Is Mike Trout's career becoming sad? | Baseball Today

Shirtless Trev yesterday, Katie Woo today, Rosey is cookin!

Now if we could only combine the two, we'd really be in business.

I love what Steven Vogt brings to the game. His last AB is still one of my favorite moments as an A's fan and a baseball fan.

[@chrisweidner4768]

Yep, this Cardinals fan thought it is one of the great moments as well.

[@cpaga1020]

You see why it's so hard for men to show emotion? Voght was showing true raw emotion, and the first thing that dumb reporter says is "getting a bit emotional" in a snarky way.

[@ibowers819]

I honestly don't think that's how the reporter meant it at all. That beat writer has a daily Guardians podcast that I listen to and he said on today's episode how great that moment was and how lucky we are to have Vogt as a manager who shows emotion and loves his guys. I think remarking on it was just a way to break the tension of the moment and acknowledge it, not just move past it.

Tell Trev he needs to step it up, Katie is coming for his job. By far the best cohost out of the pen.

Love when Katie fills in - would love to have her guest appear with Trev on too, I think the 3 of them would have a good convo!

She was on with just Trev a few weeks ago!

Like Chris sale, Mike Trout needs a change of scenery if he wants the back half of his career to be anything close to the beginning.

[@Garvey-vm3qt]

The one and only Katie Woo!

[@coreygilliam8533]

Anyone else in love with Katie Woo??

[@squashandfries]

Alternative: I have no problem with Trout on DH, I think its a fantastic and necessary idea that will keep him hitting for years to come. Like Katie said, he has never been known for his defense. Never. Who cares that he's not on field? Yeah, it sucks, but its the reality. We don't need him on field. We need him at home plate, knocking dingers, and this is the best path forward for that.

[@mattculb6990]

Tell me how I've only cried like 3 times this year, all 3 times during Baseball Today, jeez thanks guys.

[@yungshatter6671]

C Rosey is the greatest at impersonations 🤣

[@big-fish1199]

Unfortunately the answer is Yes

[@chrisweidner4768]

As long as Mike can stay on the field, the sadness will pass. Guy was elite in the field for a long time. Elite enough to deserve HOF already. Let him enjoy simply raking for the remainder of his career. If he can stay on the field and rake for 5 more years, all of the sad times will be forgotten. Disagree with Katie on this one.

[@israelsanchez2773]

agree x100

[@TheTEN24]

Katie woo spot on with Mets analysis, we’re always peering around the corner for bad stuff lol

[@philefan7181]

I’d wish CRose would have asked Katie to clarify on which Braves have experience going deep in October? With the injuries the current roster is not the roster that won in 21. For the most part these Braves only know losing to the Phillies in 4 games. Is she just talking about the logo?

[@eph-trg3976]

God I love Vogt. So happy for his success as a manager. True baseball nut

[@greatswamp09]

She's awesome I enjoy Katy woo and her analysis and respect her take , and as a cardinals fan I would love to have gotten Shota . Like he would have been such a great pitcher to build around and would fit perfectly in the cardinals organization and community . I know the cubs are loving him and I'm sure he will be a great part of that team for the foreseeable future

[@yungshatter6671]

23:23 not just does it make it more interesting for the guys getting on base but it also makes it that much more impressive when no hitters or perfect games happen

[@johnries3121]

Rosey, thanks for bringing Katie Woo (aka SUNSHINE) to my day.

[@flashman4929]

21:04 “provide the fuher?” I think you mean fervor, Rose. How dare you? Especially knowing the history of your people, and that of many of your listeners (including myself).

[@nickschuman4652]

I love that above all else, Katie is a certified ball-knower. Love when she fills in she’s always a great conversation

Arraez has 27 total Strikeouts and 24 total walks combined with MIA and SD.

[@ayydubs987]

i think what mike trout needs is actually a change of scenery. but if he wants to stay “loyal” to a team that doesn’t deserve him and will never go anywhere, then he’ll stay there and waste away…

[@kamakazi9255]

Always look forward to the morning episodes

[@mtbness5028]

…or the evening episodes for a UK viewer!😎⚾️

[@alejandroestrada703]

Mike Trout is the kind of guy that’s stuck on an island with nearby boats(wichever team has playoff potential) and decides to just stay there and rot because “LoYaLtY”, the only time it was fun seeing him play was at the BWC. I enjoy seeing his highlights every year even if it’s just a two minute video.

