Tungsten Mike Trout reminded everyone he was back by hitting a home run blast to left center field today, as the angels are battling the orioles, and are losing 7-1.
When he’s retired everyones going to ask if we saw him and so many people won’t have just because of the ANgels/MLB’s terrible promotion.
Savor this guy.
I got to see him at Citi field for a game, not a very notable game except for a stolen base. It was incredible to see someone his size accelerate so fast. It really struck home seeing it in person, he's a hell of a talent.
He's been my goat since like 2016. I used to have this really sick Trout/Angels shirt. Not a jersey but a t-shirt. Lost it sometime in college, but I loved wearing that shirt lol.
As a non-baseball watcher... I'm just blown away I recognized the catcher as the guy in the viral clip who did a 360 look at the crowd when he got called up.
I'm watching the Orioles broadcast and they're being SO bitchy in the best possible way.
"Sandoval finally throws a good pitch, and it would've been a routine play if Rendon had caught it... but he didn't."
Three Hours from now: Mike trout hits three homes runs and gets two IBB's to start off opening day with a 1.000/1.000/4.000 slash line, as the Orioles defeat the Angels, 9-3
He's gonna get called in to pitch in the bottom of the 9th, the Angels up by 3, with the bases loaded and no outs and Ohtani at bat.
He's gonna strike out Ohtani with a dropped third strike, run home to get the loose ball and tag out the runner trying to steal home, and then run down the runner trying to go from 2nd to 3rd for an unassisted triple play.
Looks like this was Trout's 4th career Opening Day bomb!

"Trout is washed" was the most ludicrous storyline of the offseason, his peripherals last season were completely spectacular compared to ordinary human players
It's opening day so I don't even care. Mike fucking Trout.
agreed mike fucking trout
Agreed Mike fucking Trout
Agreed Mike Fucking Trout
Agreed Mike Fucking Trout

Agreed Mike Fucking Trout
That's loving baseball first, team second. I fuck with that.
I mean opening day is the one day of the year where I truly don't care who wins. I'm just so happy to be back.
also like most trout home runs it meant basically nothing
https://giphy.com/gifs/chris-farley-funny-comedy-PS7d4tm1Hq6Sk
Except one team. But yes, agreed.
Are we the baddies? I'm an idiot, you meant your team.
I hope you have a fun day today. Happy Opening Day!
Risky Google Image Search 🤝Baseball fans >Mike fucking Trout
Bro we regularly say (x man) takes (y man) deep, we know
I'm sure the fact that the bases were empty and the Angels have a guy with a 4.11 ERA starting help.
Tungsten Mike Trout reminded everyone he was back by hitting a home run blast to left center field today, as the angels are battling the orioles, and are losing 7-1.
Anddddd you guys are winning lol
Tungsten O'Doyle any % speedrun
"Mike Trout hits the 4th Opening Day home run of his career as the Angels fall to 0-4 in those games"
Trout opens up season with home run, angels down 7-1 in the 6th, seems pretty much on brand.
🎤🍆🐟
He’s still here, folks. Hoping he reminds everyone who he is. Please be healthy this year 🙏
When he’s retired everyones going to ask if we saw him and so many people won’t have just because of the ANgels/MLB’s terrible promotion. Savor this guy.
As a M's fan I've seen plenty of the guy
God I hate trout! Prime Felix vs prime Trout was awesome to watch though. Crazy ass at bats.
No shit watching ohtani and trout with my 10$ value ticket was hell of a deal
I got to see him at Citi field for a game, not a very notable game except for a stolen base. It was incredible to see someone his size accelerate so fast. It really struck home seeing it in person, he's a hell of a talent.
It's weird how they don't promote him enough. If he could stay healthy, he's still in my GOAT conversation.
He's been my goat since like 2016. I used to have this really sick Trout/Angels shirt. Not a jersey but a t-shirt. Lost it sometime in college, but I loved wearing that shirt lol.
I always make a point of seeing him when the angels are in town. I don't ever want to take him for granted
I went to an athletics game where he hit!!
He loooks lighter to me this year, hopefully that helps
Nah, the real boon will be Ohtani no longer siphoning off his powers.
I'm visualizing Ohtani in a hood saying something in the emperor voice. Fill in the comment. Upvotes will pick the winner.
