Mike Trout tells Alex Rodriguez about pregame routine and how his dad influenced his game | ESPN 

Jimmy McManus I bet she’s a fucking 10 though

There’s no way he becomes a yankee :/ too loyal lol

His wife was a substitute teacher at my HS too (where trout graduated as well) really sweet girl

More like a 7 but still attractive

Lol right on the money! Trout IS loyal! He'll stay in SoCal. Blessed to see this guy play in person.

Juiced to the gills

@@atom-bomboriginal6387 still more successful, rich, and famous than your entire lineage and future lineage alike

@@joel1501ok and? Arod is still a cheater mccheatyface

Antonelli Baseball lol wassup matt

I love you matt

Hey matty

I played against u back in college...I remember this bc u lit my ass up. Lol Wake forest right?

What do you think about his swing straight down as mike explained here? That’s not what I see he does when I watch his swing in slow motion!!

Down bad

mmm

Cool

@@randykoenig752 lmaoo right to make that up gotta be down bad

Thanks for sharing that story. I thought I was the only one who hit rocks and I still do at 37. That’s the only time im like mike trout haha

drizzle I think his work ethic was genuine too. He used PEDs, but he also worked his ass off getting to where he got. Without PEDs he might not have gotten the 696 HR, but I think he still would have been a great player. As a former die-hard Yankee fan, I hated his arrogance, lies, attitude, awkwardness. But I appreciated his skills as a player - as a SS, 3rd baseman, as a hitter who made hits to win the game rather than just trying to go for the long ball at every at-bat

I think Mike holds a lot back in his interviews. Whether it be a calculated move or just his personality, that's what I take away from his insight. He's telling you the truth but he's vague

Then why roid up

Facts

@@randomname3715 ​ Not excusing it but he probably did it for the same reasons Bonds did, because they were naturally gifted and great players watching inferior players get notoriety and big contracts due to using performance enhancing drugs. Imagine how insulting it was to Bonds, possibly one if the best players ever, to be left OFF the All-Century Team, while Mark McGwire gets put on the team because of his home run numbers which were artificially inflated? A-Rod was foolish because he was already thought of as an absolute star, he hit .358 as a 20 year old kid, so maybe he just wanted to live up to expectations and was insecure about whether or not he could. But even so, in my opinion, it was probably just a "this guy isn't much better than me and he's cheating, imagine if I did what he is doing."

Cubbies34 everyone knows who ARod is

I probably couldn't find Anaheim on a map. And I live in California. Trout needs to go to a better team.

MrJre4491 shouldn't even be a professional sport

MrJre4491 chill better than bball

WhAt Do YoU mEaN

Haha!

Jesus Saves Love God

So are you.

Mike Tamburello I agree, trout 😴

Was watching the vid normally, then I saw this and I can’t stop dying lmao

Mm Hmm.

@@P_Soli Mm Hmm

And Mike...every second word....you know you know you know

Trout is a losing player

Lies

akiva hoffman this isn't basketball where one player can carry a team. Idk how you can hate on a player like trout

"Trout is a losing player" There has literally never been a more wrong statement about baseball than this. This is the wrongest you could be.

as great as a player, hes awesome on T.V.

ygoeb13 Both of them have no idea how they actually swing in a game! They both talk about swinging down?

Boyd Minton buddy, mike trout is the best player right now and possibly ever. I think he knows what he’s talking about

Moneybagbandz Yankees fans still love both thanks jeter for stanton

Of course they do, but Jeter is a colossal asshole

Moneybagbandz i like jeter as a person and a player Because he had the attitude of a professional but i dont like him as an owner. I dont like arod because i hate steroid users in baseball but I respect and value his knowledge of the game. Thats the only thing i value of arod

Did not know we were supposed to hate Jeter now. I did not get the memo. Thx.

Nobody likes ARod still...

Mike M so you can not not watch him beat your A's. I think can't was all you needed

Mike M crushes the Mariners too, he has like 13 homeruns off Felix

Corey Cates no I think that's what he meant. I used to hate trout in his first couple years. But I watched every at bat when he faced Oakland...

nope, he's saying he can't help but watch Trout, since he's so good. He *has* to watch a talent like that, even though he would rather not see his team lose.

Mike M in, but

trout is a legend. a rod is a cheater

The tightest shirt physically possible

Mike steroid trout

A-roid ain't a goat kiddo

Brennan Perkins, lol I agree

Socially awkward is more like it. Humility is something else.

Daniel Hicks dude he’s talking to A rod id stutter too wtf 😂 he’s extremely humble

Very likeable and relatable guy.

Cuz he is lol

This is foul💀

That’s a fact tho 😂😂😂😂😂

That's wrong! Even If he did wear his clothes its a statement! Those clothes are like kings attire, like the conqueror on the queen jlo, and to humiliate Marc he is wearing his clothes! That's the ultimate predator trophy! Not only he took jlo but he left Marc homeless and shoeless and clothesless! That's a man right there! You guys read history?

Why’d you have to drag him like that

I'd say they just got stuck in the dryer. Marc Anthony's clothes would only fit Marc Anthony or Chucky

Nobody forgot. A-Rod might be the second-best player among all players who debuted after 1990. Trout's better.

Steroids

Arods stats roids or not are ridiculous. Trouts got a ways to go

DaggerMan11 🤣🤣yup

DaggerMan11 Is that a given? Let Trout play a few more years. You might be very young if you're saying that or you forgot late 90's early to mid 2000's A Rod.

