Kind of like how CPAMAN remembers that he came up with Byron Buston.

It was Todd. He came up with it after his first minor league game.

We need to talk more about what this guy is doing:

In the month of June, Mike Trout is hitting .439/.535/.772. He currently leads the league in the following categories: home runs (23), runs (60), walks (62), on-base percentage (.464), OPS (1.152) OPS+ (217), and total bases (176). The best way to talk about Mike Trout’s season is to just be as blunt as possible: nobody in the history of baseball has ever played baseball this well.

And oh yeah....he has reached base safely in 25 of his last 32 plate appearances. How's that for amazing?!?!

What is even more amazing is that Dustin was comparing our own Byron Buxton to be the next Mike Trout in the league except faster and better defensively. Buxton was to replace Trout as the perennial All Star CF.

Idiot.

Should not be paid a single dime while he is out. That is 100% his own fault.

Trout on an insane .696 clip
Angels star hitting .696 with 4 HRs, 9 RBIs over last 37 PAs

Why would teams continue to give him meat to hit? Throw pitches "around" the plate but not down the middle.

Chisenhall scratched from Wednesday's lineup with "bi-lateral' calf soreness.

Kole Calhoun is back.

My apologies, but I like him.

Half of the Twins lineup should be inspired by his bounce back.

Perspective: according to ESPN, Trout is on pace for 22 IBB this season. 2004, Barry Bonds had 120 IBB's. Let that sink in.

362/609/812/1.422. 232 Walks, more than half of them were intentional. That was his season at 39 years old.

Trout is amazing. He's not historically amazing, yet.

Pujols and Beltre the only two Dominicans with 3,000+ hits.

Go ahead and believe that if you want to. Trout is a juicer.

Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna has been suspended for 75 games for violating Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy, Commissioner Rob Manfred announced on Friday.
Osuna was placed on administrative leave on May 8 after he was arrested that day by Toronto police on suspicion of assaulting a woman. He plead not guilty to the assault charge.
Osuna was suspended without pay and can return on August 4. His suspension is retroactive to May 8, and he has agreed to not appeal it.

Don't know how "stacked" their farm system is.

The PCL bandboxes skew stats for AAA prospects more than any league in baseball.
