I legitimately wonder if Stephen A Smith has ever watched an entire sporting event like even once
He's too busy watching his hairline moonwalking
An empty head talking his typical nonsense.
Your full of shit. Mike Trout has limited himself to playing for the same comical franchise, that is 100% on HIM. Period! Nobody's fault but his own. I suppose YOU'RE more qualified than Stephen A right??
Stepen A Smith is a shock jock. He puts on an over-the-top act for ratings. The unhinged personality is a character of himself he created. He likely doesn't actually believe the insane opinions he speaks on camera.
I am a huge Angels fan and Trout sticking with us is an actual miracle, I just want to have one person that is relevant at all times
I love that you commented on this
You sound like how I talk about the Cleveland browns, we are both delusional people lol
No other team offered him more money
Not much of a “miracle” lol
Angels fan and a Packers fan. Geez. How do you wake up everyday
Playing for the Angels you are always swimming upstream. (Trout, Salmon)
Sometimes loyalty is misplaced, and conceals a lack of strong boundaries
Sell the team
Lol
Ahhh the magic cure… gtfoh
As an Angels fan….Please sell the team
@@kingrama2727 I mean Arte bought the team in 2003 right after they won the World Series and they haven’t been relevant since. He wants to win but he’s doing it wrong
@@timmyturntjokes on you. I’m a pirates fan at least you got the World Series in 2002 lol. Sell the team nutting!!
lol raid shadow legends is the ultimate sponsor
That was hilarious.
He did that transition like a pro... had me for a split second there
It's bizarre, he's a generational talent, has an insane amount of career WAR, played with another generational talent for 6 years, and will likely be a first ballot Hall of Famer .... but did not win a single playoff GAME.
It's not his fault the organization failed him. They had the two best players in the league and didn't do a thing to show for it.
It's not the nba. He had a 3 game sample, and people are citing that as a failure lol. 3 games. Everyone's been cold for 3 games
@@kenw2225 I mean could you imagine if the headline was that he never played a single playoff game. It's incredibly sad that 3 games is the most he has played.
@@Bsnowman22 It was his fault when he decided to stay with them for the rest of his career.
generational talent don't always equate to playoff success, look at griffey, arod, bonds. how many world series combined?
There is not any criticism of Trout that is relevant. He is royalty here in Orange County and is a class act all the way. His latest injury has probably been happening for a while and it just tears when it wants with as little as a step. That's the meniscus. The tear doesn't hurt until it does. There is no better man in pro sports. Every ounce of the blame is on the owner whose reputation in Orange County is trash!
You mean Los Angeles?
@@JonnyMom5 They don't even play in Los Angeles....
That’s your problem. The incessant hero worship of a guy who has been irrelevant to the success of his team. You’re paying $30 million the last 4 years for a bench jockey. However great he was, his career .087 average in the playoffs is disgraceful, and his potential to help you in the meantime is extremely limited.
If we judge anyone on 3 random games, we will be saying the same about everyone. What a clown take. He was the best player for like 5 years. The best in the world. Can't do much more than that. Clown
@@kenw2225 you seem upset. Fact remains, can’t win with him, can’t win without him. He’s irrelevant to the team’s success because, believe it or not, one good player does not a good team make. He couldn’t even perform in tandem with ohtani because he’s older and injury prone at this point. His legacy as an excellent regular season player and no show in the playoffs just isn’t impressive to me.
Trout was banking on some kid praying for an Angels championship run and actual Angels would come to help them cheat
😂
Love the reference. Great movie.
Bro I straight up skipped 10 seconds when you said "but first let me talk about raid shadow"😂 Well played sir
This situation has some parallels with Joe Mauer. Prodigious baseball talent sticks with one team despite poor playoff records? Uncomplicated private life? Ownership that could build around them but consistently cheaped out? Alluring trade value diminished by injury-related downturns?
Now it’s not a perfect parallel. Trout isn’t playing for his hometown team. Trout is an overall better player than Mauer. Trout has barely been in the playoffs whereas the Twins kept getting fed to the Yankees in the first rounds (except 2006, where we were swept by Oakland). There were more solid to good players around Mauer (call some of that nostalgia on my part, as these are my childhood-adolescent teams). The Polhads may suck, but they aren’t Arte Moreno. Hell, the Angels didn’t need to worry about whether they would exist when Trout made the show!
