Surprise that Guerra is not on the Opening Day roster. He pitched well last season.

Gameday Thread: 3/26 Royals@Angels
JustATroutFan replied to Troll Daddy's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Umpire has already been hit by a ball when Escobar's base hit got the ump. Damn, a lot of drama in Angels game this Spring. No-hitter one game, manager getting ejected the next game, and now an umpire getting hit with a baseball on a base hit. A lot of drama in Angels games, no doubt! -
MIke Trout, future MLB Commish

If you hate/dislike Trout, you don't like the game of baseball. -
Gameday Thread: 3/25 Diamondbacks @ Angels
JustATroutFan replied to Robrock30's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
2 things so far that's notable: Pujols has a home run in this game and it looks like he's ready for Opening Day. On top of that, I just watched Scioscia get ejected by the home plate umpire. Looks like the Angels are ready to start the season. -
Outside of last year, Maybin has never had a good season with the bat. Plus, his BABIP was close to .400, and his career high in BABIP was like .330, so you expect a lot of regression. But he'll still get a lot playing time even if he doesn't have a good year with his bat because he's always had a good glove and has good speed as well. I guess it's just Spring Training. And I remember this guy named "Mike Trout" who's struggles lasted during the early part of the regular season last year and he turned out to be okay, winning another AL MVP.

Gameday Thread: 3/17 Angels @ Rangers

Look on the bright side, Trout struggled early on last year during the regular season and he turned out to be fine and winning another MVP Award. -
Pujols' BABIP has NOT reached the .300 mark in any of his 5 seasons with the Angels. I feel like one of these years, he won't hit into a lot of bad luck like what BABIP states that he is. I think if his BABIP creeps to .300, a .300/.400/.600 slash line in a season as an Angels is possible, since he still hits a bunch of home runs.

Potential Angels Sleepers and Busts: Statcast Edition
JustATroutFan replied to AngelsWin.com's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Potential bust for an Angels hitter might be Maybin. Last year was his first good season with the bat but he had a BABIP of .383. Before that, his career high was a .331 BABIP in 2011 with the Padres. When you combine a really high BABIP with his first good year in 5 seasons with a lot of plate appearances, he might regress big time. -
Pujols has become underrated to me. All of Pujols' 5 seasons with the Angels up to this point has been solid. He might not be living up to the expectations that a lot of fans had when the Angels signed him but he's still a good hitter. Does not hit for high average anymore but gets on base at an okay clip and can still for tremendous pop.

Gameday Thread: 3/5 Reds vs Angels
JustATroutFan replied to Troll Daddy's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Trout is playing, worth watching! -
So much potential if he stays healthy. We saw his ceiling in 2014. 13-4 with a 2.61 ERA.

50/50. Either you trade for him or you don't trade for him. But his whole career has been inconsistent. He's put up 2 great seasons (2009 and 2015), a bunch of really good seasons (2004, 2008, 2012, 2013, and 2014) and a bunch of mediocre/bad seasons (2005, 2010, 2011, and 2016), so it is tough to tell with this guy. I don't think he would do well being back in the AL , even though he has had some success in the American League. Dude's over 30, about a time when most pitchers are in decline.

Gameday Thread: 3/3 Brewers @ Angels
JustATroutFan replied to Robrock30's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
The Troutster is back in the lineup! The dude who the Angels are facing ain't a nobody either. Guerra was really good last season with the Brew Crew. Yup, the man who makes shoes and good starts on the mound is back. -
The Price Ain't Right. What a big disappointment that Price has been with the Red Sox so far.
