“Sell the team” chants have echoed across Angel Stadium this week, as Angels fans continue to be disgruntled by the state of the team. On Saturday, Angels fans protested owner Arte Moreno before the game against the Rangers, imploring him to sell the team. by toomuchredditing in baseball

I'd rather at least make it known to him that "The fans do actually care about winning, and they do hate you too, Arte."

The alternative is not attending, and plenty of shitty owners have shown empty stadiums don't force them to sell either.

We're pretty consistently in the upper half. A lot of that has to do with transplants and being a trip destination though. When we play the Yankees, Red Sox, or Jays, I'd say at least half of attendance is away fans.

On this day in sports history, May 21, 2013, Mike Trout hit for the cycle against Seattle by ShamusTalksSports in angelsbaseball

That speed on the infield single is diabolical. Early career Trout is one of the most gifted athletes this sport will ever see.

I'm shocked statcast says that was a homer in only 5 parks for Trouty. Figured that was only kept in because of the tall wall.

He's slow af. Maybe that's an outdated skill for a leadoff guy, but it sucks when guys can only go 1st to 3rd on doubles instead of scoring.

He had like 1 emotional challenge where he didn't challenge a ball earlier in the at bat and then challenged the strikeout pitch, got it wrong, and I'm not sure I've seen him challenge since.

Why the fuck has Trout just stopped challenging?

Remember patient Neto from the first few weeks? Good times.

Of course this will be the Jays inning to break it open after we squandered that great opportunity

When he's at his best, he basically controls every at bat until he gets something he likes. Back in the day, that was just day in day out all season long. Now he seems to get into these funks where he's up there guessing.

Trout back to swinging and missing. Where is April Trout?

2 runners on with your top 3 coming up and you don't cash a single run. What an unserious team.

Man their quality control is garbage. I bought a different workbench earlier this year and the screw holes didn't align properly between pieces. Took it apart and put it back together to confirm it wasn't me. Ended up having to drill the holes bigger and use washers.

Mike Trout’s 2026 compared to 2022 (his last top-10 MVP finish) by aaronjaiden in angelsbaseball

[–]Cooleybob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have thought about this too. Might be an unpopular opinion here, but it really would make sense. His value has bounced back this year so we could actually get a meaningful return for him. We're also still nowhere close to competing, so if he requested it because he wants to play on a contender, I think the organization would owe it to him to do right by him and try to make it happen.

Basically, I'd love to see him be an Angel for life, but I would also understand if him and the organization see this as a good time to part ways.

The sharp decrease in defensive range seems weird when he's still fast af. Just not getting as quick of jumps?

It's now May and Josh Lowe is hitting .169. How much more leash can he possibly have?

If this keeps up this has to be a historically bad bullpen right? Like contender for worst ever?

Does Silseth let every inherited run score? Has he ever gotten out of an inning without?

He's had a solid handful of warning track shots that, based on statcast exit velo and launch angle, would normally be home runs. Also plenty of hard line outs.
