monkeypower Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Albert Pujols finally looks healthy.You know what else Albert Pujols is doing? Ripping the damn cover off the ball..299/.358/.639/.998, 15 extra base hits (6 doubles, 9 HRs). Compared to 2012 (.285/.343/.516/.859), this is an improvement. Compared to 2013 (.258/.330/.437/.767) it's fantastic.Small sample size? Pujols did not have a month last season where he came in the ballpark of a .998 OPS (.831 in July was his best and this was his final month of the season). He did rip the cover off the ball between June-August in 2012 but this was three excellent months surrounded by a dreadful April and pedestrian May (.800) and September (.777).Plantar fasciitis is a bitch, isn't it?Like what Still MIGHTY and Shumway said, I feel the Angels can actually do something this year, but the blowpen is acting up again.Lost some quality starts recently due to bullpen issues.

The_Admiral Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I don't think the Indians have any groundwork at all. They've tweaked and tweaked here and there to the point that there's no unifying concept anywhere. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Brandon. Freaking. HICKS. Giants are playing pretty good ball as of late. Nice to see the bats wake up a bit.

After hosting the Padres, the 10 game roadtrip will be a great test for the Giants(3 @ ATL, 3 @ PIT, and 4 @ LA).

The_Admiral Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Interesting that the White Sox can wander in and out of contention with no real long-term plan, while the Theo's vaunted PLAN only yields consistent losing. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The other part of THE PLAN that they didn't tell us about was that they were going to run the business side of the team with all the intuition and common sense expected of robots from another planet. I mean, the White Sox are notorious for treating their paying customers like so much dog crap on a shoe, but the tone-deafness and cluelessness of this regime is something to behold. You know what, one more Stanley Cup and forget it, just have John McDonough back now, because clearly you need him more than the Blackhawks do. And then they have the gall to blame all their incompetence on apartment owners and dudes in bear costumes. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The Braves are off to a nice start, but my baseball highlight for 2014 to date is that fake Cubs mascot giving that guy a furry fist to the face.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEANS Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Jose Abreu is just destroying the earth. White Sox got themselves quite the player in this dude. He needs to do two things:Learn english (he is) like Sammy Sosa right??? Change his awful number1. He will2. He won't, his mother picked that number for him, so he will not change it. https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportstar1212 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Plus, his number's unique, it can be his trademark.I also like unique numbers. In hockey, I used to wear #17 up until a few years ago when I switched to #53. I got that number in summer hockey one year and I decided to stick with it since it was unique.

wonderbread Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 what makes a number ugly? 79 shouldn't be and more ugly than 7 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 9 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 17 19 27 29 37 39 47 49 57 59 67 69 87 89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I don't like 79 because I feel like that's a spring training rookie number for a guy that's no doubt going to be sent down. It feels temporary.

Kramerica Industries Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I vaguely recall Ice Cap being a #79 person so if he stumbles over this conversation he's not gonna enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
