The official Pujols Important HR thread

[Amazing Larry]

Dude has more streaks than my chones after a summer day in Bixby Knolls but it seems like he's healthy and that's huge for someone who helped Noah build his ark.

I know it's really raining in Texas tonight, but that's stretching an analogy, LOL.  He's actually trying to earn his keep, Hamilton on the other hand is a dead beat.

It's easy for me to make jokes at Pujols' expense but I do truly think he'll have a good year if he stays healthy. I know he's trending downward but sometimes he gets "locked in" and there's no stopping him.

I'll admit I am not an expert in this sort of thing, but Albert got another WAR point tonight, yes? Right?

he got 0.1 to get him to 0.  we have no other options.

Last June was fun. .303/.395/.737 with 13 HR.

It would be great to see that or something close again this year, even for only a month.

Pujols by the months. That 137 BABip in April shows he was pretty unlucky.
He's looked pretty good in May, seems to be hitting the ball to the other side more, and legged out a couple doubles. Interesting too that despite the vast difference in OPS, he still drove in quite a few runs and has managed the same total bases. His April stats could have been much better with some luck.

Props to Albert last night!

I can careless about his WAR. He's here to stay and he's batting behind Trout. He needs to stay healthy for the team to have any chance of making the playoffs. 

[Make Angels Great Again]

His last 27 games or so he has a near .900 OPS

[Angel Oracle]

On pace for close to 110 rbis, the run producing is huge.

[Glen]

Bump. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

BIG HIT. Who knows when the next time he'll see the lineup is after that last play though. :-\

[Angel Oracle]

BA is closer to .240.   Not bad given it was .132 going into April 24

Bumpy bump

[CaliAngel]

Thanks Pooie!

Hope his ankle is OK.

[Ohtaniland]

I was impressed with Albert's home run today. The timing was perfect. I was more impressed with his respectful non-bat flip. Great win that the team needed. Bravo Albert.

[CaliAngel]

But still, him staring at the ball like it's a no doubter is stupid and honestly pisses me off. That ball cleared the fence by like 3 feet.

Motherf**er needs to get on his horse when he puts some power into a ball in the air. His no doubters are doubters these days.

You are not a homer god you once were or at least appeared to be Pooie. Instead, GO with the ball, help your team out and hit singles and doubles in clutch situations.

And for f***s sake get your average above .250 it's embarrassing.

[Docwaukee]

his peripherals are the best they've been in 5 years.  I'd love to see him hit some double to the RCF gap but I think he's given up on that altogether.  One hot streak and he's solid overall.

Internet angry guy strikes again.  By the way he had two hits up the middle today.  He's also had 11 hits in the last 7 games he's started.  In his last 15 games he's hitting .291 and his last 30 games he's hitting .282.  Basically what I'm saying is go find something else to be angry about.

They come in bunches ......

Problem is theyd still be singles in the gap

[Angel Oracle]

Only 27 HRs and 10 doubles (600 of each) until hopeful retirement

[nate]

Bump per @Glen's request

[Stradling]

He only hits home runs when we are down 10+ games in the standings.
