Pujols

[Glen]

Already getting tired of him hitting behind Trout. The good news is that eventually he has to get better.

[beatlesrule]

He does? Link? I'm sticking by my prediction that he doesn't reach 600 career home runs.

[wopphil]

He has looked terrible every at bat I have seen this year.

[Glen]

Yes. He's not gonna be a sub-.200 hitter.

[Jason]

He's like scotch sitting in the barrell just improving the older he gets. It's really exciting

[seenoevil]

I'm so sick of Pujols sucking at the start of seasons. Move his ass down the line up. I'm tired of him batting behind Trout

The Angel's share.

[JoJo26]

.105 average - simply terrible. Great spring - talk of "he's back...healthy" real games start- he blows.

[seenoevil]

His at bats are awful. He isn't even making good contact

[Stradling]

At least a struggling Pujols can run into one now and again. Who else in this line up should bat behind Trout? They all suck right now. So if you pick someone else who's struggling you might as well stick with a struggling Albert.

[bloodbrother]

He's not a machine

 

He's just...Albert

[Erstad Grit]

Yes. He's not gonna be a sub-.200 hitter.

 

Sub .100 ?!?!?!

Calhoun. Unfortunately, the angels don't have an OBP guy to replace him at leadoff right now.

 

Hopefully Iannetta or Joyce start hitting.

Are we talking about the same Calhoun that entered tonight's game hitting .125 with a .313 OPS?

If you've actually watched his at bats, he's looked solid.

This batting lineup nonsense is a large part of why I've wanted to see Scioscia fired since 2010.

[arch stanton]

Did someone go in and change the dates on an old thread?

[ABC]

Make sure you hug your Pujols pillow tight and remember to kiss his picture he autographed for you.

[ABC]

Please list all of your "predictions". We care.

Rate stats in game 5? C'mon.

[Docwaukee]

Calhoun has looked fine.  He's hit a bunch of line drives with very little to show for it.

thing is calhoun has struggled to open the season too

I dont like seeing any of these guys suck as much as you guys...but everyones bat is cold right now. I think everyone should wait a little bit before we panic, were literally 5 games into the year

[Jason]

Some guys are pressing a bit

[Redondo]

Strange how he looks so good in ST. Going the other way, HR's and having solid at bats.

 

Then the regular season starts and he looks totally different. Why?
