Stare at fastballs down the middle early, swing at crap later, and then stare again if its a fastball down the middle.  Angels baseball is back.

HR and 3 K's...the new Trout

That's the same Trout as last year. We just have to accept that many of the outs he makes is going to be via the strikeout

[Taylor]

At least they didn't lose by 7 runs like last opening day.

 

Salas is pitching. Don't get your hopes up.

[JAHV76]

Nice takeaway Trout.

[laagamer]

Well that was cool. 

[Amazing Larry]

Trout with the routine robbery.

[FabulousFabregas]

I'll take the strikeouts for home runs and robbing home runs.  Nice catch Trout.

it's 2nd half Trout....when he hit .250 rather than .300 like we're accustomed to

[DB24]

I still believe Trout will cut down on the K’s

 

King Felix just brought his A game today.

[Hollyw00d]

I miss the old trout that made contact. This new Adam Dunn trout makes me sad

[laagamer]

Nice job Rodney. There's the closer I remember. 

[bloodbrother]

Yeah, I don't think it will be as ridiculous as last year was....but who knows. 2 of his K's today were those fastballs up in the zone and Trout can't hit them nor can he lay off them

[Jay]

Rodney giving us a chance

[Jason]

I still believe Trout will cut down on the K’s

 

King Felix just brought his A game today.

I don't think you see a drastic drop in the K rate. I think his BA is better though

[laagamer]

This ump is such a POS. 

[Jason]

Good job Freese

[bloodbrother]

Freese had the worst AB's of any hitter today. Yuck

[Hollyw00d]

freese's new body looked great on that GIDP

[Taylor]

Great effort, boys! I look forward to a similar display of flaccid and flailing offense tomorrow.

[tdawg87]

Freese had the worst AB's of any hitter today. Yuck

 

He hit the ball hard in that one AB though.

[Richard]

SEASON OVER.

[nando714]

Freese played like he wants a new contract today. .......from a Japanese team

[QuinlansMinion]

Just wait til we start facing crap pitchers.  You guys will see that this team can score as long as we arent facing a good pitcher.

[bloodbrother]

Only lost 4-1 rather than 10-3 like last year. That should help the run differential as the season goes on
