Albert will be ok now

[kjoe]

That was terrible---all we needed was a fly ball deep enough to get the run home.
And there was the shattered bat last Sunday in the ninth in Chicago. Albert is about 3 of 16 with anyone on base the last 8 games. More often than not, he comes up with the bases empty. I have thought he needed to bat cleanup for a few days just to get out of the rut.

I think he has been pressing---trying to do too much.

Edmonds picking him up was big. I expect him to go on a tear the next ten days. Batting third, of course.

[cardinalgirl]

it's rude to put him on a time schedule.

[kjoe]

It does not matter much if he doesn't---he will later. I just have a feeling he will this week.

I would like to see Albert's average in the 7th, 8th and 9th innings with RISP. Not to bitch, but just to see if that's really a weakness like it has seemed in the last month or so.

[cardinalgirl]

he's the best.

funny how money didn't go to his head, right Grote?

[cardinalgirl]

and even the best have to keep going. He has the last piece that many don't have. He takes good to the next degree and I have no business telling him to try harder cause I never did.

Would the "close and late" stat work?

CG, throwing the hard stuff!

I think the best thing to do with Albert Pujols is leave him the hell alone and let him hit.

Albert is the likely MVP

Runs in innings 1-6 count the same as runs in innings 7-9

So

if they did, we'd have 9 closers.
