Bring eet mang!

Yes Albert would appreciate if they remove the 3rd baseman completely when he's up.

Be careful what you wish for.

 

6-4-3.

Learn how to bunt against it, Pooholes.

Dude posted a .790 ops last year.

Probably shouldn't be talking trash

[beatlesrule]

I am really getting tired about how delusional he is.

[Troll Daddy]

Pujols is kind of a douche ... cocky comments, Puig imitations, and bow & arrow mockery of crooked hat.

 

I love it

Mr GIDP champion, be careful what you ask for

[Jason]

Pujols with the intimidating reverse psychology. Nicely played

[tdawg87]

Dude used to go oppo like it was his fetish. Now he pulls more balls than cez.

Generally teams pitch according to defensive alignment.  For Albert they still pitch to the outside to him because they know he will still try to pull it and so he grounds out to the left side.  Trying to pull the ball on an outside pitch causes a hitter to hit the ball on the ground.  I wish Albert and a lot of other Angels hitters would go opposite field more often...especially with a runner on 3rd with less than 2 outs...easy way to get a sac fly.

I'm so tired of this guy talking crap like this is 2008. Dude, you're just not that good any more.

That doesn't fit in with our team concept.

[Second Base]

You guys are all so dumb. Pujols is going to absolutely CRUSH balls right back up the middle....

Right where the second baseman is playing because the shift works perfectly against him.
