You know that's not THE Mike Trout's twitter page, right? This is: https://twitter.com/MikeTrout

Didn't know they had pronunciation on bbref. Thanks. It also says his nickname is "Bourtabello Crushroom". Wow.

My favorite part of that is this:

Serious question, is it Justin "Bore" or "BOW-er" ?

I thought the 3 batter min was in effect, but the nats changed pitchers twice in an inning without that happening.  

@Jeff Fletcher ??

That's not until next year. https://www.mlb.com/news/how-3-batter-minimum-will-change-baseball

Interesting to see Albert batting 5th even without Upton or Ohtani in the lineup. Where is the guy that kept saying it was in Albert's contract to bat 3rd or 4th?

it's official:

@Bobster7587's father is the coolest dad ever. 

This is absolutely true. It won't let me tag Cory, but he can definitely confirm. 

I woke up, rolled over, and picked up my phone from my nightstand. I had a text from my Dad that said (Without the asterisks) "F*ck yeah F*ck yeah F*ck yeah F*ck yeah F*ck yeah F*ck yeah F*ck yeah F*ck yeah F*ck yeah F*ck yeah" with a link at the end to a story with the extension news". He uses voice to text and so I'm pretty sure he just said F Yeah into his phone over and over. I took a minute to make sure I wasn't dreaming, then tried not to make too many excited sounds since my wife was still asleep next to me. Best morning wood ever!

I went to the Pujols and CJ press conference and had a good time. I distinctly remember the "Arte! Arte!" chants. I would love to go to Mike's press conference but I don't live locally anymore. I will watch this one regardless of what is written beforehand. This is one of those moments in team history that I don't want to miss.

Per Bob Nightengale...

They knew that Trout was fully invested in the organization. Trout even studied videos and watched hitters before the last few drafts, and personally lobbied for the Angels to draft outfielder Jo Adell in 2017. They drafted, signed him, and Trout even gave him his cell phone number, telling him to call whenever he needed anything.

This is actually pretty interesting stuff .... https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2019/03/19/mike-trout-never-wanted-to-leave-los-angeles-angels/3211347002/

Well played Glen! Reverse Jinx in full effect!

Woke up to the news! Best morning wood ever! MIKE TROUT!!! 

The sooner side of imminent? Poppycock. 

Well, if there's one spot the Angels have some solid depth, this is it.

He really didn't get any opt-outs? I'm surprised by this. Would be nice if we could talk Trout into that too. 

VALIDATION!

I’d ban myself from posting for the entirety of his contract with the Angels if that happened. I’d be stoked. 

Now that's what you call a win-win

"skus" or "Jeter skus" - A board member (Was it  @FabulousFabregas?)  Got thrown out of an Angel game. I believe the story goes: He kept saying "Jeter Sucks!" at the game, then got a warning from an usher. Then he said "Jeter skus!" and got thrown out? Something to that effect. 

"Your and idoit" - Someone was ranting and mis-typed "You're an idiot" and this took off. Haven't seen anyone use this one in a while. 

Kelvin Escobar's Tripod / Tripod thread  - Epic thread of pics of Kelvin's supposed huge dong. Does this thread still exist!? 

There are a few others that I faintly remember but can't recall details - "Shitting on Chuck's couch" and "I drive two Porsches!" 

Ha, awesome! Thank for posting!

I'm indifferent on choosing Ausmus. Not super excited about it, or upset by it. We'll see what happens and I wish him the best. Glad to get a new face in the dugout for the first time in my adult life.

Also - The photoshopping of all the different Ausmus photos made my day. Bravo sir. Tad Ausmus is amazing!

Johnson #3? Sounds like a typical Friday night at Tdawg's house.
