amazing pujols stat

[seattlecub]

i just looked at his reg. season final stats

 

49 hr

50 k

 

that's ridiculous

[Soriano12]

I heard a rumor he was pretty good.

[otis89]

And how many of those K's came against the Cubs?

[NorthsideAvenger]

And how many of those K's came against the Cubs?

 

Of the 50 k's Albert had this yr in the regular season, 13 of the came at the hands of the Cubs (with Houston in 2nd with 8). Overall, Albert Pujols #'s of .206/.286/.324/.610--the Cubs held Albert Pujols to Nefti Perez's type numbers, haha---against the Cubs, was by far his worse numbers against any team in baseball in 2006.

 

So if there was one bright spot, is that the Cubs held Pujols in check this yr.

How can the Cubs hold down the most elite hitter in baseball, yet be so

terrible in every other aspect.

 

Seriously. I simply don't understand. I really don't.

Focus?

They don't put as much effort when not facing him?

It always seems like we get killed by the backup catcher or the utility infielder, not the big bopper.

[Jon]

He still has a near-.900 OPS against the Cubs over the past three season.

Yah, but anything under a 3387524085240.0000 OPS would probably be considered keeping him in check. That guy is godly.

Guh.

 

That's just absurd.

[chuckywang]

He just missed joining an elite group of players with less K's than HR's.

 

Dimaggio did that five years in a row.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Loser can't even hit 50 homeruns. LOLOLOLOLOL OMG!!!!1!

[rawaction]

And again, he won't win MVP because Ryan Howard is stronger.

[NewUserName]

Pujols should be MVP.

[Balsa]

Pujols should be MVP.

No arguement here.

That's DiMaggio-esque right there.

 

Don't believe me?

 

Career, Joe DiMaggio had 361 HR and 369 K's.

pujols, as of this point in his career, is better than dimaggio.

[Garwilly]

Vs Cubs he had 2 HR and 13 K

 

So vs everyone else, he had 47 HR and 37 K

My theory is that this is because the Cubs walk so many players. They simply give too many chances to weak hitters, who are bound to come through one time or another. Because the Cubs pitchers have such poor control, in relation to all other major league pitchers, they are forced to groove a lot of strikes. But they generally have good stuff. So, they challenge big boppers and can sometimes make them look silly. And when you walk a guy like that, you feel less bad than if you had give up a HR. Then you start walking guys, and end up having to groove pitches to backup catchers, and these guys are good enough to occasionally punish a grooved pitch.

Pujols won it last year having fewer HR and RBI than the 2nd place finisher, in the fact the gap in HR & RBI is similar.

 

 

This may be an interesting result between the the pretty stats of HR & RBI compared to the stats you don't see on the usual sports sites, such as VORP, Win Shares, OPS+ or RISP batting lines etc.
