I’m not staying up for another 10:10 ET game. Good luck, Albert.

Re: Angels have released Albert Pujols (signs w Dodgers pg 16)
AP has always had one of the largest internal primadonna complexes even if he says differently. If he hits well, like a dinger and a double tonight, he'll then think he belongs in the everyday line-up again just like the Angels. It might have been better to start him on the bench immediately for this game, although it would make sense to give him a total fresh start in case his performance for the past five years has been emotionally depressed below where it should have been.

Some of that is probably why he's one of the greatest players in history though.AdmiralKird wrote: ↑May 17 21, 7:42 pmAP has always had one of the largest internal primadonna complexes even if he says differently.

I was told if he got a base hit he would have to be pinch run for.

He started the game at 1B. And I said that if he was a Cardinal. How would he start with Goldy on the roster outside of a game or two for Goldy rest? Some context: Dodgers have no Seager and had to put Lux at SS since backup Taylor was hurt too. Muncy at 2B.CardsofSTL wrote: ↑May 18 21, 7:30 amI was told if he got a base hit he would have to be pinch run for.
Desperation. Also lefty on hill. And he was subbed out.
Annnnnd he looked very slow on base paths and defense. A betting man says his WAR was negative in that game despite a hit.
