Mark Trumbo & Mike Trout An Explosive Duo

Found July 10, 2012 on Angelswin: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Mark Trumbo,  Mike Trout,  Jose Bautista
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels,  Toronto Blue Jays
Mlb-all-star-futures-game
  By Christian Ilten - AngelsWin.com Contributor Trout, 20, leads the American League with a .341 (88-for-258) batting average and 26 steals for the Angels while Angels outfielder Mark Trumbo boasts a sick .306/.358/.608 slash line, with 22 Trumbombs and 57 runs batted in.  #44 made it to the second round tonight in the home run derby, his first of the slugger's bright career, edging out other All-Star greats, but failed to beat Jose Bautista in the five pitch pitchoff. But that's OK people, he represented the Angels well and powered some of the longest home runs on the evening in front of a national audience and there's a good shot he'll knock one out tomorrow evening for the American League.  There's been a ton of posts on the internet, Tweets on Twitter and news articles on what Angels fans are calling the T.N.T. boys in Trumbo and Trout, so instead of providing you something you've already read I created this video to let Trumbo and Trout do...

MLB Mid-Season Report: 5 Reasons Why Angels OF Mike Trout is NOT Your AL MVP

Via Unathletic  |  July 10, 2012
If you follow baseball you know that a wave of youth is taking over the league. Included in this wave is phenom OF Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels. Mike Trout is a stud. I do believe he’s going to be the best player in Major League Baseball very shortly if he isn’t already….. However, every “expert” in the game has declared Mike Trout the mid-season MVP of the American...

Trout's arrival kick-started Angels into contention

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  July 09, 2012
The Los Angeles Angels' first half featured an old double-play combo. "We've been, in the first half, like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," manager Mike Scioscia said Sunday. "We know the really poor start that we got off to. We also know the untapped potential that was in this team early. We're seeing it start to surface." The Texas Rangers -- with the...

Los Angeles Angels' Mike Trout, New York Yankees' Robinson Cano Favored to Win AL MVP

Via NESN.com  |  July 11, 2012
Only two players in Major League Baseball history have won both the Rookie of the Year and MVP awards in the same season. Of course Boston fans know one of them: outfielder Fred Lynn in his memorable 1975 campaign. The other was Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki in 2001. Current Los Angeles Angels rookie outfielder Mike Trout could make it a trio as he is now the 5-2 co-favorite at Bovada...

Trout highlights LA's All-Star Game showing

Mike Trout couldn't have enjoyed a better night for his first All-Star Game. The Angels rookie got a single off New York Mets knuckleballer RA Dickey, stole a base and caught a fly ball in left field. All in all, he couldn't have asked for anything more. Trout and teammates Jered Weaver and Mark Trumbo all got playing time Tuesday, as did Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw...

David Ortiz Dishes Out Advice to Jose Bautista, Mark Trumbo While Wearing Camera During Home Run Derby (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  July 10, 2012
David Ortiz knows how to have a good time at the All-Star Game, and he's no slouch at the Home Run Derby, either. Big Papi wore a Looxcie camera during Monday's festivities for WEEI.com and the footage offers a first-person look at Jose Bautista putting on a show. It's no Being John Malkovich, but it's still pretty cool to see what Papi is seeing as he makes his way...

Yankeetorial: At the half, let's enjoy the lead that we might not be seeing in future All-Star breaks

Used to be, a Bryce Harper blossomed in another market, and it was only a matter of time before he would become a Yankee. Old George always had hooks in the water - even if they snagged Steve Trout rather than a Mike Trout - and the baseball world always grimaced and awaited our inevitable signing. But remember: In the movie, when they capture King Kong, they don't bring...

MLB Midseason Awards

The Obligatory MLB Mid-season Awards Post

Via The Scores Report  |  July 10, 2012
The All-Star Game is tonight, and after it we’ll have a dearth of baseball to watch until Friday, so there really isn’t all that much for me to write about this week. As such, I’ll be deciding who’d win each of Major League Baseball’s most prestigious awards if they handed them out at the halfway point too. I know it’s what everybody else is doing, but the last thing...

My Mid-Season Awards

Just an obligatory annual post while I'm obligatorily watching the All-Star Game: [platoonadvantage] American League MVP: Mike Trout It's worth noting that this is all a product of approximately the last three weeks: he's been very good (at least) since day one, but starting with his 4-for-4 game on June 19, Trout hit .389/.432/.634 to close out the first half. He...

Progress Report: Dishing Out the First Half Grades

Via The Sports Headquarters  |  July 09, 2012
Before the season, Bryan Doherty and I dished out awards and final standings based on player and team projections we felt were logical assumptions. Now that we both see how terribly wrong we both were, like most preseason projections in the history of preseason projections world wide, I can now step back and re-assess the MLB at the All Star Break. Like every season of every sports...
