MLB world is not being kind to any of the Angels players. That includes the three-time American League MVP, Mike Trout. The LA Angels last qualified for the playoffs eight years ago in 2014. Since then, every time they didn’t make it to the playoffs, the players got mocked. If they get clicked doing anything during the playoffs, baseball fans take their frustration out on the players.

The Angels, to this date, have won only one World Series Championship, and that too, exactly two decades ago. The fans are frustrated but winning a World Series, let alone entering the playoffs, is not a one-person job.
For the second time in a week, the ten-time all-star player became the target of roasts. The first time it happened, was when Trout went fishing with his son. It was a father-son bonding time, but somehow Prince Fish got mocked.
What made the fans mock Mike Trout?
Prince Fish Mike Trout went to watch an NFL game between the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Dallas Cowboys, at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles won the game by 26-17. This became one of the things that baseball fans pointed out to mock Trout.

The Los Angeles Angels finished third in the AL West this season. Out of the 162 games that the team played this season, they only managed to win 73. Yet this year’s AL MVP might be coming only from the Angels, i.e., the two-way star player, Shohei Ohtani. If a member of this team is in the race to become MVP, then it can be said that he’s doing his job as an individual.
But baseball is a team sport and not an individual. But that does not mean the rest of the players aren’t putting in the effort they should. And while frustration by fans is understood, mocking the players while they’re trying to live their life is not expected by the fans.
Fans can sometimes come heavy on the players
While some fans just laughed it off, one of the Twitter user said that the Eagles’ win was the first and only win Trout has seen in October.
Very original joke!

To be fair he's been in October before, but this is the first win he's ever seen 😉
