Is anyone else tired of...

[Torridd]

...Beltre against us?

[fan_since79]

In his first ML at-bat in 1998 he hit an RBI double off of Chuck Finley. In his career he has more RBI against the Angels than any other team, 158.

By the way, his best months are August and September.

[Torridd]

Ugh.

[NJHalo]

Would be interesting to compare his stats to Napoli's stats when facing the Angels

[Angel Oracle]

It's ancient history, but yet another Weekend at Arte's mistake (not signing him)?    He is the anti-Wells (rock solid numbers at Angel Stadium).

I don't remember Napoli being that much of a pain in the neck.

No plate-alignment issues for Beltre.

Napoli wins that prize. In 73 games, .324/.426/.632

Beltre: .278/.331/.483

Beltre has a career .814 OPS against the Angels. Good, but not ridiculous. Though he does have his most career HR's and RBI's against them, which is not a surprise. 

As for Napoli, it's not even comparable. Against the Angels his slash line is: .324/.426/.632. He's basically Trout against this team.

 

[eligrba]

Yes.  But it is hard not to enjoy watching Beltre play....he always looks like he is having fun.

[fan_since79]

...and speaking of Beltre and comparing him to Pujols:

2012-2017

Beltre: .310/.364/.512, .877 OPS, 151 HR, 517 RBI, 75 GIDP

Pujols: .262/.318/.461, .779 OPS, 165 HR, 567 RBI, 124 GIDP

 

Albert's 162-game average of 110 RBI with the Angels is not too shabby.

[fan_since79]

One last stat. Beltre's 2017 OPS: .947

39 years old.

Enough said.

Ghost Pujols may be lucky to reach a .547 OPS by 2019.

TUE -- nuff said....

I remember when Beltre was a FA and a great many Angel fans didn't want to have anything to do with him.

I did... I was pissed we didn't sign him. Especially for the price he was signed for. 

Can you imagine if the Angels signed Beltre and Grienke instead of Pujols and Hamilton?

Pujols needs to take a hard grounder to the nut sack.

So, in 20 some odd years of playing against him someone somewhere in our organization has never said we should try it this way ________...... Even today with advanced stats and metrics?..... Stupid!

The truth is that SVEN thinks he knows and has a grasp of how it should happen outcome be DAMNED and he won't deviate from his beliefs..... In Beltre's and Napoli's instance for examples (he doesn't have a clue)!

What is the definition of Stupidity?.... Repeatedly doing the same thing one way while expecting a different outcome.

Yep..     Not sure why everyone always glosses over the reality that Beltre has been legally using testosterone while the rest of MLB has to age naturally.

He's been great -- no doubt.  But so were all the other guys that got called to testify before congress.

Because he smiles a lot.

Because he's got a singular nut......

[fan_since79]

I was mistaken. Beltre is only 38 years old.

[Torridd]

It looks like if we can shut him down we'll win.

If only to get him out of the lineup.

[GrittyVeterans]

Can't wait until he retires
