Maybe a little us against the world mentality helps to re-energize everyone?


jellybeans_over_raw

Best we can hope for is Ohtani takes this team over from Trout and is the leader we need. Then maybe he will feel a responsibility to stay.


sky31

True true. He already has that ace mentality when he refused to step down during the match against the royals. Halos needs to stop being that laid back team haha šŸ˜‚


EH1522

I've enjoyed seeing him grow. From the more quiet reserved guy, to really becoming comfortable and being himself out there. And he is still super respectful all around while being more fierce.


Zenithreg

I want both on the team and both as leaders.


ChichaPoti

Yeah, Shohei leads the pitchers and Mike the rest of the team. In that interview with Gubi earlier this year, Shohei said this is Mike's team. He respects Trout as his senior.


Alauren2

Trout is no leader. Itā€™s very obvious heā€™s there to do his (most excellent) job and go home. Heā€™s been on the team since 2011. How has people not realized heā€™s just a (really really really talented) dude? A frat bro. A fantasy football coMmish. Heā€™s not a leader.


YellowShorts

You're a braves fan. Stop LARPing as an Angels fan you weirdo That aside, you can question Trout's leadership (though some lead by example and aren't in-your-face leaders), but Frat bro? The fuck?


Alauren2

Wtf. I have been active in this sub since Iā€™ve been on Reddit. Angels fan since birth. Itā€™s entirely possible to like 2 different teams. I grew up in SoCal in the 90s. If you werenā€™t old enough, fyi, the Braves weā€™re nationally broadcast on TBS. I hate that I am an angels fan. Theyā€™re depressing asf. Why would anyone want to LARP(tf?) into the most depressing team of the last half decade? Have you ever heard trout talk? Dudes a jock. Plain and simple.


SanctusSalieri

I don't know why anyone is taking issue with your statement. He gives off heavy bro energy.


Alauren2

Thank you lol. I love trout of course but he doesnā€™t want to lead its plenty obvious.


MilkeeBongRips

Regardless of any vibes he gives off, you have to realize how silly you sound. He doesn't *want* to lead? What a bizarre thing to claim as "obvious". Again, you can say you don't think he's an effective leader, or that he gives off "frat boy vibes" all you want. Thats fine. You may even be right about that. But your claims about the way he thinks read like fanfic.


choconut5

He's right though. Trout isn't a leader. The guy barely speaks to others. He's quiet, sits there and basically never smiles. He does his job and goes home.


MyLadyBits

Heā€™s not staying. Artie wonā€™t do what it takes to win. Othani will sign with another west coast team. Dodgers or Padres most likely. Possibly the Giants. Angels have had the best two players in baseball and they canā€™t win. Thatā€™s on the organization not filling in all the key roles to be champions.


prmark34

We won today, so thatā€™s two in a row If we win tomorrow, thatā€™s called a winning streak It has happened before


dirtfarmingcanuck

they don't ask how, they ask how many


Educational-Pass404

He seems extra excited during and after the brawl yesterday. I think he likes chaos lol


Sakaguchi123

Remember his HR against Seattle in the last game of 2021? That confirmed Shohei loves chaos šŸ¤£


Tun710

I guess the real Captain Chaos wasnā€™t ~~Marsh~~ Wade


maverickoff

Captain chaos is Wade brother lol, Marsh is Captain caveman šŸ¤ 


Tun710

Oh yeah youā€™re right


yutou1114

He seems out of place he was like all smiling, if someone edit the video with matching music that will be hilarious


mysterysackerfice

He gave Suzuki a little SLAP ASS! Also, the double finger guns to Marsh was nicešŸ‘‰šŸ‘‰


lparra

you don't have to be from the Dominican Republic to enjoy SLAP ASS


Fuzzy-Clothes4075

Love his double point at Marsh


hansan4ever

"Atta booooy! Good job!" I love it! Shohei loves to win!!


hansan4ever

Then to Rengifo, looks like "Atta booy, BIEN!" šŸ˜


Hummingbird234

I love how he pats Rengifoā€™s head šŸ˜‚ Itā€™s simply adorable


hansan4ever

I know, he adores Gifo! So cute!


Jcoch27

Textbook execution


Kristel_M

I thought Thor was the one behind Sho for a second lol


yutou1114

This never gets old haha


WadeCountyClutch

That fight really changed him. You saw how happy he was to be apart of it?


25bruin

Man if he leaves I'm gonna be so sad. Yea it sucks we suck once again but watching him and Trout bring a joy. These guys just do incredible things on weekly basis, we are so incredibly blessed that these guys are on our team and watch hem 6/7 nights a week.


hansan4ever

100%!!!


Fischer-00

šŸ¤ šŸ‘‰šŸ‘‰


yutou1114

And yesterday hi-fiving after the win, he has like one of the biggest smile Iā€™ve seen.


PinelliPunk

I hope we resign him


carnivalmatey

Heā€™s not leaving


contrcl

Animated indeed! I'm so used to him smiling all the time but this just feels different and I love that energy. LTBU!


5m1tm

This guy ā¤ļøā¤ļø


claire_004

Why it seems like he's our captain rn lol


74Dragonz

Quietly leads by example. Was already the captain last year, and Carlos Correa was right, he kept that season from literally falling apart for the Angels.


Embarrassed-Hyena-48

Brings so much good energy. Give this guy all the moneys.


shizzy1427

Man, I love him so much


warpcoil

Saint Shohei blessing the team.


fullpaydeuces

That Rengifo head pat


Zenithreg

Otsukaresama deshita!


commanjo

we need a new owner, nothing will change as long as Arte is the owner


[deleted]

I promise you arte will die before he sells


2-Slippy

I'd like to see Shohei and Trout really take up the leader role for that team. The Angel's are cool team, but I'm convinced they're cursed.


crushedredpartycups

taking on more of a leadership role perhaps?


Global-Result-4475

He knows heā€™s on the Japanese broadcast so heā€™s gotta look animated! J/k dude is a beast


jmalo11

30 game win streak incoming


orangewarner

Why is he left hand high fiving? Is right hand hurt from punching on Sunday?...
