I'd say you talked yourself into the right decision... Johnson: 1-32, 0 HR, .031/.139/.031, .170 OPS Thome: 15-43, 7 HR, .349/.541/.907, 1.448 OPS You're telling me. I was thinking in terms of upside and im pretty glad that i did.
i liked flipping the bat 12 feet in the air. how does he not get drilled in the head for doing that? Because if you drill him in the head, then he'll hit the ball 600 feet his next time at bat, and do a jig all the way around the bases. With Pujols, you can't win. You have to admit, that was a pretty [expletive] thing to do. I would have beaned him right in the [expletive] for that move.
Also, don't forget about Pronk. .354/.483/.854/1.337 Here's Shelton, just for a laugh .471/.500/1.216/1.716 The only problem? 2bb/16k. He's hitting everything in sight, so eventually pitchers are just gonna stop. Hope he knows hot to not swing.
Pujols really is amazing. I dont even hate to say it anymore. I work with a bunch of Cardinal fans and we were watching the game yesterday. Did anyone not see HR number 3 coming? Everyone in the place called the walk-off, no one was surprised in the least. His swing is so beautiful.
I'm sure that discussion is deleted by now, I think threads only go back to June or July now. Either way, if it wasn't you, I'd love to know why I just substituted your name in there.
Huh? There was a thread last season about Rusch, and someone started talking about how he had become a "pitcher" and that when he came into the league he was throwing heat and striking people out all the time. I'm positive it was you.
im pretty sure that if barrett pinch hits for blanco, that no matter what the outcome, it was the right move, so in conclusion i think you are drunk sir.
He's only been great for one year. He's been good for several years. He never appeared very good to me. His numbers seemed pretty average for a firstbaseman not in his prime. Either way, i'll take 5/65.
