Chris Young is tired of Mike Trout being so darn good at baseball (Video)
Twice on Monday night, New York Yankees outfielder Chris Young thought he had an extra-base hit after a well-struck ball to deep centerfield. And twice on Monday night, Mike Trout was there to say, “Nope.”
On two very similar plays, Trout sprinted toward the wall, jumped and caught what might be a double in a centerfield manned by a lesser player. The first one came in the third inning, the next happened in the fourth. Both times, they could have brought home a run for the Yankees had they fallen. And since the Angels beat the Yankees 4-1, Trout’s catches were very important.

After the second one, Young was visibly upset and it produced this wonderful GIF.
After the game, he was more complimentary of the reigning AL MVP.
Because this is Mike Trout we’re talking about, he wasn’t done there. He also launched his 20th homer of the season in the time between those two catches, further proving himself crucial to the Angels’ win.
That GIF above? That’s how the rest of the league feels knowing that Mike Trout is out there playing baseball this darn good every night.
