Here is a tweet that sums up the essence of the Angels better than I ever could.
every time I see an Angels highlight it's like "Mike Trout hit three homes runs and raised his average to .528 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Tigers defeated the Angels 8-3"

This is spot on, and you know it. And now, to make matters worse, Mike Trout is on the injured list for six to eight weeks. At least Shohei Ohtani is still doing fun things.

Mike Trout is out until July with a Grade 2 calf strain. Luckily the Angels have another MVP candidate in Shohei Ohtani, but that doesn’t really matter if the pitching staff can’t figure it out.

Mike Trout games played 2013-16: 157, 157, 159 and 159, respectively. Then it was 114, 140 and 134. And now he’s out around two months. And I’m sad.
