LA Times: For all their speed, Peter Bourjos and Mike Trout have few steals

[AngelsWin.com]

Trout, who had 49 stolen bases last season, has only three thus far and the Angels have just six as a team. Part of the drop-off is because of the Angels' power-hitting lineup.

— The Angels have two of the fastest players in baseball at the top of their lineup in Peter Bourjos and Mike Trout . But entering Thursday, Trout had three stolen bases in 20 games — far off last season's pace, when he swiped 49 — and Bourjos hadn't attempted to steal.

Yea no shit they have a dip shit for a coach and everybody in the world knows his signs. Even trout gets thrown out by a mile now. What a waste of talent.

Seriously trade them if you're gonna let their talents go to waste. F sosh

[gurn67]

Trout's GIDP rate is three times what it was last season with one of the fastest guys in the league holding at first.

[SoCALkid]

3 times from 20 games or all season?

When did Trout steal bases #2 and #3 ? I only remember the one in the blowout.

[AZMike]

Trout and Bourjos have 6 GIDPs between the two of them. That's equal to the total number of stolen bases by the Angels in 2013.

Let me get this straight, it is Scioscia's fault that Trout got thrown out?

Yes, everything is Sciosia's fault.

Trout being a little heavy and half step slower- Scioscia's fault

Pujols' bad foot- Mike is to blame

Hamilton's bad hitting (at the end of last season)- all on Sosh.

North Korea's nuke threats- firmly on Scioscia.

Why do some people have a hard time understanding this?
