Does Pujol have enough ABs left in this game
to get the cycle?
by Hardcore Legend on Jul 10, 2009 4:16 PM EDT reply actions
he'll get a double, but on the single
an outfielder will bobble it and he’ll take two bases

Albert Pujols doesn't need a mustache for good luck.
But sometimes mustaches wear Albert Pujols.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
I'm pretty glad Thompson isn't starting this game
Cubs might have gone super serious with the way the wind is blowing.
i love 10-run Sundays
and Christmas in July!

Ankiel has looked kind of patient today
still can’t hit anything Harden throws, but patient nonetheless.
and swings away 3-0
"He ran hard, but he didn't run fast. He runs like he's mad at the ground." - opposing broadcaster describing Yadi's speed.
Okay at this point
It’s really time to stop playing Ankiel. I’d rather see Thurston in LF, and that’s saying something.
I'd rather see Allen Craig or Brett Wallace

Remember when John Rodriguez was on deck with Eckstein up
and Pujols grabbed his bat and threw it down the steps, telling him he wouldn’t need it?
I wish that when Ankiel went up to bat, Pujols would throw his bat down the steps and tell him it’s pointless.

really?
i’ve always gotten the general impression that he’s highly overrated.
cardinals are the things with feathers that perch within the soul.
i'd say decent defense
highly overrated otherwise
"He ran hard, but he didn't run fast. He runs like he's mad at the ground." - opposing broadcaster describing Yadi's speed.
He's got an .827 OPS
And plays a strong defensive center field.
2.1 WAR so far this year, tops on the Cubs.
he plays center?
i’ve always seen him in right, but i don’t make a point of watching flubs baseball.
cardinals are the things with feathers that perch within the soul.
thanks!
he played in the all-star game last year as a rf, no?
cardinals are the things with feathers that perch within the soul.
Is it a rule that you have to have a bat in your hands in the batter's box
If not, Tony should call time, walk out there, and literally take the bat out of Ankiel’s hands when he has a 3-0 count. I’ll take my chances just seeing if the pitcher can throw three straight strikes
Dan's like

it’s that good? i might consider buying it then. mvp was really good and i haven’t enjoyed a baseball game very much since then. dangit ea, why’d you have to lose the rights?
cardinals are the things with feathers that perch within the soul.
i would say it is
i mean, there’s a nostalgia factor w/ MVP but the Show is very good. Hard to say what’s worth $50-60 to someone else, but i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for a week long rental to check it out. i certainly don’t regret buying it at all

Just looked at the tape. Why would anyone do that? Maybe if I was the only one and there was always an exit strategy, but not with all the other crazies around you and no way to veer off if you sense a problem. They said only one guy died but it looks like about five people got whacked by that one bull.
Just win

that one bull fell down at the beginning and got separated from the pack. Subsequently, he went postal and did a ton of damage. Good for him…

"He ran hard, but he didn't run fast. He runs like he's mad at the ground." - opposing broadcaster describing Yadi's speed.
This is a very unusual
situation with Carp. His pitch count says 7 or more. Tony is thinking, lets pray for 6. Could be the humidity playing havoc with his breaking stuff. I don’t want to see him in the 7th with one run.
on top of the pitch count he's had:
1 at bat to end an inning and he was also stranded on 1st where he was running with the pitch 5 times before Rasmus eventually ended the inning. Tiresome
THE SKIP IS LEGIT!!
He certainly is used
to humidity. Maybe the cooler temperature is an issue. He is over rotating the curve and is having trouble targeting that much break.

I like that broadcasters are showing OBP on the screen now
but it just makes me wish they would show SLG too. And then OPS! And wOBA! And on and on…
To the educated fan Colby’s OBP isn’t great, probably just below average. But a lot of people don’t know that.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
And that OBP goes up a little with a walk. You're welcome.
I accept internet dollars, Colby.
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
Cubs broadcasts show it
but I haven’t seen a lot of others that do (at least from lookins from MLB network). I assume Cards broadcast does?

Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
If I were Lou
I’d pitch Heilman until his arm literally fell off his body. Then I could justify never putting him in the game again. Ever.

had he not dropped the pop up does the run still score?

So that inning worked out pretty well.
Got a nice cushion, got to see some great defense, and now Carp’s spot comes up 1st next inning.
So he gets another inning, then we PH (Dunc?) for him and get him outta there with a nice lead.
I wish I could give the an honorary Thursty to the entire cubs team

OT and may have been discussed:
Has anyone read the SI article by Bill James and Joe Posnanski on Albert.
Its a great read and shows just how good pujols is…they basically annoint him as the most perfect player ever
"Albert hits good pitches hard and bad pitches even harder. And when he gets in the batter's box, if you pray, then you start praying. And if you don't pray, you think about starting."--Brian Bannister
yeah - it was sweet
"He ran hard, but he didn't run fast. He runs like he's mad at the ground." - opposing broadcaster describing Yadi's speed.
I was reading about that on FARK
Apparently, some people think that Pujols is on the juice. They sited that article to rebut their accusation.

yea. I get REALLY annoyed when people suggest that.
He has been a great player THE ENTIRE TIME HE’S PLAYED!
So either he is just really really really good, or he has doctors that are.
I am leaning with the first.

the other thing is that Albert started out fat instead of phat
When you start from a larger body frame, you’re going to get a larger body when you add in muscle and the kind of weight training Albert does. It’s not like he came in pencil-thin.
Albert’s got the kind of body that’ll develop quite a gut whenever he stops playing.
