Reply To: Trout and Ohtani Never Making Playoffs

Trout came up for good in 2012. They had two good years with him.

2014, best record in majors, swept by KC in Wild Card round

2015, took the Astros to the last day of the season, then lost.

Ohtani joined the team in 2018. The Angels went all-in that year with what looked like good free agent signings and it all blew up by the trade deadline.

They went 80-82 in 2018. That’s the last time they even won 80. 78 wins will never get you to the playoffs, no matter who’s in your division.
