Disagree. These guys are human too.

Have you ever played the game? There's some guys you feel really comfortable facing, and some guys you never want to see. It's just the way it is

I think you would have to ask major league pitchers that question.

I doubt you have ever watched a baseball game.

They fear they might hurt his feelings when they strike him out.

[GuliblGuy]

Superman is a pretty imposing presence in the batters box...

I don't feel like we've discussed Albert Pujols' washed-upness enough on this board, thanks for the revolutionary topic.

When you don't fear someone you just groove fastballs. When you fear them you stay away and throw pitches with wrinkles.

Oh man, epic troll bro!1 xD

I would ask opposing pitchers this before a bunch of fans on a message board.

 

In all seriousness though, I'm sure pitchers still fear him. He's still likely to be a good hitter this year so it's not as if pitchers are going to just groove pitches to him all the time. 

[Docwaukee]

Don't kid yourself.  He's still on the radar.  He gets game planned by opposing teams. 

[mtangelsfan]

Honestly, I hope they don't.

[James]

There is no way any pitcher in the majors has made it that far in their profession while scared to face certain hitters. Sure, they know if some said hitter seems to have their number but I would bet that they aren't "scared" to pitch to them. If they are that said pitcher will not be in the majors for very long at all.

The only one who would wears #55 for us.

No.

[CaliAngel]

I think the only thing they fear is the strong breeze that might blow them right out of the stadium.

I fear the thought of OP making more threads like this

Maybe you should get a life then and not worry about internet forums so much?

Just a thought.

[Hollyw00d]

No.

well that settles it then

I'd almost rather Trout come up than Pujols.

 

He had pretty good numbers vs the A's last year.