Hahaha, I didn’t notice that at first... probably would have tried to shake too

Not me...don't shake hands with my lefthand? Make sense??

YeaGG Nope. I’m 45 thank you very much

YeaGG Im not 40 :(

@MANCHESTER UNITED I thought you guys called it football?

YeaGG Nope...I’m 39

I’m 3

If the biggest star markets himself the sport would pull in higher ratings. He's the biggest star, he should do it, its his choice not to but he should. Now they're using Tatis.

Most overrated maybe

@@thomasdietz-wpm1c793 Ichanged my mind. This is how it is. I’m teaching my son to hit he’s 8. Had kidsswing kinda going. Dude who has owned some cages (42 years) in creve coure mo where Vince Coleman and willie McGee would hit at before home games changes my sons swing to exactly this. Mike trout willie and Vince

@Hippermenn we are all going to ignore the over rated comment and pretend it was a typo because everyone who knows anything about baseball knows Mike Trout is one of the greatest baseball players to ever play the game. One of a very small handful of players since the game was invented. Micheal Jordan was not overrated either fyi. That is the kind of sacrilegious insanity you are speaking. It was a typo we can call it that.

Tim Drake i would definitely be sad if trout leaves but if we can make the playoffs/ build a team around him at that point I would want him to leave and go get a ring with a team like the Phillies

he’s coming to philly when he does leave

JaQuan Lewis If he leaves, BIG if

I know you're an angels fan but it would be great for the league if he went elsewhere.

I would say it will all depend on how the team plays. Ohtani came to the Angels in my opinion because of Trout. In professional sports talent attracts talent. If they can make some noise offensively in the postseason Trout aint goin nowhere. I think right now LA is doing well in the market for having some of the best players in professional sports. To loose Trout would be devastating.

LongSnappersLivesMatter wow you’re a dumbass. Lebron is on Espn because he gets good ratings for them. The nba doesn’t have to promote Lebron because the nba has generated a much larger audience over the years and has taken over social media. The mlb does have to promote him and their league. They’re soon to be the 4th most popular sport if they don’t figure it out. Football basketball and now even hockey is ahead of them and in a few years soccer will pass them up

Martin Fernandez actually by virtually every measurable the nba is not far from the mlb and the mlb is significantly down across the board. Mlb has been struggling for years to keep viewers around. And by the way I love your extremely ignorant view of nba audiences. The nba audience isn’t a bunch of gangsters and millennials like you seem to want it to be. Mlb is struggling mightily right now. Their attendance is the lowest it’s been in 15 years and is down over 6% compared to last year meanwhile the nba has consistently kept attendance where it’s been. It’s clear you want this to so badly be a millennials ruining our past time argument but it’s simple the nba on literally every platform dominates the rest of the sporting world. There main instagram account has more followers than every mlb team combined. And no again you were wrong on trump the polls were off because there was a clear bias in the way they took those polls. At the time it was considered bad to say you were voting for trump which lead to many people declining to do so for polls. When that bias was factored in the polls had it right that he would win. Baseball in no way dominates the nba just forget that dumbass shit. The nba has closed the gap on baseball, is the healthiest sport in the country, and has actually built an audience that will be alive in more than 15 years unlike the mlb. In fact baseball is about half as popular for people between the age of 18-54 and this supposed liberal millennial sport has more support from conservatives and moderates compared to baseball. So in conclusion baseball has been passed in popularity by the nba, the nba controls the 18-54 demo, it has just as much influence with conservative and moderates, has the same following of men, has 50% more backing from females, and just to really show you were baseball is it’s behind soccer by a significant margin in the 18-54 demographic as well. So I think it’s time you take a second look at your take on the nba

LongSnappersLivesMatter do a little research you’ll find baseball has half the following the nba and soccer do with 18-54 yr olds. There’s not really numbers on hockey that look at it heads up.

You could hear the testosterone from across the screen! 👍🏿

He's really greasy and a lot of players don't like him.

One legend one cheater

clutchcity25 This is the first time I have seen A Rod have to look at his notes in an interview. I think A Rod was a little nervous too. He is a student of the game so there is no way he didn't realize how special it was to get to talk baseball with Trout on ESPN. I loved this so much.

He’s not starstruck he’s just hates being on camera. He always sounds like that on camera

Trout is a good ball player, but hes a terrible interview. He honestly doesn't like the spotlight

rickflo honestly it makes him more endearing. The fact he’s so low key is part of the reason literally everyone loves him

Lol

One cheater and one GOAT

nobody thinks of Arod without PED's . ... he screwed himself.

I only see one. Trout

G.O.A.T's????? Man whats wrong with u f'n people????? They r non-natural players. PED's is their reason 4 performing. Performance enhanced drugs. They both got BUSTED!!!! But of course baseball like most of everything in America awards them instead of penalizing them . America was built on lie's n baseball is just one of its fruit from the poison tree.

dom granata not really lol

Steven Perez dude literally ran a steroid ring and admitted to cheating including selling out his own team. He’s arguably the biggest black eye in baseball history

2299mikey yep

The only way a rod makes it to the hall is with paid admission

But are u sure?

Really.... SMH

It's unfair how good he is.

Das ah cow bruh

Lakers steroids