While we can comfort ourselves that Trout is a lock for the HOF first round, it is cold comfort.
Yeh I was thinking this compares to mauer in some ways too.
“Poor playoff record” at least those Twins teams made the postseason. The Angels can’t even sniff 4th place in their division if they tried and Trout was healthy and active for all 162🤣🤣🤣
Mauer came to mind, too.
Ernie Banks and others from prior to the free agency period. Tony Gwynn in the free agent period but at least the Padres had post-season runs.
I guess I am the outlier….he didn’t have to sign that 430 million contract. He could have tested the waters. Either way, he needs to quit center field and maybe be a DH to let his body heal. Loyalty only gets you so far and every person in the world knows you need to pull the trigger and leave your job for other pastures when the cards fall a certain way. I wouldn’t judge him if he requested a trade. When your franchise is doing worse than the Atheltics, it’s time to make a change.
It’s pretty pathetic that the Angels had arguably 2 of the most talented players of all time without a single post season appearance
I think he just likes the area. Would it be best for his career if he requested a trade? Probably. But it may not be best for he and his family. You could argue that he could request a trade to the Dodgers so he can stay in LA... but that would be a bit crazy. That teams already stacked.
Would it be a shame if he didn't get a world series ring? Yep. But he's already proven he's an MVP, is probably a fist ballet HOFer, beloved by every Angels fan, and doing a sport he loves.
I think its way harder than people realize to go to free agency when staring down huge guaranteed money like that. He still had a year left on his contract when they offered him a $426M extension. You have no guarantee that you wont get injured that season. Imagine the same story but how he tore his ACL or meniscus during his last year and missed that big contract. I know for myself it would be extremely hard to say no to $426M when you would have to play your best for a contract and not get hurt as well. So, sure, he didn't have to sign the contract, but he probably had a bunch of people telling him to sign it and protect his future.
@@zack1610brother it’s BEYOND pathetic… and as a White Sox fan yes I get shitting on our current dumpster fire of a franchise is all fun and games but to me, the angels whiffing on any postseason success with both Shohei and Trout is LEVELS worse than anything my white Sox have done in the past century Lmfao.
What the angels have done is truly an all time L and I don’t know why it’s not talked about more.
Makes you respect Juan Soto more for turning down that nationals contract
As a Rangers fan, I grew up watching him.I've seen him live more times, then i can count always a class act we should stride to be more like him. Also, op cringe af
strive*
We should strive to be like him? Is he the Messiah?
I'm shocked that this narrator was able to speak for eleven minutes with barely a pause for taking a breath. Remarkable. News networks should be aware of this incredible feat.
Lol
Must be new to the channel, he’s been consistent like Trout in this way
Thank you for your attempt to offer something constructive in the form of a comment,@@drewzalo. Unfortunately, we're now aware that your reading comprehension skills are poor. Would you be willing to share with us why that is?
@@jackj5368 not sure your response is in alignment with my comment, which was a compliment to iTalksStudios consistency of quality. Be well
@@jackj5368 you’re welcome, be well
Hey Italk can you make a video on Shota Imanaga? Dude is literally making history!
Wow you loved my comment so quick
@@brentmcmillin1247yeah so? If you didn’t finish before he was done that’s on you brotha
Wdym?
@@brentmcmillin1247 guy is supremely deserving of his own video but i've waited for the one i'm watching now because someone reported that trout had a CAREER batting average of .220. like hell he does. imanaga isn't sitting on a 6.27 ERA either!
Mike Trout 220 career average? what the hell?
It simply has to be a systematic problem with the Angels. Either coaching or the executive or the scouting, it's ridiculous.
Arte Moreno literally only funds the top of the MLB roster. It’s five guys surrounded by AAAA and AAA players. The farm system is a joke with no funding for player development, training, nutrition, etc.
I appreciate your work ethic man, also the Raid Shadow Legends fake out got me.
Should have come home to Philly and played either left or right field. Perhaps he stays healthier
I would love to see Trout on a winning team but maybe he is happy just playing baseball and just wants to stay an Angel. He is from New Jersey like myself and we only want a simple life and to be happy doing something you love to do.