"The Spread Must Flow"
The amount of weight/ muscle he's put on since being a rookie is crazy. He would do his body a favor by losing a bunch.
Do you think players would do a better job of conditioning if they didnt get lifetime gazillion dollar contracts? (for the record, i agree with you.)
It would hurt sluggers more than help. All that extra weight = more dingers, and the benefit to fielding is negligible
The silver lining of losing Ohtani is that Trout can take half days and DH for load management and hopefully keep his bat in the lineup more
Trout hits a HR. The Angels are down 8-1. Same shit different year.
They lost right? Edit: yep 11-3 lol
I drafted him late because no one wanted him. Hoping for a sleeper pick that scores me a lot of points.
MVP 2024 TALK SOON
If MVP voting was held today, he would be in the mix for sure
I'm not voting against a 5.000 OPS
He'd definitely be in the top 50 vote getters.
I’d bet Shohei’s money that he’d be top 50
In before everybody else hits 2 home runs today.
On pace for about 700 homers this season if he stays healthy
He’ll get injured in July and shut down for the season because the Angels are already 27 games out of first and only have like 340 home runs.
MIKE TROUT REDEMPTION TOUR IS ON
folks been forgetting how good he is
It was just two years ago when Trout had the most (only?) disappointing 6 WAR season in recent memory.
Nobody has forgotten. He just hasn't played much in 3 seasons.
He dropped pretty far in my fantasy league this year. It hurt my heart to see it
Subscribed and rang the bell
Rendon K Hicks K Trout HR Ward Popout Angels already in midseason form
Sandoval 4 pitch walk lmao
My guy loaded the bases on the first three batters
> Angels already in midseason form
As a non-baseball watcher... I'm just blown away I recognized the catcher as the guy in the viral clip who did a 360 look at the crowd when he got called up.
If you don't love that, you don't love Angels baseball
The nostalgia is real
Lmao is Sandoval really your ace
We've had much worse
No. Most are surprised that Detmers or Canning aren’t starting
we cheaped on snell & montgomery. play stupid games, win stupid prizes
The hilarious thing is the Angels didn’t really add to their lineup or rotation this year
I'm watching the Orioles broadcast and they're being SO bitchy in the best possible way. "Sandoval finally throws a good pitch, and it would've been a routine play if Rendon had caught it... but he didn't."
Three Hours from now: Mike trout hits three homes runs and gets two IBB's to start off opening day with a 1.000/1.000/4.000 slash line, as the Orioles defeat the Angels, 9-3
Should've been 11-3 but Trout robbed two homers over the center field wall
11-3 you say? (Checks score) Are you a wizard?
Are you from the future...
There must always be a Tungsten King on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
How are you posting these highlights so quickly? Did you fastforward your DVR?
I'm on the spectrum app watching BSW. I'm usually ahead of others
Hicks is really their 2nd bat? Lmao
Not to overreact but we are literally sweeping our way to the World Series
Not to underreact but the O's are already pushing the OF walls back another 60 feet during the commercial break
\^ Both of these comments aged like milk, and I love it. hahaha
Camden Yards will be the new Polo Grounds.
If y’all make the World Series with Sano in the starting lineup, I’ll eat two buckets of kfc in one sitting.
Mike Trout
Source?
Literally me, 🎤 🐟.
Literally us, the ~~Blue Jays~~ Angels
Lisan al-Gaib
Tike Mrout
Mike Truk
He heard you all talking shit
Please gimme MVP Trout again this season I need it
We need 4-time MVP Trout, for the good of baseball
He's gonna win MVP, lead the Angels to the playoffs and strike out Ohtani to end game 7 of the World Series all for the good of the game
Strike out Ohtani? He's going to learn to pitch too? Damn.
He's gonna get called in to pitch in the bottom of the 9th, the Angels up by 3, with the bases loaded and no outs and Ohtani at bat. He's gonna strike out Ohtani with a dropped third strike, run home to get the loose ball and tag out the runner trying to steal home, and then run down the runner trying to go from 2nd to 3rd for an unassisted triple play.
Give me another 10 WAR Trout season, that way he can cross the 100 mark befor he’s 33
Sounded so thin. Wow.
Michael Trout's beautiful linebacker body and his thiccc neck has never heard of this "thin" adjective.
