I need to admit that I was wrong.  I stated that Scioscia wouldn't bat him any lower than 4th.  I am 100% happy I was wrong.  Now let's just hope this is more than a 1 time thing.  Odd part about all of this is that Pujols is producing with RISP which is something most of our other guys can't do.

He always has. I don’t know how I feel about Albert. I hate how slow he is. I hate how he won’t take a walk on most cases but man is he clutch on most cases.

Second best power hitter, Simmons is the most consistent hitter next to Trout and very close to him but without Trout's power.

Ya I mean it’s debatable.  Depends on what you value.  Simmons has been very good as well.  Definitley more consistent.

That Scioscia! Such a risk taker moving Pujols down 1 whole spot.

I completely agree, stupid Sosh moving him out of the clean up spot.

Moving Albert down one spot. That ought to fix everything

I truly wonder what Albert is thinking.  

Hopefully it's something along the lines of -- I bet Tahiti is a nice place to be around this time of year -- maybe, Ill go there next year....

[UndertheHalo]

I bet Pujols is so angry at Scioscia for batting him 5th that he made that out on purpose.

YAY!

LOL! Go Halos.

[eligrba4ever]

Sho-Time vs. Cheetah? Who wins the sprint?

[Slegnaac]

Hit 'em where they ain't 

[eligrba4ever]

Well, that lead lasted for one batter.

[eligrba4ever]

How long will the Angels take to catch up?

[UndertheHalo]

Pretty solid location there Garrett.

[fan_since79]

Someone needs to tell Garret that BP ended a few hours ago.

[failos]

Who is that guy on the mound? I don’t recognize him anymore

[Vlad27Trout27]

Richards need to start using his curve ball more to both lefties and right, to be more effective

that's probably because all of our pitchers look alike. 

[Glen]

I can't wait for Richards to go to another team and realize his full potential.

[fan_since79]

Calhoun's OBP is .222

That's not easy to do.

He's 30. It's only downhill from here.
