That was a disgusting at bat. At least we got one run out of it.

[Waybackman]

The only way our offense can score is a balk.

Uhhh, he sucks.  But you’re either dumb or you know exactly why he doesn’t retire. 

You know why.

If he didn’t used to be Albert Pujols, and say he started his career in 2012 with the Angels, could you imagine any universe in which he would have gotten the leash he’s gotten over the years? This franchise is just way too polite.

He definitely needs to be taken out behind the barn.  The Angels have to just bite the bullet and deal with this.

[UndertheHalo]

Honestly, like tonight would be fine.  He literallly adds no value.  Ichiro treatment time.  

 

 

 

It won’t be tonight

regrettably.

Of course! 

Shit like that in Contracts piss me off & clog the lineups.

[beatlesrule]

Pujols got moved to 5th.  It's slowly happening(I think). Will it be next year?  The year after?  Not sure but hopefully he hits 6th soon, then 7th and so on.  At this point, it's hard to imagine he is on the team until 2021 but I wouldn't be surprised if he is.  If you want to be really depressed, check out this players stats relative to his age.

I'm finally caught up to live. Fiancée actually watching the game with me for once, talk about bad timing. That 6th was not kind to a dude watching a game with someone not knowledgeable about baseball. Explained to my buddy in these two texts (he can't watch tonight):

"Single to left, runner on 2nd scores, runner from 1st caught between 2nd and 3rd, called out on a rundown by being out of basepath going back to 2nd. Kemp thinks he has to run back to 1st (he doesn't), Kinsler airmails the throw to Pujols, Ramirez smartly backs it up and guns it to 3rd base to get Bellinger out running to 3rd. Which means that Bellinger gets called out, for the 2nd time on the same play. And means that the Angels get one out when they should have gotten none, but then definitely should've gotten two. Got it? I'm not kidding."

"Had to explain how a fake out of a steal home resulted in a balk and an angel run, which of course meant I had to explain a balk. Which, well, f*ck."

[Stradling]

Is it me or is Ohtani ALWAYS behind in the count?  Also he is putrid against left handed pitching.

Could you imagine watching him attempt to play baseball for 2 more years.  Holy shit.

He will retire after next year.

Maybe, but the Angels really can’t let it drag on that long.  At least as an every day player.  This needs to be it.  Enough is enough.

I would rather try explaining a balk to a non baseball fan again. 

[UndertheHalo]

The Angels need to deal with Pujols at the end of this season.  Honestly they should put him on the bench right now.  They need to know what they have with Thaiss now. 

[UndertheHalo]

And honestly, I don’t think they have much with Thaiss.  But he’s what they have so they should see.  Decent chance he’s better then Pujols.  Which is why he should be playing.

Pujols can either pinch hit or be released. The Angels are absolutely a laughing stock organization for letting this keep happening.
