Is that the first HR hit by a 4th place hitter after a walk to Pujols?

by Evilfrog on Jun 10, 2009 7:18 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Rasmus is quickly becoming

a badass

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

I'll stick of for Tony here.

I’ll say that Tony putting Rasmus in positions to succeed is one of the reasons rasmus has been able to come out of his early season slump to be the hitter he currently is. But putting him in favorable match ups it has Lead to success for him as well as getting him comfertable at the Major League level and protecting him from the media when he fails.

he does this at every level

did the managers coddle him at each promotion with favorable matchups? kids just talented regardless of la russa’s meddling.

I still don't get that

of course the first baseball teams I really remember are the early 80s cards, and for the most part, the starters were always starters. Are we sure this isn’t just something that has came along in the LaRussa years and people just tend to think that is always the way it has been?

I would be more than happy to revoke that statement if it was proven wrong.

ok well it mighta avoided a DP

but an out made on the bases there, by a guy who only has about a lifetime 60% steal success rate, is pretty terrible with no outs and one man on.

you take the DP away by running into an out at 2B

And before that his previous two no-hit games were also only one at-bat. You have to go all the way back to May 25, 14 games ago, to find a game where he started and didn’t get a hit. That’s some tasty cheese.

As a sociology major, Christian Family night...

The Cardinals have one African-American player, and he is on baby-leave. And we are right above the bible belt, so yeah.

City of St. Louis

is something like 65% black.

However, Cardinals tickets are both expensive (city is also poor, white and black), and baseball games seem to be a sea of white. sad.