Trout I think is a player in decline whose body I don't think is going to allow him to play till 2030. I wonder is he still playing in 26-27? Is the contract fully guaranteed even if he retires early? I don't quite understand these contracts....I don't really feel sorry at all for Trout. I think he's had a fantastic career, and he chose to be loyal to the Angels. I think he thought they'd be better, but not every great player plays on great teams or for the best franchises. I believe he wants to win, but I also think he's content never having won a World Series. These guys aren't all the same. It doesn't mean they don't care as much, it's just I think some of them it's not as important to win championships, and they may see being loyal to the club as more respectful than jumping from team to team, such as Lebron James chasing championships. He's had an incredible career, made a ton of money, I think enjoys Southern California...just hasn't had the playoff success you'd hope for. I think his stocky, muscular build in a way is kind of probably causing more injuries the older he gets.
No if he retires I'm pretty sure they're off the hook. But if he keeps showing up or is too injured to play , like Strasburg, he gets paid still
@@kenw2225 I thought if they're too injured to play they'd have to retire and not get the money? I guess I didn't understand that situation with Strasburg.
Trout carries too much weight for a CF.
CF requires quite a bit of running and constant movement.
At 6'2, if he played at a lean/athletic 210ish instead of 240/250 he would be able to avoid aome of these injuries
Dude needs to move to DH or maybe firstbase.
Everybody in LA always gets hurt
Trout
Ohtani
Kawhi
Matt Stafford
PG13
The entire LA Chargers roster
Cooper Kupp
Clayton Kershaw
Aaron Donald
Anthony Davis
Lebron
They all hurt all the time
Anaheim*
"PG13"? is it even a person name?
@@al_zaizal Paul George they call him PG 13
entire clippers roster every single year
@@TheSolidSnakeOil*And Inglewood
I am a cardinals fan so i think you should have a poll that has the cardinals struggles over the last year and a half.
Lol zip it. Cards can have a few down years
Oh boo hoo. They won 11 World Series and 23 pennants.
Loved the Sidious on Plagueis audio on the intro.
Honestly Taking easy way out is staying with Angel, no aspiration no pressure and no criticism on him in playoff or have winning season. Just do what he does everyday. Which is fine, but saying its easy way out --just say you are also fine with the situation. Baseball is a team game afterall
This channel has gotten much better over the offseason. Keep it going! Opening bit was hilarious
This channel has quickly become one of my top favorites, great job on making such fun and entertaining videos that are also oddly educational.
if you like this channel, you're gonna love the channels he steals all his content from.
Dude sticking with his team...very cool. I've always been baffled by dudes that bounce around a lot. I don't know how they do it. I would feel so gross playing for a team, then leaving and playing against them. I don't think I'd be able to do it. I'd want to do this. One team, that's it.
"Wild thing to say, even for someone who doesn't know what they're talking about."
That one's going in the iTalk scrapbook.
I always think about "what ifs" like what if the angels after regressing in 2014 used Trout as trade bait like what happened to Soto, he went to winning teams with a more competitive culture and resigned somewhere like New York or with the Dodgers. Such a shame but i respect the hell our of him and his career regardless
I'm not even sure it's Loyalty. I think it's complacency. He enjoys his life down there. And that's fine all respect to him. But hopefully he doesn't lose sleep over it in the future when Ohtani has 4-5 rings and what he has, is money in the bank...
Mike Trout was once on Pace to become the Greatest Player to Ever Play the Game 😔 Feels like after 2019 he really hasn't been the same
Still has played great just his 30s killed him still a generational player
No he was not. Not even close.
@@foreverdnc123 he was
iTalk Studios that intro was sick af bro!
2016 Trout didn't deserve the MVP over Mookie.............my hot take, and you also almost had me on that Raid Shadow Legends ad read lol. And no one should take anything Stephen A says seriously, or anyone on ESPN for that matter.
Your dodgers fan take*
@@Chinchuchwei_sr I'm a Red Sox fan actually, but nice try lol. You could just look at the numbers
@@graham5990 I dont know what numbers you're looking at but Trout was better.
@@Maskkd Mookie had 1 less run, 41 more hits, more doubles, same triples, more HR, more RBI, better average, won the gold glove as the best RF in the game, led his team to 93 wins and a first place finish.
Trout destroyed him in walks, OBP, and OPS, didn't win a gold glove and led his team to 4th place with 74 wins. Trout had a great year no doubt but Mookie was better and did more for his team IMO.
