Thought that was kind of weird, honestly. Everybody knows at this point who Stephen A is: an entertainer. I've never watched First Take (other than clips like this), but I'd assume NFL, NBA, and maybe college football are their major coverage areas. He was goofing on Trout in particular and MLB in general, which I took as playing to his audience. And he's not totally wrong - Mike Trout has been injured what seems like a LOT for an outfielder.
Papelbon made it oddly personal there. I get not liking Stephen A; I certainly don't enjoy listening to him. Will be interesting to see if Stephan A responds to him.
Also, Stephen A ain't the one out here being a full-grown 43 year old man rocking frosted tips like it's 1999.