[@nuggetnachitas]

IMO, Trouts career would be sad if he was a fringe HOF player. But he’s easily a first ballot player so the recent injuries are sad but not as bad as it could be

[@askittsutube]

Miss Woo got it going on. I'm not saying I'm just saying.

[@dgrblue4162]

Trout's body is past breaking down, to destroyed. He isn't the everyday player anymore.

[@seven_curses]

The worst part of the Tigers being competitive is they can pretend like there's a real reason why Kerry Carpenter - their best hitter - is being platooned. It makes no sense why Riley Greene & Parker Meadows get consistent at-bats but Carpenter doesn't. His numbers aren't great against lefties, but they rarely ever let him try so how could he get a feel for it?

Wifey Katie Woo

[@maxbouratoglou6718]

A player like Arraez would finish top 5 every year in MVP in the 80's, but even the best bat to ball skills in baseball don't make you an elite player if every other aspect of your game is below average. Arraez has one of the lowest walk rates in MLB, is not a good defender, has no power, and isn't fast. Jesse Winker has a higher OBP than Arraez, Justin Turner has a higher OPS. He's a good player, but nowhere near elite

[@arjnarersn01]

He’s a one dimensional player but he’s the literally the best at that dimension

[@ibowers819]

This is pretty much why Steven Kwan (who style of play was very comparable to Arraez's game his first two big league seasons), decided to purposely swing more this season, knowing full well that it'll also lead to more strike outs. They determined all the slap singles he was hitting last year made little difference in the game. So their focus this year was "less hits overall, but more IMPACTFUL hits" and it's lead to him hitting nearly 15 homers on top of his high average and Gold Glove defense. He didn't want to just be the guy who hits 2-3 singles a game if those singles weren't scoring runs.

Where's Trev? He go into hiding because of his sad twins?

[@jessestewart947]

Is Mike Trout’s career becoming sad? Is that a a serious question? He’s played three career playoff games. Have you played three career playoff games? Probably not. I’d be hyped if I played three playoff games in my career. There’s nothing to be sad about.

[@ibowers819]

lol yeah. Who'd ever want to have Mike Trout's "sad" career. I get there are aspects to be sad about, but lets not pretend he hasn't had one of the best careers most of us have seen.

[@garydagg9112]

@@ibowers819I think you have to separate the talent and the career. He’s one of best ever players in his sport, nobody will question that. But if you compare it to say messi or Ronaldo. If they played like they did over their careers and only had 3 champions league appearances, you’d say that’s awful. You couldn’t blame the three players but I’d -personally question the team.

[@garydagg9112]

Yeah but you’re not Mike trout. We in the comments would be stoked to play a single game at a pro level of any sport. So hypothetically you’d say if someone of Mike trouts talent only played 1 single mlb game in his entire career it would be a good career, cos it would good for us?

[@hiskingdomreigns]

I don't think Rose is comparing the sadness of Trout's life to the sadness of your life. Cos who cares about your life? However, when you compare Trout's career to comparable guys like Judge, Harper or Mookie it's undoubtedly a tragedy that he's never been close to postseason success. Or even a >.500 team like Ohtani is currently enjoying.

Arraez is a great player, but he’s not one of the best players in baseball like people have claimed.

[@joshy.josh.11]

No one calls him one of the best players in baseball, just one of the better hitters in the game with a unique style and high bat to ball ability that doesn’t necessarily translate to stat lovers preferences

Ideally you want a guy like him on your team, but he's probably not the best player on any team.

What should've been Mickey Mantle 2.0, turned into Ken Griffey Jr with even fewer stats. Incredible prime that we'll always remember, but extraordinarily sad what he and baseball have been sold short of with his injuries.

[@marctroast5563]

Better than Aaron Judge

[@baseballMMAgames]

I mean...hair done and no hat today. Wonder why 🤔

[@squashandfries]

Getting on base may be important, but that's not exactly Arraez's strong suit. He is a contact hitter, but really he is NOT remotely the batter he needs to be, and I say this, because his walk rate is currently 4.2% on the season, 6.8% career. He still doesn't have the plate discipline he needs. You gotta have SOMETHING more than just contact. All he has is contact. He's only worth 1.3 bWAR, 1.5 fWAR. That's good. That's above replacement level. That's not all that and a box of cookies. The most he's ever been worth in a season so far is 3.4 WAR, where he put up the most HR and RBI in his career and ended with an AVG of over .350.
