I’m not a fan of the new Mike Trout. I miss the old one. I long for the top of the order small ball hitter, who changed games with his speed and his glove. I miss the lead off guy who set the steak for Pujols, not this new power pull hitter looking to eat off the shananigans of Pete Bourjos.
The worst thing that ever happened to Mike Trout was hitting 30 home runs. He hit them on accident. His compact swing and his plate discipline, resulted in middle of the diamond fast balls. As a result of this success, the kid gained 15 pounds of unnecessary muscle in the off season and lost his dynamic first step.
Was that necessary in a lineup with Albert Pujols, Josh Hamilton and Mark Trumbo? Through May 2nd, the now left fielder, is hitting a lusterless .263 with only three jacks and four stolen bases. He continues to look for the long ball and his patience has gone to waste as he’s consistently falling into unfavorable counts.
The Angels could muster all of four hits in last night’s 5-1 loss to the visiting Baltimore Orioles. Trout and the rest of the team are pressing. Now 10-18, they sit in last place in the AL West — and I’m worried.
