Trout injured his left thumb on a head-first slide into second base.

if their pitching can get their shit together, there could be easy unders with the Angels.

Angels ceiling was at best a 75 win team with the best player in the game. Per our season win totals thread it Angels Under was my top play this year. Now I feel like it is legal theft. So this is what it feels to be camped out in Manhattan/Wall Street.

Why slide headfirst ?



Especially in a meaningless game for a shit team, that is not going anywhere.

I can see extreme effort in a playoff game , but not here.

Risk/reward should be considered at all times.

I once believed in going all-out every game but I now believe "time and score" should dictate tactics.

You can't tell players like Trout to ease up. Griffey Jr. was the same way. Similar to trying to rate a front running horse.

Suppose to slide head first, but suppose to make a fist

not sure why everyone doesn't wear the finger protector when they get on base

it adds a few inches to your fingers anyway, could be the difference between safe or not on a close play, and you can't break your fingers.

Based on his injury it is doubtful Trout will able to play before Sept.

Trout back tonight but what did he do in the 3rd inning?

Head first slide into second. :doh1

Maybe he forgot how he got hurt?

Seemed like an arrogant move by Trout.

The Angels were 26-27 before Trout's injury and they were 19-20 in Trout's absence.

Some of their other players are starting to hit, they should be better now.

I've watch several games so far 2022. Dude is skinny compared to when he stopped playing last year. Must of been hell going through that PED addiction reversal.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Funny how players like Steve Garvey was more fluid and never got hurt.

Dave Winfield never got hurt. Only at very end of Yankee career fucked up his back.

Also Winfield was 6'6" only 220. Also rarely struck out, impressive for his size.

He supposedly had a serious stomach ailment. He dropped 10 pounds. That's the story.

I wonder if it's possible trout tested positive for steroids last year and they covered it up because he's about the biggest name there is? His injury last year might have been really a suspension?

mike trout incredible talent, but picked #25. not as much pressure as bryce harper who graced the cover of SI and was picked #1 so not only did he have to battle the SI jinx but also the pressures of being the next baseball superwonder.

bryce has done exceptionally well as most top 5 baseball picks in history have struggle to meet expectations.

it's not easy to succeed with a target on your back in every at bat, every game, every season, over and over and over.

Luka back on the court within two weeks with a calf strain. Trout missed half a season.

And this is a basketball player with explosive start and stops all game.

Interesting reading the local papers here. Every time Trout was ready to come back, he suffered a setback. Naturally close to the end of the season they shut him down.

it sounds like you might be calling Mike Trout a pvssy? not trying to put words in your mouth, Heimer, but it kinda sounds that way :)

No. He's a gamer. But I think there was a cover up. Halos played it good.

The player's kid who spilled the beans on Trout and HGH was probably accurate.

It's early but he seems to be playing better now that he's off the juice and skinnier. He's still strong as an ox, what did all the extra muscle get him but missed playing time?
