Off Pujols' glove

[InsideThePark]

What a bust he's been.

[CaliAngel]

He saved several balls in the dirt today thrown by our infield. 

 

He can't do it all the time. 

[mancini79]

Pujols didn't bean the guy either.

[full circle]

Still, Pujols has been shit, again.

[InsideThePark]

Didn't say that he was the sole reason why we lost, but I don't think you can argue with the fact that he's been a disappointment.

Guys... Pujols was dogshit for the entire month of April last season, but vintage Pujols from May on. Give him a break. It has been two games! 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Lol two games people....a whopping TWO games in very cold weather....

This. Also the ball Votto hit was smoked, most first basemen wouldn't have even got to the ball.

Yeah, at first I thought Pujols should have had it. In going back, that was a tough one for any gold glove 1B. 

[Docwaukee]

meh.  defense has been suspect this series.  the warm weather guys not looking so good in cold.

Oh right, 2012 never happened.

[Ohtaniland]

Has anyone else noticed that Pujols uses a high school sized 1st baseman's mitt.

[moccasin]

I'm more angry about the caught stealing in the 1st inning.

Messed up our batting order. Every rally seemed to come with 2 outs because of it.

[ukyah]

Oh right, 2012 never happened.

go look at what his numbers were after that horrific beginning.

[Earnest Borgnine of 9]

Another quality, constructive post. 

[Brandon]

He needs to hit the ball so sh*t like this doesn't come up.

 

Dude is off to a terrible start.

[Earnest Borgnine of 9]

Its been two games and Hamilton and Pujols have not bailed us out with offense, but I'm glad to see the walks.  Anyone else notice?

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

If he has another season like 2012, I'll be perfectly fine with it AS LONG AS he breaks out of the slump before April is over. From May on, he was pretty damn good. Its been two games this year in weather more suiting of hockey or football than an outdoor baseball game. He looked solid with the bat in spring and he's taking walks so far this year. Pujols will be fine. 

[m0nkey]

He needs to go on a vacation with Arod and braun down to miami

That's what was said ad naseum last season but that doesn't change the fact that he was the worst hitter in baseball for about a month and a half. His numbers as a whole wasn't what Arte had in mind when he gave him that monstrous contract.

Walks by your 3 & 4 hitters are priceless. Let's hope they keep it up.

So you are the supervisor at work who says your subordinates don't deserve a bonus because they have a dry spell for 20% of the year?  It doesn't matter that they out perform other staff during the remainder of the season?  They should absolutely be punished for their imperfection. LMAO. 

[Lhalo]

What other kind of job besides "professional athlete" is allowed to have a dry spell for 20% of the year?

I agree, I hope they continue to take walks.

 

Not making outs is a good thing.

Exactly.
