When did I say Harper is better than trout? I'm just trying to figure out where the hate stems from, and it's apparently because he's not as good as trout

Naw, it's because Harper is a douchebag. And he's a mediocre ballplayer.

And everyone knows it. 

For some reason, that's just flown over your head.

Yup mediocre. That's how you lose credibility, or would've lost credibility if you had any

Who brought up trout and macahdo?

These three are considered three of the best young players in the game.

Harper is cocky. When you act like you're the best ever, you're going to get a lot of hate. And the funny thing is that he is barely hitting over .200 in the postseason in his career with over 70 at bats. NoBueno!

I'm not the one fighting for some dude who sucks at baseball, can't make contact in the DIVISIONAL SERIES WITH 1 RUN DOWN? Dude gave up. Threw the towel. Trout NEVER gives up. Never will. 

You lost credibility the second you put that asshat's pic on your avatar.

Always has been, always will be. 

He's so much dreamier too. 

I have not found a chick that would not give him a shot. I ask them all the time. 

 

Harper? 

 

YEEESH!

Harper has only had like 1.5 elite seasons. Trout has had 6 elite seasons. And his "worst" year, he still won the AL MVP. Harper can't say that.

Preaching to the crowd, sir. 

 

Trout deserves a winning team. He has earned it. Arte better give it to him or I'm gonna shit bricks.

I think if the Angels somehow sign Darvish or Arrieta, they will make the postseason next year and beyond. I see a bounce back year from Calhoun and Pujols can't do worse than this year.  Upton might leave but I still think a starter of that caliber can have more impact that people don't see from the naked eye.

Calhoun is a saint. I love that red haired motherf***er! He's Erstad of 2018. I would trust him over anyone in right field. He deserves better than what he's gotten. 

A SAINT! DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!

Pujols, oh for the love of christ, he's just...he's gonna be here. I'm blown away by Arte's throwing money into fire tactics. It just fascinates me.

I mean there are world class teams out there and we're still dealing with stupid Arte's dumb money burning tactics with horrible players who don't do crap and it just amazes me that people actually show up to the games or wanna pay money at his dump of a stadium for beer or food it's downright embarrassing at this point, egg splattered all over Artes dumb face and spending but nobody wants to say it, but holy hell man you spent a quarter of a million on a dude nobody cares about meanwhile you have the most amazing phenom in baseball since Mantel and the asshat can't even *try* to get him in the playoffs it is driving me up the wall. 

*deep breaths I'm good*

 

 

I'm really just sad Trout isn't in the playoffs and Jeter sucked ass but since he was in the playoffs so often people think he's great even though he's not and goddammit, Trout should be there every year! I mean it!. Why can't Arte get his head out of his ass!?

 

existential crisis I'm leaving bye

Well, I have noticed that Calhoun is good with the bat in even years but decent in odd years. So, going by that pattern, he should have a good year with the bat in 2018.

Cool story, m0nkey. You should tell it at parties.

Naw it's because Trout is relentlessly better and wouldn't have K'd there but for some reason there are fans that just can't stop sniffin' Harpers azz. 

Kershaw is all los doyers have, that being said, they are swinging the bats like a championship team. 

It's gonna be tough for the cubbies, they gotta come right out of the gate and show they ain't bullshittin. 

The 'Stros are going to have to be pivotal, perfect, and tough against the stanks. It's like CNN, all of the MLB wants the stanks to win, and the 'stros are gonna have to outplay them and just take it from out under their feet, no matter how much the media and umps undermine them.

Not good enough to even make contact on a ball when he's down by 1 run in a playoff game where he coulda tied it up. Harper is a non leader pussy. 

Trout probably would though. Cause that's just who he is. But my Angels can't make a playoff game to save my life and it makes me...it just...

In game 2, already trailing the series 1-0, the Angels down to their last out, Mike Trout strikes out swinging.  

https://www.mlb.com/video/holland-wraps-up-game-2/c-36742111

 

In game 3, win or go home, the Angels down to their last out, Mike Trout strikes out swinging on 3 pitches.

If that isn't giving up, I don't know what is anymore

He didn't represent the tying run at the plate though in either plate appearances. Harper did last night, though.

Oh well in that case, much better! Phew!

 

Is that supposed to help or hurt him?  He didn't have as much on the line, so he wanted to outdo is game ending 4 pitch strikeout in game 2 by striking out on 3 pitches in game 4?
