Yep Eppler and I really f’d this up. We used poor judgement and we both need to apologize to the fans. Cron at age 28 has a much better upside than Albert moving forward.

i think you should also include marte's stats since albert isn't our only firstbaseman.

I found it humorous that people were actually saying that Ohtani could play first base and right field so Pujols could DH. Fun times.

‘Which means nothing because Albert was going nowhere.  Ohtani or Cron that was our choice and I think we probably made the right choice.

Who said that? I remember it being mentioned in November when the Angels first signed Ohtani, but then the idea was dropped quickly after.

I really have no idea what is going to happen to Albert’s playing time.  

I hope it gets a lot more with his kids.

There were quite a few people here that suggested that Ohtani could play first base. They also mentioned that he played outfield in Japan so he could play outfield here also.

I don’t get it

He’d be a good buy low candidate.

In the Astros-Yankees game 13 hits, 1 walk, 1 hit batter and 28 strikeouts. Snoozefest baseball

I know, and with the wind blowing out, too.  3HRs in the 1st inning and then both offenses were shut down. Joe needed to rest some guys and that messed with the lineup. Wasted a quality start from the professor.

Thanks for caring.

Twice this year?  How many times total?

[fan_since79]

Betts had been tied with Ted Williams who had three games of 3 home runs.

He's now tied with several players, including Albert Pujols who has had four career games with three home runs. Among others are Willie Stargell, Ralph Kiner, Barry Bonds, and Steve Finley of all people.

Next up with five games of 3 HR are A-Rod, McGuire, Dave Kingman, and Joe Carter.

The all-time record is six games, shared by Johnny Mize and Sammy Sosa.
