The word "mang" was used at least 9 times during that exchange.

According to Alden, it had to do with Cole shouting something at Calhoun and Pujols taking exception

"Angels right fielder Kole Calhoun worked a full count in the sixth inning Sunday and lined out to first base. As he retreated to the dugout, fiery Pirates right-handerGerrit Cole stared him down and shot a few words in his direction. Calhoun didn't hear it, butAlbert Pujols did. And when Cole reached base on a single in the bottom half of the frame, Pujols voiced his displeasure to the Pirates' ace, delivering what appeared to be a stern lecture"

[Stradling]

I love it.  If that's what happened I can't possibly see anyone on here taking exception to what Albert did.  

[Angel Oracle]

Mr. Cole needs to grow up.

Lotta coals in this thread

Remember when Cole and Gomez got into it a few years ago. Can't really fault Cole for either of them. He sat there and listened to Pujols and didn't say anything back. Showed some respect for the veteran and maybe knew Pujols was right. Actually liked it on both sides. And neither of them will say what was said. Which I also like

[Chuck]

Love it! 

Way to have your teammates back, Albert. 

Oh and THANK YOU for what proved to be the game winning 2-run HR today. 

[ScottT]

They should settle this like men and private message each other.

[Angel_Fan_4_Life]

Love it as well, but the Albert ankle roll at the end of the game is not good.   Thankful done with interleague play for a bit and Albert can go back to the DL, oops

I meant DH....

[Jobu]

Albert should have thrown a pitch at his head. That's the old school way to handle things. 

Talking? Pussification of America. 

[Docwaukee]

Angry Albert seems to be a much better player.  

[tdawg87]

Albert made roughly $32,800 for that conversation. He needs to start earning his paycheck before talking down to young, talented players who are actually earning their keep.

I like the way Pujols went about it.  He wasn't fighting Cole on this, he was letting him know that he didn't appreciate it and that he expected more than that.

Ghost Pujols haunted the SHIT out of Cole.

[Billy_Ball]

At least Albert (.238/12/39) isn't Mark Teixeira (.180/3/12) or Prince Fielder (.187/3/28.)  Not even close.

There has to be at least one guy like you.

Never yell at the guy that the Angels would gladly trade you for straight up.

[California Cajun]

I like it when the players police themselves without umpires, coaching staff, or commissioner's office.

I know you are joking and basically trolling this thread but He didn't yell and you and I both know he did the right thing.  You pretend he is a bad team mate, well this is another example of him being a good team mate.  Sorry Claude, I know this upsets you to the core as did his home run, but go ahead and give him props for not being what you think he is.

Cole said that Albert told him to take a look at his numbers
