No matter how hard they try, the LA Angels can’t simply catch a break. Last night was a special one for the Angels’ star players Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, and Patrick Sandoval. The team hosted a special pre-game ceremony before they played against the Miami Marlins. However, little did the Angels know that a ceremony to honor their star players would turn into an absolute nightmare for them.
Yes, that’s precisely what happened when the Angels’ Twitter account posted about the trio’s ceremony. The team’s consistent subpar play yet again this season has the fans in anguish, making them forget about any achievement by any of the players.

However, it became an absolute nightmare as the team once again lost the game and brought their total no of losses almost equal to their total wins of the season.
How are the fans reacting to Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout’s special moment?
Last night was to commemorate the outstanding play shown by the three of them in the WBC. But so far, despite having the three of them together in one team, the Angels are playing one of their worst seasons. Hence, the fans are beyond angry with the entire team, wanting to either sell the team or trade as many players as possible.
Following are some of the fans’ reactions toward the trio getting honored:
