The Los Angeles Angels are without Mike Trout indefinitely due to a torn meniscus in his left knee. The star outfielder was near tears earlier this week while speaking to reporters about the injury, which will force him to miss a considerable amount of time.
While Trout was distraught about the news, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith seemed to make it all a big joke as he tore down the Angels outfielder for having to miss more time due to injury during Wednesday's episode of First Take.
“How the hell is he always hurt?," Smith yelled. "I don’t understand this. It drives me nuts when I see baseball players get hurt. What is it that you’re doing with yourself physically that you can’t stay healthy playing baseball? Now, you get hit by a pitch or something, that’s different, I get all of that. With these oblique injuries, you’re running around bases, catching one, then you’re running out for a fly ball, and all of a sudden, something gets tweaked. What the hell is going on?”
Here's Smith's full rant:
MLB fans were rightfully not impressed with Smith's insulting take on Trout's injury:
Hopefully Trout is able to return soon.
