6/6 🧵
The Angels hope Trout's good to go Monday vs. the Braves. But the message to Seattle is clear: control your stuff or face the consequences.

5/6 🧵
Trout's been hit before and complained about high pitches throughout his career. At 34, he's still producing (.212/.435/.424, 2 HR through 10 games), but the Mariners' aggressive inside game is testing his patience.
4/6 🧵
This wasn't a one-off. Friday's series opener? Bryan Woo nearly decapitated Trout with his first pitch, then beaned his shoulder on the very next one. Trout clearly said something to Woo on the mound.
3/6 🧵
"If you can't control it up there, you shouldn't do it," Trout fumed postgame. He's fed up with Seattle's approach: fastballs up and in are their strategy to get him out, but when pitchers miss, it's dangerous.
1/6 🧵
Mike Trout got drilled by a 94 mph fastball Sunday and he's not holding back — the Angels star called out the Mariners for reckless high-and-tight pitching that forced him out of an 11-inning thriller.
2/6 🧵
Casey Legumina's eighth-inning heater nailed Trout's left hand, leaving it visibly swollen (X-ray negative). Trout ripped off his elbow guard in pain and had to exit the game — an eventual 8-7 Angels win.
