The Los Angeles Angels‘ season continues to go from bad to worse.
After a 14-game losing skid that saw them pull the plug on Joe Maddon as their manager and insert Phil Nevin into the role, the Angels have yet to find their footing again.
Things didn’t get any better for them on Tuesday night with the Chicago White Sox in town.
The Angels laid an egg in game two of their three-game set with the ChiSox, losing 11-4.
It’s even gotten to the point where the players are frustrated with one another.
MLB insider Adam Stites tweeted a video of a visibly frustrated Mike Trout trying to guide pitcher Elvis Peguero and get him to stop tipping his pitches.
Trouble In Paradise?
This just goes to show how bad things have gotten with the Angels.
Now, even the players are fed up with each other.
At least Trout was only fed up with how Peguero was tipping his pitches.
This is what happens when a team with a ton of talent on its roster starts to lose some ground in the standings and fall below the .500 mark.
The Angels are a good team on paper, but are not gelling at the moment.
Trout clearly was frustrated with Peguero and doing everything he could to try to guide him in order to get him to stop tipping pitches.
When pitchers tip pitches, bad things tend to happen.
The hitters can then center those pitches and hit them a long way, which is bad news for the pitcher and his team.
But you almost have to feel sorry for Trout here.
He’s the veteran leader and one of the stars, yet he has not had his fair share of opportunities to shine in the postseason.
