Pujols is awful! - Merovius - 05-01-2012
Dude cant even get a hit off Liriano lol.
Blaming his hitting coach too.
Wtf is going on with him?

I think calling him awful is a bit overboard. Guy is in a megaslump though, they need to give him a couple games off so he can gather himself.

I know I feel bad for him, looks like Beltran was the steal of the year!
RE: Pujols is awful! - collector1974 - 05-01-2012
I think its funny! Just waiting for his card value numbers to fall like his offensive numbers has.
RE: Pujols is awful! - Vols-1 - 05-01-2012
I think he was more concerned with $$$ this year instead of baseball.

REALLY!!!
All its going to take is 1 homerun... Once he gets one out he'll put up his same MVP type numbers. He had a great spring, im not worried about this little slump. This is the media blowing this way out of proportion. If it was the middle of July different story the season just started he has well over 130 games and 500 plus at-bats to turn it around. Everyone needs to worry about the players around him and maybe look at the batting order and flip flop a few thing.
Krangry i agree with you give him a day or two to get his bearings.

I'm telling you right now he still finishes the season with 30+ homeruns and a avg. around .270-.280
It's funny how everyone is pissing on him but I can't find one owner in fantasy land who will trade him. lol

No doubt he will heat up, but I dont think they are paying him $240 million for .270-.280 average.

Not the first time we have seen a slump after a huge payday. Look at Crawford and Uggla for the first half of last year. Ugglas not Pujols for sure but he said in local media that the contract was in the back of his mind and he might of been trying to overplay to justify the contract and hurt himself while doing that. Pujols will be fine, and I think a lot of this game is mental and when he gets that 1st HR out the way he can catch fire.
