Mike Trout facing more injury concerns | Baseball Today

[@themegjake4000]

It actually makes my teary eyed as an Angels fan. It feels like an injustice to the baseball world. I was 11 when he debuted and I looked up to Mike during the most formative years of my life. Even when the team was bad, if Trouty was playing we had something to look forward to. I really hope he has a couple more full seasons left in him

[@anthonywatson6070]

I will never not hold back my laughter when Chris does his Farmers Dog ad read 😂

[@jbeing007]

I live for Chris Rose dog talk. LOL :)

[@mariokart9227]

Weird to think about how now if you were to chose between mike trout's career or Harper's career I can see many going for Harper's probably cuz of health and post season success. Where like 2019 I believe most people would have taken mike's overall career up to that point.

[@gentlemanjake8005]

Only because of recency bias probably. After both are retired, Trout will be remembered as the better player. Guys like Frank Thomas, Ken Griffey Jr., Larry Walker, etc. didn’t have much postseason success either, but no one really cares anymore.

[@robertweisberg5570]

Trout is completely finished. He will play few if any games. Those big dudes can have problems as they get older. 40mm a yr. Wow. They are stuck with him.

[@themegjake4000]

As an Angels fan, can I just say they could double that number and I’d be fine with it. He’s the best thing to happen to baseball in Anaheim since 2002 and part of the reason so many kids in SoCal care more about baseball than they would otherwise

[@Youngstomata]

@@themegjake4000 dang idk how you can be an angels fan when the owners never built around the guy and ruined his career by keeping him at a crappy team that gets no recognition

[@ronnierodriguez5388]

This kills me to say. Trout is officially this generations Griffey jr. Phenomenal superstar athlete who never wins a ring and gets his later career robbed by injuries

[@greenebeane7]

Except people loved Griffey for his personality

[@VegeMaticPragtarian]

If someone doesn’t think Trout is a Hall of Famer, they don’t know ball. Also, Elly is in the conversation for biggest draw in the NL. I’d say a healthy Acuna too

[@greenebeane7]

There’s at least 10 guys with a bigger draw for fans rn than Mike injured Trout

[@VegeMaticPragtarian]

@@greenebeane7 they were talking about Skenes, not trout

[@gwaptiva]

Are you guys not mentioning Tyler Fitzgerald because you don't want to jinx a streak?

[@AtomicPunk51]

streak will end tonight. Thank you very much. 🎉

[@henrythomas2409]

Skenes is pitching out of his mind but if he finishes the year with 130-140 IP, even if his ERA doesn’t move at all from 1.93, he won’t win the Cy Young. Innings matter and, yeah, it isn’t his fault that he didn’t start the year in the majors, but voters wont pick him if there’s a guy with 180 IP and a 2.3. Degrom came in like 9th in 2021 when he pitched 92 innings, struck out 150, and had a .9 ERA.

[@dereklee8103]

I get that, but your 180 IP example, would you take 2023 Snell over 2024 Skenes? Personally I'd go Skenes if he does what he's been doing over 140 IP

[@henrythomas2409]

@@dereklee8103 I'd probably need the full numbers. But a Skenes 1.93 and 140 IP versus Snell 180 IP and 2.25? I may still go Snell (again, I'd need full peripherals and whatnot). But 40 innings is 6-7 starts. If the best ability is availability, and you're available for 6-7 more starts than the other guy and still pitching to a near league best ERA? Yeah youre probably more valuable in my book

[@jsa790]

mike trout has a cumulative wins above replacement of 86, those are hall of fame numbers with a comfortable margin. (griffey was 84)

[@GymAndSun]

Same story with Trout and Rendon every year, too bad. Pull a similar move to Harper on the Phillies and platoon the two them at DH and third. The aging stars who can still hit, protect their health a la Buxton

[@greenebeane7]

I dont disagree that Trout is one of the best players in our generation but to say “he’s done a lot for the game” is kinda crazy. There’s like 10 active guys that have done more than him for the game of baseball and that’s just off the top of my head. He really hasn’t used his stardom for good he just keeps to himself and stays out of the playoffs. He won’t really be missed as much as other veterans when he leaves

[@michaelmckean3014]

Skenes didn't start the year with pirates because of service time manipulation. All these analysts need to stop pretending they don't know why he didn't start up in the bigs

[@williammcnasty5854]

Then they might have to demote him, because if he finishes top two rookie of the year, it counts as a full year, if I am not mistaken.

