Pujols years in Anaheim is part of the reason why they didn't win anything though lol

Exactly. If the Angels don’t get guys like Pujols and Josh Hamilton and retained a guy like Zach Greinke things might’ve went a bit different for Trout

How do you explain six seasons with Ohtani? Arguably two of the best players in the league and can't even make the playoffs.

Give me some examples of one (or even two) great players on a baseball team carrying an entire squad of bums (pitching included) thru an entire season

This isn't basketball

These nikkas with these NBA ass takes kill me.

Trout is a lock to be a HOFer, it isn't his fault that the Angels have wasted a ton of money on high dollar free agents (Pujols, Josh Hamilton, Anthony Rendon) and have been of the worst player development organizations for at least 15 years.
He sucked in the playoffs though and came up small chasing a wild card a few times. If his house was clean I would be with u.

It’s the same shyt breh. Look at the Rendon contract. The Angels have even giving terrible contracts for over 10 years now. Traded hella prospects for guys who didn’t work out or left. You have to build an entire team in baseball. Two great players can’t cover up all the other holes.

That’s disingenuous. It was 3 games early in his career you can’t judge a baseball player as a playoff performer after only 3 games.

Angels have only had 3 winning seasons since he became a full time player in 2012. The problem is organizational.

He's only made one playoff appearance and it's way to small of sample size to judge. Barry Bonds was not a good playoff performer for context.

If u the goat u can

It just moments I see him coming up small

Just like the WBC striking out down by 1 last out in the 9th.

Trout is a beast but If it’s smoke it’s fire until it’s put out