@@graham5990 you can’t factor what someone does for their team with baseball lol trout could have put up a 250 OPS+ and the Angels still would have missed playoffs. That ain’t Trout’s fault
He was the chaosen one
says who? he was never bringing greatness to the angels. if he was smart he would have been a dodger if he likes la so much.
No the chosen one is Joey wendle
He was supposed to improve the Angels, not worsen them
Not really
Love this vid. I love them all. Couldn’t agree more with any of your takes
Trout will retire early without a ring 💍 🚫🔥
Due to his body breaking down
Forget without a ring.... without a single playoff win.
@@jamesgoss1860You people just don’t understand this man.And yes he does have a Ring!.. and a beautiful wife and great kids and when he does retire, he’s gonna enjoy life.Mr Trout thank for some great memorys
Only time I hear SAS talk about Baseball is when he slanders an MLB star. I've never heard a good word out of his mouth
He’s proven his loyalty, and they’ve squandered it. he doesn’t need to stick around a trash franchise that’s only gonna use him/keep him around for ticket sales, and do their best to never spend any money for an actual good team. They’ve been “hey look we got Mike trout” for 14 fucking years, and they don’t deserve him anymore. Somebody get this man a damn playoff win. I’d rather see him succeed with another team than lose for the rest of his career and get a handshake and a bunch of “respect” for letting a team waste his career
I think its less that Trout is loyal and more that Trout seems to think Anaheim could make the playoffs.
You earned my sub and like with that Sidious intro💯
@ 4:14. "Puljos last year with St.Louis was better than any year with the Angles"...How can I take anything you say seriously after that statement.
At age 42, with the Cardinals Puljos hit 24 HR w 68 Rbi. He had 4 seasons in Anehiem with more than 24 HR (40HR in 2015) He had 6 seasons with +90 Rbi with Angels.
The tragedy? He did accepted both extensions , he could be put of there long ago earning the same in other team
Mike Trout is great and he’s one of the few superstars who didn’t have a stable of haters. I hope he can get healthy but this game is a grind.
Rendon, Puljos and Hamilton all busts. Wow. Feel bad for Trout.
And SAS needs to shut his mouth. He knows nothing about baseball or loyalty
I always appreciate when a player is loyal in any sport. Even if he never wins he'll be a baseball legend not just for the league but for his team too. And fans will always love him for never giving up on them or the team
(I.e.) Tony Gwynn.
Good thing baseball still had that, unlike the NBA and NFL where players constantly demand trades.
That shadow legends psych-out was amazing. Lol
Why is everybody acting like baseball and basketball are the same. KD can, and has, requested a trade every time he his feelings hurt and the team has to oblige because contracts are so short that front offices are forced to trade him soon or risk losing him for nothing. Meanwhile, when was the last time something like that happened in MLB? Soto didn’t request a trade, that team blew up and they were gonna trade everyone anyway. The closest thing I can remember was Josh Donaldson leaving the athletics because he had beef with the front office, but even that was more Billy Bean trading him cause he hated him. Even if trout requests a trade rn, or even 2/3 years ago. All the angels have to do is say No…. and that’s it. They can wait till the last years of his contact before moving him and still pick up a huge haul of prospects, but that’s it. Trout would still be an angel for as long as they want and they love that, cause he sells tickets. I live in south Florida and only watch the marlins when the angels play. He’s my favorite player, so I root for the angels no matter what. And having a player like that that can generate buzz and fans to an atrocious franchise like the angels is probably worth a hell of a lot more money than that 450ms that they’re giving him.
Trout's agent screwed him. I don't believe that it was intentional. Getting Trout to sign a big, long term contract at such young point in history s career wasn't smart. That is, unless stability meant more than championships. I would have likely gone with stability too.
You need to put some respect on Pujols name, there was no need to disrespect him.
Trouts career is a disaster for the MLB. A generational talent like him needed to be in a major market. He just didnt reach enough casuals as he would have in Chicago or Boston
I wonder if he should swap to a less physically demanding position, like a corner outfielder, not necessarily giving up completely and moving to 1B or DH. Keeping him in the lineup has more value than his defense in CF.
Unless you're built like a deer or a gazelle, CF belongs to someone 30 or younger.
