Los Angeles Angels Vets Like Mike Trout Don’t Deliver, While Young Core Shines vs. Astros

This game felt like a Angels are almost there. Mhm. But not quite yet. The young guys all made an impact. You saw Shaunell crushes that that fast ball to right and hits a home run. So, the young guys are making an impact here, but the veterans just couldn’t seem to support the team. Logan Oppo with his 17th home run on the season. He’s hit 15 of them as a catcher. Unfortunately, didn’t amount to a win. And that’s again not necessarily because of the young guys, right? Yeah, it’s because of the vets. So, uh, Mike Trout really struggled in this game. John Angels had the tying runs on on base in the seventh inning and Trout killed that rally by striking out on three consecutive sliders and it was the same pitch in the same place for two strikes and then they threw it way out of the zone and he swung right over it. You can count on Trout to have a a patient at bat more likely than not. In fact, the one he had later in the game was a three 3-1 count against Josh her. And I’m not going to fault him for hitting what was that ball 103 off the bat, right? And it was, you know, was going to fall in, but Jake Myers was just all over the place for the Astros. Trout is just not aggressive and and I think that’s to his detriment sometimes. I know that they always say, “Well, Trout never swings at the first pitch.” Maybe he should. Maybe he should start swinging at the first pitch. More often than not, it’s good to see Trout work and at bat because some of these guys don’t work at bats, Mike. And so, it’s refreshing for Trout to do that. However, what would be more refreshing is to see him attack pitches in the zone. Fact is, dude, you’re Mike Trout. You got to crush these guys when they bring it in the zone because you’re better than these guys on their best day, right? Your your worst day is their best day. And so for him to to not attack, that really is to his detriment right

  4. I was at the game. You explained it perfectly. You didn't mention the OLE' defense at 3rd. Also, why the Hell would you bring Hendricks out to pitch the 6th when he barely escaped the 5th? That 4 pitch walk set the tone in the 6th. I was hoping that the Angels would win, because I hate the Astros. The Angels are showing alot of promise.The Angels need a 3rd baseman also Lamont Wade was quite impressive.