[@timmerhill9358]

Yeah but they also get a draft pick

[@jackiemoon5906]

First time Skenes faced STL Miles Mikolas undoubtedly out-dueled him and this time he took his first loss to lance lynn. Baseball is weird sometimes

[@LanceSanchez-b5i]

How many seasons has Mike Trout been healthy from beginning to end? It feels like he’s on the IL more than not.

[@AtomicPunk51]

He should play in old-timers squad. From hence forth😅

[@greenebeane7]

Ya he ain’t the MLB’s guy hasn’t been for 10 years lol he needs to retire

[@Meetoon733]

As an angels fan i wish this team would just put us out of our misery ... im so sick of years of medicority, i hope they trade all their short term deals and guys like rengifo and ward but i know they wont. Send help 😢

[@squashandfries]

Mike Trout could retire today and still be an easy Hall of Famer to anyone who's remotely objective. The man has 86 bWAR & 85 fWAR as it stands. Plenty of HoFers in there now haven't done what Trout has done, already. Anything he does beyond this is icing on the cake. The real sad part is we may not see him hit that 500th homer.

[@greenebeane7]

He should retire he’s not doing anything good for baseball and he hasnt been for 4 years

[@JesusChrist2000BC]

Angels had a real opportunity to make the playoffs this year and Trout couldn't stay uninjured. The team has rallied around Ron and they are playing way above their level hoping that he was going to come back 100% guarantee this is going to tank their morale and they will end on a strong decline. The Trout Effect.

[@AtomicPunk51]

Sure explains why shohei wanted to get away from that team.

[@Fryed_Bryce]

Trev is a lizard guy? Lol. Does he have a katana on the wall above his bed too?

[@imhip510]

cz from here and out.... it only gon git worse..... so for the very very last time.... the great Mike the man known as fish is no more...

[@greenebeane7]

Trouts career batting average is better than his career full seasons per season played😂😂

[@azari215]

When do we stop talking about Mike Trout being an all time great? Plenty of people had amazing runs but didn’t stay consistent and to me he’s one of them

[@Sliqhs]

The guy's got the highest WAR among active players what are you talking about bud

[@azari215]

@@Sliqhs WAR is a nonsense stat. That also puts emphasis on certain positions. Also with his amazing WAR what has that done for the Angels? They must be winning a lot

[@germansanchez3043]

He’s just talking to talk. Mike didn’t just go on a “run”. Since the moment he got called up, he’s been arguably the best ball player on the planet. Look at his baseball reference page, if WAR isn’t what you fancy

[@azari215]

@@germansanchez3043 I’ve looked. And all I see is injuries. He Averages 52 games missed a season and has combined to miss over 30 percent of his career games.

[@timmerhill9358]

How old are you bro?? Mike trout was the model of consistency. He’s just getting old now. Definitely one of the GOATs of baseball

[@radamrussell]

Yeah. I have watched every inning of Skenes this year. I need to go back and watch more Sale and Wheeler before I say what I am feeling. But he just looks super dominant between the strikeouts, pitches that make MLB batters look silly and the weak contact. Seems like every one of the home runs he's given up has been first batter of the inning, first pitch. I agree that innings do matter...when they're quality innings and they keep your team in the game. I can't remember Skenes having a bad inning. On the other hand, I know Sale has had innings that his ineffectiveness put the game out of reach for Atlanta.

[@justinkeizer2386]

Shaming the A’s if they don’t trade Mason Miller is an all time lazy take Chris. I get what you’re saying but claiming that will fix the cycle is laughable

[@BT1919]

Why is he wrong? I’m not saying either one of you is of isn’t right of wrong, I’m just genuinely curious what you reasoning is

[@justinkeizer2386]

@@BT1919 from what I can see it feels like Chris is just falling into the easy narrative that the A’s just trade all of their players. While that has happened consistently for the last 5 years or so, it’s obvious that this shitty A’s ownership wants to have some shiny players to debut in Vegas. I never said he was wrong, just wish he took more of a genuine approach

The Angels got fleeced with that Trout contract, and they can't get rid of him now. Trout has been injured every year for the last four years, and he's just stealing money from the Angels now!

[@wiz6055]

Skenes will be the number one overall pick next year for fantasy. Dude has killed it this year. Almost in the top 25 and only had 12 starts .

[@josephamato2031]

Trout is so overrated and injury prome . Same thing every year.

[@kyland2394]

Injury prone yes, not overrated!

I think he is done for the season. They can only pray to get a few games out of him moving forward.

Overrated???? If he stopped playing right now he would have more war than a good chunk of HOF players.