Ok I am an angles fan and have been my hole life but you have to face the reality that trout isn’t clutch the countless times I have seen him strike out in a situation where they need him is getting absurd keep in mind I have watched trout sense 2014 and haven’t seen them make playoffs.You can’t blame this all on him the team is terrible.SELL THE TEAM
I agree with you iTalk, unless he comes home to Philly. If he got traded to the Phillies and helped them win it all along side Bryce Harper? Dude that’d have all the feels.. btw best baseball channel on RUclips, this man’s the goat of making baseball news and stories so interesting ! God speed mate
I live in New Mexico and am a Trout fan. I pay a ton of dinero for the MLB app to watch Anaheim. But you lose Shohei, Trout, and Rendon, now injured and heading south with his skills, my fire to watch the Angels is flickering, meaning I've quit watching them ever since this buzz-kill. It comes down to a player(s) staying healthy.
respect his loyalty. he's a unicorn and his loyalty is good for whole of sports. but he tried and failed. the team failed him as well; at this point he is not bailing. I almost wish the team would choose to part with him, and I believe a team like the Yankees or dodgers will go after him. I would also love to see him DH or maybe even move to 1st base like Harper. He could potentially stay healthier and focus on ABs. I dont want him on the Yankees or Dodgers (Phillies fan) but I want to see him do something to get to October.
Give him to the dodgers
yea i really feel sorry for these people who make more than they could ever use in 100 life times.
good thing we're talking about a legacy and not money
Guy never got the credit, recognition, or publicity he deserved.
He is on the 2nd tier red-headed-step-child team of “Los Angeles.” Let’s be honest, it’s Anaheim, a suburb of Los Angeles.
He’s also far on the west coast, far away from the mega-media centers of Chicago, New York City, Boston, etc.
He always just faded in the media, out there on the west coast, with many late games, when most of the country is sleeping or getting ready to.
If the team was actually good, he would’ve at least gotten some prime-time coverage.
But he is stuck with terrible ownership and terrible management, so he gets buried.
What a damn shame.
Philly fans of course want him here, but .. Nola wears 27. What would his number be?? 😱 Kidding... Theres more issues then that. His old teammate, Brandon Marsh, was in center last few years, Rojas is there now and is improving his offensive abilities, and we already have a full DH. Regardless it would be nice!
Look at the way he lives? He lives in Orange County, California, which is a very very expensive place to live. Trust me. I know I used to live there. I don’t feel sorry for him because he could’ve gotten out and less than once somewhere else so it’s on him.
He would’ve hit his 400th HR & 1000th RBI this season. He’s a .300 hitter with a career war of 86. That’s higher than Griffey Jr. He doesn’t need any rings, he’ll be a first ballot HOF’r. Nothing sad about it.
Arte Moreno will never sell the team you hope he does but he he won’t.
The team was up for sale last year lol
wild thing to say even for someone who dosent know what he is talking about
that sentence made me laugh out loud
I was born in Anaheim. Worked at the stadium as a teenager.
When Arte Moreno bought the team he ran a World Series Champion right into the ground.
Then he insulted all the Orange County fans by naming it “Los Angeles” Angels.
He’s disgusting to me. Should just become a congressman if he wants to ruin things so badly.
SELL THE DAMN TEAM ARTE! YOU SUCK!
His injury is of the 2 to 4 week variety. Ron Artest (Metta World Peace) was back from the same surgery in 10 days playing playoff basketball.
Luckily a ws doesn't affect your hall of fame chance that much but it sucks that so many things are out of his control, injuries and bad front office
Trout is a great player and probably a future HOF inductee. But yeah he's probably stuck on the Angels. Even if he requested a trade, he's injury prone and has a monster contract. Can't see too many teams wanting his contract on their books.
Trout is looking like another Griffey or Pujols, 1st half of their careers are among the best ever, the 2nd half were kunda injury riddled disappointments. He needs to move to DH, hopefully that would cut down the toll on his body. He could easily become a Big Papi type for the second half of his career and maybe he can play another handful of years without constantly being on the IL.
I don’t wanna hear about him crying he chose to stay with the angels. He had plenty of opportunity to sign a huge contract with any other big market team so it’s not a tragedy at all. This is because he wanted it players know their ownership better than anyone they understand if the team is trying to build a team to win or trying to build a team to make money.
