I think The Meck has gone beyond a small sample size.

For 100 bats he remained consistent

Pretty soon, Detmers is going to have a lower ERA than Soriano.

Obviously, it’s not about trying to win for Kurt.

In 2025, the Angels won/loss when Trout was in the line up was 55-75. Their record when he wasn’t in the line up was 17-15. Add in the 2026 season, they are 31-44 with Trout in line up, and 2-4 when, prior to today, he is not. Thus since beginning of 2025 season, the Angels are 86-119 with Trout in line up and 19-19, prior to today, when he is not. You can draw your own conclusions.

Probably a lot of factors but Trout’s defense in CF probably hurts the team more than we realize. How many hits fall in because of how deep he plays.

Poor defense. High k rate at plate. Low batting average. High walk rate doesn’t transpire into rbi’s which should be one of the main reasons he is in lineup. Few stolen bases.

My conclusion is this is not conclusive evidence that Trout hurts the team. It’s too small a sample. It’d be easy, should we lose today, to say in 2026 we’ve won 41% of the games Trout’s played but only 29% when he’s been out

Trout is the best player in the team’s history. Draw from that what you wish.

People who continually fund ways to bash Trout will spend eternity snuggling Rengifo in a jalapeño jello pool in hell.

This is where you would pinch hit Neto with a chance to tie the game.

Despite his prodigious k rate?

I think so. He’s still much less likely to make an out than Moore, and way more likely to hit a HR. Even with his Ks, he still has the highest OBA on the team other than Trout and a few of the SLC guys. You could have PH Walton as well, but sending Moore up was waiving the white flag.

Sorry, Walton is already in the game so Neto was really the only choice.

Every pitch that Cano throws is the same speed.

At the game 82 game milepost in the 2025 season, the Angels were 41-41, and chatter was alive that the decade plus of dreadful sub .500 seasons would mercifully be over. Alas, Wash went on IL with a bad ticker and team flailed to a 31-50 remainder of year fiasco. This year the Halo mobile is stuck in reverse, eight games worse, after the upcoming loss today, of last years circus at this point. So it goes.

CMo has stood in the same spot regardless of who is batting. He looks at the card in his hat and still doesn’t move.

You could platoon Moore and Meckler in LF, except now you have Lowe back.

Would much rather see him back in SLC than platooning.

I agree, if he isn’t going to play every day, he should be playing LF in SLC every day.

When Trout comes back, Meckler will likely be sent back down as both he and Lowe hit LH.

He is their best hitter by a significant margin but he should probably be DHing. None of this will happen though.

So Walbert Urena is our best starting pitcher as of June 24, 2026.

I’m certain that we all predicted that.

10 day IL and it’s been …uh…like several already. He said on the day he went on the IL that it felt better and this was more of a precaution so I’m assuming that means late August.

The medical community has deemed that screaming at the television is unhealthy for Angels fans mental and physical well being.
