Come on folks show your team spirit 

Look like the fish (Mike Trout) are biting tonight 

Trout will probably go down as the greatest hitter I've (and the game has) ever seen.

Why are our starting pitchers having so much trouble all of a sudden?

Atta boy Moncada! Has reached base in 17 of his last 18 games.

That's nonsense.  Trout has never hit .400 nor has he ever hit 61 HRs in 154 games or anything close to those numbers.

Heh... not even worth a response.

Seems like this game will be of the high scoring variety. 

Palka is disproving the  strike out slugger mold when he goes to LF like that. That is what an MLB slugger would do.

Yep. Dude still hasn't played in a playoff game though. Angels FO is a clown college.

Completely agree. They don't deserve him.

The Angels made the ALDS in 2014 and lost to the Kansas City Royals. Trout was 1/12 with a HR and 3 walks.

These guys are just playing out the string. Kinda like most of us on the job on Friday afternoon before a holiday weekend.

Yep. My bad there. Didn't the Halos get swept?

Here's a little postseason success for you: Reggie Jackson's teams won five WS from 1972 to 1978. Yogi Berra had similar success.

Correct. He has yet to "Win" a playoff game.

Trout will be a free agent after the 2020 season. That lines up pretty well with the Sox window...

Dude just turned 27 too. Greatest. Hitter. Eva.

That's because you don't have the facts to back you up.

I say Bonds. He was a 500 HR/3,000 hit guy before steroids. His hand-eye coordination was insane. Besides hitting, he also stole a bunch of bases and won a bunch of GG’s... but that’s just me.

Trout’s in the top 3 however

The Angels got Mike freaking Trout to sign a contract extension and we don't think we can do the same with Eloy and Rodon?

Oh no doubt Bonds is #1 for me. You can add Frank and a whole lot of others too. I'm just projecting what he's doing now and will probably continue to do as his numbers are seemingly getting better every year. I should've said player, not hitter but both apply since he actually plays CF too and is pretty damn good there as well. He is just scary good.

Trout’s walk up song is “Yikes” by Kanye.

Shit could get menacing. frightening, find help, sometimes I scare myself

Scary indeed and apparently he agrees

His OPS gets better every year. It’s currently 1.064 this season and almost 1.000 for his career. That for a career, which is going to be attainable at his current pace, would be better than everyone but Ruth, Williams and Gehrig. 

At this age, on this pace, Trout is the GOAT and it isn’t close.
