Vintage Albert

[seenoevil]

Albert is on fiyah !

[Tyler]

Killing it right now.

[Amazing Larry]

Whoa! He's hitting moon shots right now.

[Chuck]

Did someone say "Vintage Pujols"???

[AngelsLakersFan]

Speaking of... Albert is looking great of late. I still hold out hope from time to time that he can give us a little St. Louis Albert. He's an all time great player, he should have more in the tank than he's shown. 

[Richard]

That man needs to retire.

The last 30 days Pujols has the most home runs of any 1st baseman. Second only to Harper for all players.

But... his contract.

Hopefully he can keep this up. I think splitting his time from DH/1B is helping a lot.

[ten ocho recon scout]

.....he looks like weekend at bernies right there

[Docwaukee]

That second hr was interesting because it was on the same pitch that Trout missed for strike 3.  

 

he's gone from killing us to carrying us.  

 

I don't remember 2012 too much, but this is a locked in as I remember.  His bat speed seems better than it's been in awhile.  

[Angel Oracle]

Even 2012 likely didn't ever see an 8 game stretch like this one.

His DH numbers were pretty impressive in 2014.

Now we just need to find a real 1B that can play half of the rest of the 2015 season there (no, not Ryan Howard).

Casey Kotchman is in triple a. I think with the Royals org

[Angel Oracle]

Intriguing idea re: Kotchman

Another positive about Albert so far this year: he has grounded into only three double plays. And that's with the shift on him.

[Adam]

He's absolutely raking. And, he's doing a good job of taking his singles to right field. I'm feeling pretty optimistic about his chances of maintaining this for a while. 

 

Would still like to see take a few more walks. If he keeps raking those could go up as well.

The team GIDP leader is Aybar, with 6. This time last year Pujols had already grounded into 10 double plays, and Kendrick had grounded into 8.

Has anyone seen Claude? I'd love to get his take on Pujols recent turnaround.

I'm actually optimistic for Pujols' at-bats now. Good times.

This is the best tasting crow I've ever had. I admit to being tough on Albert but this is the best I've seen him play in a couple of years. I've already stopped the hating and I think that Albert is showing the true leadership that we will need down the stretch. Albert playing well changes everything. Congrats to him and lets keep it rolling. Now everyone feed me some crow, I deserve a full menu.

Good man, Claude.

I thought the Rally monkey rigged up a trap to capture that stupid parrot long ago
