i agree

In order.. 
1. Simmons
2. Bedrock
3. Cozart (that play)
 

This seems a bit reactionary, which is out of character for Eppler. Perhaps there is more to the story?

Appeared in 8 games for the Angels. In six of them, no runs - four of those, no hits. In the seventh game, gave up 1 run.  But the very visible game against Boston, he gave up 6 after coming in cold to relieve Ohtani.  One (very) bad outing out of 8. Against a team that was tattooing every other pitcher they faced as well.
I'm sorry to see him go.

LOL - in point of fact, she is sitting next to me right now. She thinks you're a moron, BTW.

I think I forgot to mention this before the series started. 
Fuck the Red Sox. 

MOD WARNING: Knock it off. 

Isn't it weird to be slobbering drunk at 4:30 in the afternoon?

NO!

People need to figure this out and get out to the ball park to watch Trout as often as possible. He's a once-in-a-generation player and unlike anyone we've ever seen before.  People should just appreciate him and just go out to a stadium and soak it all in.  If you keep looking for someone better - you're going to miss the best there ever was. 

It’s where you read about important things. Duh!
 

Has any batter ever struck out 300 times in one season? Maybe we're watching history happen?

Well, you're about to see it with Ohtani in only 23 starts. 
Oh, you said batter? Nevermind. 

welcome aboard, gary. as more people discover what you do and the offer you've made, expect your in-box to get a lot of activity, especially after our first two-game losing streak.

Hopefully a sign of things to come. For both, lol.

Without that wild pitch it's a grand slam.
 

This is not true, Scotty. Albert's decline was very unusual for a player of his caliber, unless you add 2-4 years to his age. Then it makes more sense. But the vast majority of great players do not decline as rapidly and steeply as Albert did from age 30-33ish. If you adjust his age up by +3, his decline from 2010 on better suits a great player age 33+.
As for the OP's question, I think it is a combination of league, injury, age-related decline, and possibly more nefarious reasons: steroids and/or him possibly being older than advertised.
I would also add overwhelming pride and a willful stubbornness to make adjustments, and instead focus on the long-ball at the expense of just being a good hitter. 
 

I'm hoping that one day MLB will recognize what a truly great player Bonds was. He will always be the poster boy of the steroid era, but underneath all that stuff was one of the all-time greats.
