I have a good friend that’s a Dodgers fan and she makes comments like “I can’t believe the stupid Angels treated him like that and thankfully he’s on a good team now”. 

I respond to such comments with "He's back in the NL now. It's much easier there than the AL."

That's great.

Of course you’d like a passive aggressive response.

Not really passive aggressive, since it's calmly stating a truth.

Just now, cals said:

It makes me really happy when you’re correct once in a while.

Okay cals.

Pujols went 3 for 6 with 2 HR's yesterday.

He is slashing .271/.307/.514/.821 and has a 123 OPS+ with the Dodgers. 

Like 90% of those home runs that he's hit as a Dodger have been garbage time home runs. In all of his years with the Angels, I can only recall one home that he hit that was a walkoff. That was that one game against the Red Sox back in 2014 that lasted like 18 innings. At least he could have been a great performer in the clutch/high leverage situations, He was neither. Useless trash.

I saw him at the Big A hit a walkoff 2-run double against the Astros, in an April 2013 game. Had a great view from the 3rd base View level of Trout motoring at full speed from first base and barely scoring the winning run. Happy madness ensued. That's the only exciting thing I ever saw him do in person, but then again I haven't been to a lot of games during the past decade.

How many walk-off HRs has Trout hit? 

[Dtwncbad]

Well every game is “walk off” for Pujols, since he literally can’t run anymore.

No idea. BUT. I was behind the plate when he hit that slam of Sale..... that was rad

Was there for a Trumbo one against the yanks, too.

Walkoffs are great

You were a catcher BEFORE you were a cop?

Dude you are the man, not that you weren’t before.

Those Mathis vs. TORS threads were epic.

Albert has played well for Dodgers. I wonder if someone signs him next year so he can reach 700 HR.

[ukyah]

I.DONT'T.GIVE.A.FUCK.ABOUT.PUJOLS!

 

dude sucked as an angel in totality. stop talking about that 47 year old stathound.

[JustATroutFan]

His slash line with the Dodgers is inflated because he's hit a lot of garbage time home runs. The guy was great at hitting garbage time home runs as an Angel. He never won the Angels a World Series and will be remembered as just another bum who suited up for the Angels along with Hamilton, Matthews Jr., CJ Wilson, and many more. If the clown ever returns to Angel Stadium, I hope the fans boo the fool for ruining the team. F Pujols!

I wish him well,  a disaster with Angels. Blame Artie for signing as everyone in baseball knew it was a bad contract. Angels have not learned as signing Rendon looks bad.

And how many more games has Albert played compared to Trout? So yes Albert might have more. I would like to know how many Albert hit in the same amount of games as Trout.

Pujols has 4 HR with the Dodgers ahead, 3 HR while trailing, and 1 with a tied game.

With the Dodgers…

• Ahead: .288/.309/.519/.828
• Tied: .259/.310/.407/.718
• Behind: .278/.316/.556/.871

.913 OPS in high leverage situations, .750 in low leverage.

Maybe if these Albert haters had been more passionate in supporting him he would’ve played better.

Ummm, i was asking a legitimate question and received an answer. 

I hope you get your question answered, too.

I for one am still curious how the discussion really went with the angels.  He is thriving with the dodgers because they are employing him almost strictly has a platoon against lefties.  Playing every other day probably helps keep his hemorrhoids from flaring up too bad.
