Los Angeles Angeles is in a tailspin. On May 24, they had a game with the Astros at 27-17 — AL West. They have now lost 27-28, 11 straight, including a broom by the Blue Jays, Yankees and now Phillies. Shohei Ohtani is batting.171 in that stretch, and has dropped nine runs in his two recent starts to lose each. Mike Trout is in the worst situation of his career; He hitless in his last 26 at-bat. In this weekend’s series in Philadelphia, he went 0 for 11.
These kinds of slides can happen even to great players, even good teams can lose, but you already know that. I write this because it continues to be a trend for trout In PhillyWhere he has now played five times on the street. (In addition to this series, he played there twice in 2014.) In those games, 20 for 2, including trout, a single and a triple. He has made three walks, including seven strikeouts, a stolen base and a run. Alas!
This is the size of a small specimen, and if Trout returns to the area within another seven years, he will probably hit a ball so hard that it will reach the casino behind the center field. Phillies fans must have been thrilled to see the Angels star player fight on the Weekend Sweep Plate, which ended yesterday with walkoff Bryson Stott Homer. But two tours to Philadelphia so far in Trout’s career have disappointed his most ardent and long-lasting fans.
Because Trout Phyllis grew up in the country. He came from the town of Milville, South Jersey, about an hour outside Philly, and was a high school star there. Because of his exploits in more remote areas of Milville Garden State, his exploits were initially known to Winland readers. Daily Journal And fellow South Jersey native favorites Michael Bowman. Trout’s time was also long ago, so long ago that his Millville High School team had a tradition of bleaching their blonde hair. The trout was certainly great. He loaded the base and walked. He threw an 18-strikeout no-hitter before heading to the outfield. Daily JournalBen Watanabe told her 2008 that “the most impressive season in the area since Tim Admids in 2003.” Since Tim Admids! (He played in WVU and Rowan.) And it was Trout’s junior year.
In his senior year, when Trout moved to the outfield, he hit .581 with 18 homers and 20 steels (just 81 at-bat). He was a star that a reader wrote about Daily Journal To tell Trout to go to college (he was committed in East Carolina): “And without a college education, which is almost essential in today’s world, where would his future be? Did anyone bother to take the time to consider it? ”There was one Feedback The next day, Tim Shannon, then mayor of Milwaukee, said: “I have known the Trout family all my life, and the future of Jeff and Debbie’s son will be secure, no matter which path this young man chooses.… We must embrace the young people Sacrifice to be able, and all our young people should be encouraged to work hard to achieve their goals Mike Trout has proved that anything is possible with hard work and determination. The mayor finished the letter by asking for a ticket.
Trout dropped out of college after being drafted by the Angels in the first round and reached the majors by 2011. If you’ve read this, you probably don’t need to say that Trout is one of the best players of his generation, despite the recent recession he has led the league more than once in terms of on-base-percentage, slugging and walking. He is a three-time MVP. Her number basically makes her already Hall of Fame, and she’s only 30. And when he got into the big leagues, he was still a star in South Jersey.
“He grew up with a smile on his face, fishing in Union Lake,” Shannon said in 2012. She loves this place, and, man, she loves it. I’m telling you, what he’s doing has brought a spring to the steps of a lot of people around here. ” The World Series wins and wins the 102-win season: “On the first day of The Camp, I asked the kids if they’d see Phyllis, since it’s really our local team. And the kids were, ‘No, we see angels.’ They make a catch and they shout, “Mike Trout! Mike Trout!” Philadelphia Magazine’s story about Milville in 2013 summed up locals’ opinions about the man: “He’s a good kid.” (Fellow baseball players seem to have the same opinion.)
And Mayor Shannon got his ticket – many of them. When Trout first played in Philadelphia in 2014, 8,000 people from the Millville area took part in a game. The city then had about 28,000 people. The mayor credited Mike Trout for keeping the city together: “We’ve had some difficult times with unemployment, crime and factory closures, but what keeps us going is Mike. Our pride is swollen. ” There is even one Mike Trout exchange Route 55.
Trout originally became a local celebrity in the Philadelphia area. Local news sites combine his thoughts on the Eagle’s offseason run as he profiles Sal Paolantonio, and his presence on the stand as an Eagle season ticket holder. He “fromTo Philly“And why not? If the sleeping car dealers in the Sixers game could be a local celebrity, they could certainly be an incredibly great baseball player – even if he’s actually from Jersey and playing all over the country. Tried to greet Phyllis.
This weekend’s series was another Millville party. The Atlantic City Press Says “a few thousand” fans in the Millville area traveled to Phyllis Stadium this weekend to see Trout go to 0 for 11.
I was in the Phillies game when Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds hit huge home runs. I think I’ve expressed a little resentment about cheering for the opponent, but it has ruled out. Once Bond became unpopular, Phyllis fans scolded him when he approached Babe Ruth’s record কিন্তু but then hit home run No. 713 with the top deck, shouting in surprise and showing their true colors. It would be nice if Mike Trout got that kind of moment too.
For now, though, he can meet at least some friends: “It’s definitely better to come back. I want other results, but it’s nice to see some people I haven’t seen in a while. “
