Pujols & Ohtani news

[tdawg87]

Regardless of his performance on the field, Pujols definitely still cares about helping the team win. He's always been a class act and I would bet anything he himself expects to play first 162 times this year. He won't, but not for lack of trying. 

If we can get a .250/.300/.460 year out of him with 25 HR and 100 RBI's I'll be happy.

Most people will hate him if he doesn't hit .450/.600/.875 with at least 93 HR and 463 RBI....by the all star break.

I'd hate him if he hit, because it would mean that he broke baseball.

(And was much better than Trout)

Yeah, I hate people who are generous with their time, resources and money toward charities.  Really, what's the guy thinking anyway.

You can donate to charity and still be unlikable.

You know......how he was insulted when the cardinals only offered him $200m, or how he poses at home plate on a homerun, but gets into a pitchers face if he shows any emotional reaction after getting him out, or how he keeps eating nonstop to the point where he can no longer play the field, or how he donates all his time, resources and money to the cardinals organization rather than the angels organization.

Ya you're right, you gotta love the guy, pure class.

lol it was $218?  Wow after CA state taxes, the offer is probably almost the same...........unless ofcourse you donate to............charity............then you get most of it back.

But I'm sure that's not why he donates to charity, it's clearly out of the kindness in his heart.  That's why I like him so much.

[Stradling]

What a fucking joke, as usual

[Angel Oracle]

No reason to overuse Ohtani, not with having a lot of pitchers to pick from. 

[JarsOfClay]

lol ok ill stop.

Seriously it's spring, it's supposed to be a happy time, and I'm actually excited about this season and Ohtani.

Here's hoping for a good season!

It’s all good fun. Some people here still sleep with their Angels pajamas during the offseason and they get cranky until the first game.

[Stradling]

Yea, it is the guys that aren’t hating our players that are charitable that are the problem.  Like I said, some people are a joke on here with their opinions that our players are evil simply because they don’t like them.  Albert being charitable because of tax implications ignores the fact that he is a step father to a Down syndrome child and has been since he was broke.  

[Angelfan79]

Seems like people on here personally know Albert to hate him? Lol well hey if your drinking buds hate all you want since you know him better than us! Haters gonna hate regardless, Go Angels!!!!

It’s easy to hate.

[Revad]

Sometimes there’s no way to win, but Pujols has balls and I have high hopes for his contributions this year.  I’ll never question his effort.  It’s easy to judge others and “take their inventory,” and when I do that I wonder how much of the anger and diversion is really about my own life and actions.

Or Pujols was finally healthy enough to train like everyone else rather than rehab an injury, like he has the past two off-seasons. 

Working out is only about 30 percent of it. Being healthy eating right and not stuffing someone’s face with pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner goes along way to not being over weight

[Glen]

If he hits .250/.320 with an OPS north of .750 and 25+ HR I'll take it.

I’d really rather watch Ohtani’s 3.8 seconds timed speed to first base than watch Pujols’ half hearted effort on every infield ground ball he hits.

Honestly I can't help it, I just really hate the guy. Everything about him so unlikable.

However, if the angels are gonna make the playoffs they need a good healthy and mobile Pujols so I do hope that he makes a big comeback.  And Im glad that he's at least trying to improve.

You are right, all those charities he is involved in, what a douche.

You missed the part where he does it for the tax benefit.
