike fear in anyone. And a guy like Duffy has an artificially low ERA

COLLAPSE COMPLETED. BYEBYE

A loss here would be the perfect end to the A's season

Good shit. This A's collapse needs to end properly

Defensive metrics are fickle. And flawed. And you're talking about a one-year sample. A one-year trend doesn't mean much, anyway. Do you really believe Trout is a terrible defensive CF, though? Maybe I'm biased and my eyes are deceiving me... but from watching Trout play I have not seen anything that would make me think he's awful defensively. Otherwise, the rest of the center fielders in the league must be amazing defensively if Trout is nearly 10 runs below the average defensive CF.
I also don't think it's entirely Trout's fault that he isn't running more and using his speed to his advantage. Take Pujols out of the 3-spot and I bet you would see a different Trout on the bases. Trout isn't even trying, for whatever reason. I think that has a lot to do with Pujols.
Offensively, he wasn't as good as last year.. but when you're on top of the wRC+ leaderboard it's hard to complain too much. I still prefer the previous version of Trout, though.

That's probably accurate. I think he changed his approach coming into the season wanting to be a true HR hitter. There's plenty of evidence that suggests this. Perhaps he was miffed from not winning MVP in 2012-2013.
Can't really complain with the results... though I still way prefer the previous version of Trout.
