OPS vs LH starters:

Pujols - .769

Munchy - .793

 

seems as if Albert hits meaningless HRs off of shitty LH relievers.

Interesting. I'm sure the Dodgers will be using Pujols as a PH as well as a starter against Leftys.

I looked at their splits versus LHP's this year - Pujols/.878, Muncy/.681, Walsh/.661.

Hasnt even suited up and already the butt of jokes.  Thats no way to treat a first ballot HOFer.  I hope Pedro and Papi don't hear about this.

[Palomar]

I thought it was all about playing time for Albert. Won't he get LESS on an NL team, especially the Dodgers. Of course this is costing the Dodgers nothing.

That's not a fair comparison. Pujols is older than Roberts...

[greginpsca]

They finally found their replacement for Manny Mota. Isn't Pujols and Manny the same age?

always love this narrative with old players who can't play anymore but won't retire.

Maybe if the Angels didn’t suck ass they wouldn’t look so shitty in this situation.

True, but getting rid of Pujols is a nice start in them trying not to suck ass.

Subtle... but we'll done.

So this is Albert's way of sticking it to the Angels?

By taking his .198 average to the Dog Turds?

BWAWAHAHAHAHA!

I read this entire thread thinking the tweet that said this was a joke would appear.

Or we would get Rick rolled.

Mike Trout just sent Albert an email Good Luck Albert in playoffs can you leave me tickets at the gate or should I just stay home and watch on my big screen. Albert put in good word for me as I'll accept trade to Dodgers. I'd like to go to playoffs some year.

If the Dodgers make the playoffs, they are not gonna keep the slow ass, light hitting, Albert on their post-season roseter.

[Docwaukee]

this is just weird in so many ways

First the narrative was that no team would sign him.  Now the narrative is that he won’t help them or make it to the end of the season.  In preparation for the changing narrative I’m glad the “he won’t make the postseason roster” narrative is already being thrown about.  Good job.

No the narrative is Pujols sucks and, if anything, was hurting the Angels.  Everything else is just entertaining details.

This is so unbelievably comical to me. Dodger fans I know are looking forward to this. I shared with them to check back with me in a month.

Why would they sign him? Yes Dodgers are going to playoffs as they go every year.

[failos]

Why would Pujols be OK with a limited PH role on the Dodgers, but not be OK with a limited role on the Angels? Something is not right with this story.