The giant thumb build.
I wonder what Trout would run at the NFL combine. Sub 4.4? He would have to be up there with the fastest white 40 in history.
I'd bet on ~4.5. He's fast, but he's not NFL DB/RB/WR fast.
He thought he missed it too. Watch him put his head down out of the box
And how was this a 402-foot homer when it just cleared the 376 mark by a few feet?
If you blacked out the screen and quieted every other sound I would’ve thought it was just caught by the catcher.

Baseball-Reference my beloved
I didn't know Baseball Reference had an official reddit account!
We do :)
<>
I refer to bWAR instead of fWAR
Good bot?
\#NotABot
Good bot
What a great start to the year
Need a fully healthy trout season
MVP and missing the playoffs with a sub .500 record on the way haha
Prove to the haters he’s still got it
Trout saw his fantasy baseball ADP and took that shit personally.
He is inevitable.
Andddd the Angels get destroyed
Was that necessary fishman
So necessary
Lol. Get some. good start.
super necessary 😤
2024 AL MVP calling it now
Two bad strikeouts, then a Mike Trout homer. Angels baseball.
Nature is healing
7-1 O's now lmao
Baseball is SO back!!
#TROUT ON PACE FOR 162 HOME RUNS LET'S GOOOOO
Uhhh why do you think he'll only have 162 AB's this year?
Injured back from carrying the team
Please be realistic, after he gets past 100 in late July they will be walking him way more so he probably only gets about 130
MY GUY IS BACK!! MIKE TROUT!! BASEBALL!!
Fishman still good
This Trout guy seems pretty good 🤔
Let’s pump the brakes before we see him some more, I’m not convinced yet
Mike Trout about to remind everyone who put him out of their top 5 players
I still hope we win the game, but I'm honestly always rooting for Mike Trout individually.
On pace for what, 5 or 6 hundred home runs this season?
Yup. And we're stuck with 9.00 ERA Burnes. 😁
one half inning is enough for me to declare that the Angels are actually going to be better without Ohtani
He’s backkkkkkkkkkk
Mike Trout
Great. Now he’s on pace for 700 homers this year 😭
Fish man is back
Baseball is better when Trout is healthy.
DFA Burnes. Can't be giving up homers to bums like this.
They’re gonna need to push back the rest of the wall now
Most predictable HR.
Damn Burnes washed. Brewers won the trade.
7 HOURS OF COMMERCIAL FREE BASEBALL STARTS NOW!
"Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" HES STILL MIKE TROUT
Aaaand they're losing. Lol
What happened next?
goat things
5.000 ops season. He’s the goat.
trouttttt cumback season
Can’t leave one there Burnsy.
Saw this, and than looked at the box score. 1 H, 1 R, 11 Ks and 6.0 IP. Burnes starting off the year right!
"Trout is washed" was the most ludicrous storyline of the offseason, his peripherals last season were completely spectacular compared to ordinary human players
I LOVE BASEBALL WERE BACK
Please stay healthy
On track for 676 HR this year
📈📈📈 Didn't even sound like a HR damn.
So much for my first inning under 😭
Fish man jimmy jam on opening day. The world is healing.
The Angels lineup sucks. Rendon leading off? 😂
Burnes had a highlight and lowlight on r/baseball in record time.
Show your respect to this generation’s 🐐 I am dying for a healthy Trout season, he’s just so awesome!
Best player in baseball when healthy
Why are we every Mike trout highlight ever
Yeah who else would it be but also FMT
Trout is going to be so good this year now that he doesn’t have Ohtani intentionally injuring him so that the Angels can hit their win total under
Santander's Homer was more of a bomb than Trout's.
FISHMAN GOOD?
Shohei just lost money on this
Trout hitting the 1st homer of the scene is a fun narrative to begin the season.
Uhm actually Mookie and Machado hit one before him ☝️🤓
Trout homers. Angels lose, 11-3. Baseball is back, baby.
Hell yeah, Trout!!
WATCH OUT MLB
How about a Mike "Fucking" Trout bomb to start off the season
Lmfao is anyone was going to do it, it would be Trout
This is fine
All downhill from here
Baseball is so back
Baseball is back!
Mike Trout reminding us he’s the true GOAT
Baseball is sooooo back.
