Trout is a very good hitter, but he turns into Baba Ruth against us. McHugh needs to end our losing streak tonight.
Of concern: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Luis Valbuena has a .450 OPS against lefties this year. Prior to 2015, his 3-year split was .618.

Pick your poison. Platoon with Marwin and that's adding more Villar ab's. Or, they could just speed up the Correa situation.
Would you feel better if I said "a great hitter turns into the greatest hitter against us"? Trout likely won't equal Mickey anyway. The Comet finished his career with more BB's than K's. Trout's current K total almost doubles his BB's.
