Seriously, why is Pujols still trying to play through the injuries?

[Tyler]

The meeting workked??? The meeting worked!!!!

[Brandon]

I'm not taking back my comments because he hit a go ahead HR.

[moccasin]

Just came here to laugh at this thread and all of you. Hilarious!

[Brandon]

But I gladly eat shit when I contribute and said player comes through.

[Section517]

Dude is gimpy around the bases.  Shut him down before he gets Garret Anderson-itis the rest of his career.

[fan_since79]

Still DL his ass

Who knows, he might have pulled his shoulder out of joint powering that baby out of the stadium!

 

That was ridiculous power right there.

[Brandon]

FFS.

Don't act like if he hit another pop up you wouldn't agree with what has gone on in this thread.

The dude has one foot and his worst numbers in the majors.

[YouthofToday]

Well, it is a good thing the Albert Pujols suited up tonight. He got all of that one.

Bat speed is still there. Excellent sign for 2014 after he has surgery to repair his foot.

[Halo4life714]

Credit to him for the HR, but I agree with most here. He needs to rest that foot. It can't be fun trying to hit a baseball with one foot only. We need to protect him from himself and DL him.

[Docwaukee]

Brendan Harris could have done that. 

[Brent Maguire]

That ball was absolutely covered. I was behind the Angels dugout and I've never been so sure of a ball leaving the yard.

[dimitrig]

When you still owe a guy a billion dollars you should protect his health. This is going to be a tough season with or without him. Get him ready for the next 7 years of his contract.

I don't know if you guys have read this article yet or not, it's a good read. I guess the trainers and Scioscia want to DL Pujols, but he keeps fighting them on it. 

[Brent Maguire]

The home run he hit was absolutely awesome and all but....

 

He should still hit the DL. 

[haloman]

He did drive in 3 of the 4 runs tonight and hit a moon shot that hasnt landed yet. I dont think PF can get worse, its just about dealing with the pain. That's why I believe Scioscia left it up to Albert. If he can deal with it, I say let him play.

[xboom28x]

awesome. with that HR Pujols just bought himself another month on the active roster.

 

just terrible

Great article...go on the ****ing DL!

[Glen]

I've never seen a game-winning moon-shot HR make so many people so unhappy.

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I get it.  I'm just gonna enjoy the win until the next game starts, and then go back to bitching.

[tomsred]

Generally all this thread proves is that there are a bunch of fans who have given up this season, but the team has not.  Then the fans who are giving up are critics of the team, and accuse them of giving up, LOL.

 

So exactly who are the losers here, think about it.

Actually it can get worse and it certainly won't get better if you continue to play on it.

The losers are the ones who play their investment who has 228 million dollars left on his contract and who don't bother finding out what the complications are to playing through PF.

[19HALO71]

I doubt that the LOSERS who are playing him through the PF haven't seeked the opinion of their medical staff to ensure that no other damage can occur. I know plenty of service members who have had PF and were told to only have surgery once they can no longer tolerate the pain. However, I do believe that if he were playing in the NL, he would already be on the DL. Fortunately for us the DH provides a little reprieve.