Great channel! Trout is a beast.
The Mike Trout situation with the Angels went from the main attraction to we wanted to save him, but we couldn’t
please do a video on the tragedy of Williams, Mays, and Banks
Eff the loyalty! Trout doesn't want to leave cause he's in cruise control it's harder to leave
I don’t understand why he stays. The team doesn’t spend money and loses constantly and because he plays in California, he’s not getting the most of his money because he gets taxed more. It’s like the Angels have something on him that keeps him there.
Needs to move into a dh/1st base role moving forward
He could pull that trick where he goes to a contender to give winning a WS his best shot and then after winning one (hopefully) re-sign with the Angels for 1 day and retire an Angel. I'm just saying.
Trout lacks the Mamba mentality
Steven A needs to sick with basketball. Anytime he starts talking about any other sport, especially baseball, it's clear he has no idea what he's talking about
Didn’t Mike Trout start in Pittsburgh? Did I fever dream that?
I think it's interesting that Mike Trout is actually underrated now and will definitely be seen as better and better over time as stats and WAR are more accepted and celebrated. Mike Trout was not "the best player in baseball for a 10 year stretch." A healthy Mike Trout was the best player to ever set foot on a baseball field.
A healthy Mike Trout that could have played 150 games every season from 2012-2023 would have 102 WAR playing league-average defense at one of the most important and difficult positions in the game and would have been 1 or 2 in the MVP race each year. For 12 years of baseball. He would still have 4 years to go until regression starts hitting around 35. All in the most competitive era of baseball ever where he's never facing anyone that can't hit 95 with nasty off-speed and breaking stuff that would have made Ted Williams spin in his shoes.
Oldheads and anti-WAR activists will try and make you think Trout doesn't deserve a spot on baseball's Mt. Rushmore. Some crazies might even try to keep him out of the Hall. I'm here to tell you he's not just one of the best. He's THE best. Not the Greatest. Not the most-better-than-the-average-player-of-his-era. Those are different conversations - and are probably both Babe Ruth. Mike Trout is simply the out-and-out BEST player to EVER play the game.
You're exaggerating Mike Trout very hard.
rip bro
When he recuperates, he is still young enough to be strictly a DH. He could put up tremendous numbers by the time he retires.
I mean, the tragedy is his loyalty. He could have signed huge contracts with great teams . It was his decision to stay with the angels
Kudos on the editing
hi talky walky studios
His picture is next to the definition of loyalty in the dictionary.
The Allstate commercial bit got me dying 😂
The sad part he's not a big name outside of the hardcore mlb fan even the casual MLB fan knows who aaron judge is.. don't know why that is.
Honestly you cant really blame the Angels they spent alot of money to get players but they never turn out good they bought ch wilson, albert pujols then traded for david fresse they also had mark trumbo, Howie Kendrick, Torii Hunter, pitching was always somewhat a problem especially when they took a big blow with the lose of Nick Adenhart then look at what they spent the past few season things just do not go the Angels way Mike Trout is not a tragedy he could of been traded long ago but wanted to stay he chose to be with the Angels through thick and thin and you have to at least respect that from him
4:20 Anthony Rendon became as injury prone as that Allstate commercial guy 💀
Ironically he signed his new contraxt when the angels were still somewhat competitive… they also refuse to trade him
GOATED INTRO!!!!
“Wild thing to say, even for someone who doesn’t know what he’s talking about” had me 🤣😂
Dodger fan, never seen him play on local tv. I never bothered to watch Ohtani there bcus Angels never made playoffs.
Im not sure how much of a tragedy Trout thinks his lack of playoffs is. Many fans think he should trade whatever positives he has now to chase a championship. Perhaps he sees it differently.
Ring chasing: Encouraged in Baseball, but frowned upon in the NBA
The angels had two "once in a generation players" and did nothing with them. Trout needs to take that into consideration.
Great video
For the past decade I have been seriously questioning what in the actual F this Moreno is doing and I’m just a casual MLB fan from Buffalo lol. I cannot believe how poor of an organization the Angels are….they make the Buffalo Sabres look world class. This is Dan Marino level of wasted career.
I wish they would trade him to his team that he grew up cheering for, the Phillies. He deserves at least that
Prime Rendon, Pages, Ohtani and Trout. What could’ve been
