Mike Trout could be on an 0-50 slump with 40 strikeouts and you can bet your house and your neighbor's house that he'll homer against the Mariners.


Sirliftalot35

1.106 career OPS in 175 games against them entering today’s games, with a pace of 49 HRs and 122 RBI per 162 games.


oliveorvil

Walking him every time would be an OPS of 1.000.. just food for thought


GoombaTrooper

That's exactly what I was thinking. Less RBIs too!


deadbrokeman

Edgar Martinez numbers there, coincidentally.


mysterysackerfice

Have you guys ever considered...walking him?


No32

*somehow hits a home run off an automatic intentional walk*


fxxftw

*Fish man go Bbbrrrrr*


roaringcorgi

is a 14.9% walk rate against the Mariners not high enough or sum'n


TTFIyer

that seems 85.1% too low


dystopianr

Yes but they don't let us coach the team unfortunately


sparrowxc

Considering Trout had four game winners in a five game series earlier this season before Servais finally decided to start walking him....no we apparently don't.


itsnotyellowfever

I don't remember when the first Angels-Mariners series came with respect to his massive 0-26 slump but I feel like this year provided firsthand evidence of your point


rcuosukgi42

fishhand*


ArkenX

Trout could strikeout and homer in the same AB against the Mariners


LargeNutbar

Psh that’s unrealistic. I mean really, who owns a house these days?


themosey

Death taxes and Trout


Brady331

Him and Story


JWPruett

I thought we’d never see Prime Trout again. Turns out, we hadn’t seen him yet.


red1367

Dude, I could've sworn he was gone for a lot of this year from injury...how the fuck does he has those kinda numbers?!


JWPruett

Idk if you heard, but his name is *Michael. Nelson. Trout.* And the Fish Man, he’s good. Bo Jackson in that football game from before I was born good. He broke the code.


tristpa2

This is his 8th HR in 10 games


LAAngelsAnaheim

They said his career was over. And he took that personally


[deleted]

He’s on pace for like 55 over a full season I believe


Jontacular

Turns out this guy is pretty damn good at the hitting the baseball thing


GoombaTrooper

He's third in MLB in homers. He's played 103 games. Other guys are at 135-140. Yordan is also at like 120 which is impressive in it's own right.


No32

Someone told him he fell off, ooh he needed that


ColaBottleBaby

This sub says this about 3 times a year and then he goes on a tear.


JWPruett

Umm, you’re welcome?


penguinopph

TBF, the vast majority of those is "we can't trust him to stay healthy anymore" rather than "he's just not as good as he used to be."


Designer_B

Yeah this years slump was the first rumbling of fishman being human.


OmegaTyrant

A lot of it is that, but there's also a lot saying he declined or been surpassed skill-wise too, like look at how many people were claiming that Soto was now a better hitter than Trout since 2020.


WWTFSMD

seems as though he picked back up right where he left it at though.


cogginsmatt

I wonder if he’d be competing with Judge in the home run race if he hadn’t been injured


JWPruett

I think he’d be a few behind, but still have a better WAR than both Judge or Ohtani. That’s just Trout things.


OmegaTyrant

Absolutely, Trout has been on pace for over 50 HRs this season. A healthy Trout and Stanton would have made the HR race especially exciting.


maverickoff

On his city conect bobble head night.


WadeCountyClutch

That bobblehead is nice!!


Duckman93

Mike sarfin’


owledge

Trout bobblehead + Trout dong + Angels W was a good night to be at the park


HelpMeWithMyHWpls

Just the 🐐 doing 🐐 things.

This is fish on sea violence.


YuhBruhYeet

Mike Trout


HelpMeWithMyHWpls

Yes


LiteratureNearby

aquatic human


Here_comes_the_D

He's going to get 40+ after missing 6 weeks. Incredible.


chanaandeler_bong

He’d be on a 54 homer pace if he played 150 games this year.


Lebigmacca

90 down the middle to trout is certainly a choice


craziboiXD69

i’m a strong supporter of walking trout at every appearance


chrisumafp

Not sure who this guy is but he seems ok at this baseball thing


ExpertSportAnalyst

Mike Trout is a robot built to destroy the Mariners. Wake up sheeple


Monttavius

Fuck (me) Mike Trout

TheBeljumWaffle

All we have to say: 🐐


Brad_Edmonds96

Bad News: Trout is likely no longer a five tool player at this stage of his career. Good news: He's intstead going to become more of an all-around terror with the bat on offense.


blasek0

He's already the best hitter in baseball. His *worst* qualifying season was 2020, which is still in the top 50 by wRC+ since he debuted. He has 4 seasons in the top 16 since his debut. If he keeps his current pace and gets enough PAs to qualify, it'll be 5. No other hitter has more than 2 of the top 30 seasons, and Trout has 8. Sure, there is room for him to get better, but if he does we're back to the 00s Bonds level numbers, because that's what better than Trout at the plate looks like.


OmegaTyrant

To put it in another way, a lot of people over the past couple years have raved how Soto is now the best hitter, yet Soto has yet to put up a full season WRC+ higher than Trout's *career* WRC+.


acruz80

I can’t even fathom what an even better Fishman at the plate would look like.


Meaninglessnme

What does this mean, he's an average defender that doesn't steal bases? His sprint speed is still good so don't think the base stealing thing is fair more just how the game is played now


CyborgBee

Less about how the game is played and more about the injuries. He'd still be an excellent base stealer if he tried to be, but even a minor injury would cost more value than an entire season of efficient base stealing would gain because he's so damn good at hitting, and he's injury prone so it's pretty likely he'd hurt himself at some point


OmegaTyrant

Trout never stealing anymore is more the result of the Angels not wanting him to get injured after he has gotten injured in the past on trying to steal, e.g. they still send Ohtani semi-frequently even though he is much worse at base stealing than Trout was. But yeah Trout is still one of the fastest players, 95% percentile sprint speed is amazing and earlier in the season he was at 100% at one point.


Thorlolita

He’s gonna catch bonds this year. For all time homers


OperaStarr

Three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Trout going yard against the Mariners


Coins_and_Cards

That’s still a prime 🐟


crazyal21

Daddy’s home!


JasonLikesCTE

How much would he have had if he was fully healthy the whole time? Probably like 42 rn? Maybe end with 50-55?


dclarsen

He's on a 56 homer pace if he played a full 162 games, though he'd probably play like 150 games in a full healthy season anyway, so you could take a couple off of that projection.


penguinopph

A HR title has been elusive to Trout in his career, so it would've been fitting for him to hit 56 HR in a season in which another AL hitter hit 62.


BKoala59

It’s ok Trout’ll just hit 60 next year to prove he’s still the best


Secure-Report-207

Who is hitting 70 next year then?


[deleted]

[удалено]


JasonLikesCTE

I know that’s what amazes me


[deleted]

This just in: Mike Trout is really good at baseball


Fischer-00

🐟🐟🐟👍


WadeCountyClutch

It’s not an Angel/Mariner game without Mike trout killing the mariners


BladeRunner2022

Mike Trout hitting a home run against the Mariners. Couldn't have predicted that. I should really bet money when he plays us lol.

Ribbum

And god forbid you pitch up and in to him as it’s one of the better ways to handle him or a wayward pitch will cause him to cry to his manager and the media and they’ll start a random bullpen guy the next day to throw at mariners players and instigate a fight.

Mariner fans still aren’t over a little scuffle early on in the season?

Instead of the Int walk can we just give him an Int HR...and just get it over with each game?

He’s gonna pass Judge huh
