Albert Pujols is reportedly heading back to the St. Louis Cardinals on 1-year deal

[noleclone2]

The way he is ending the season, will he come back to try to break 700 if he does not get there, and maybe make run at the Babe for third place all time? He is only at 21 away from tying him. Sidebar it amazes me A Rod never stayed around to break 700.

I kinda doubt it especially if Yadi leaves - who apparently in a very recent interview stated this season is indeed his last.

The Selfish Me wants Albert to keep playing if he's effective. The Realist Me believes that eventually Father Time will make the (MLB skills) kill. When the bat speed goes, it'll be like a light switch.

I never saw this coming...even though when he went to the Dodgers last year he began crushing lefties like he is this year. I thought he'd bat lefty starters only, and with that it meant maybe 1 start out of 5 games on average, plus some PH'ing. Then he started slowly, and I sort of was expecting him to retire in-season.

Then this incredible run started...whodathunk it really. If he stays relatively hot though, he'll top 700 for sure yet this year. He's hitting lasers.

I just never wanted Yadi, Waino and AP to stay one season too long. Looks like Yadi definitely did - but not AP and Waino. I mean Yadi is still great at handling pitchers...but he's one of the worst MLB hitters there is this year...it's time to go.

And they were actually as young as they said they were. Pujols is older than Tom Brady.

Like seeing this one get bumped

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

More importantly went 3/4 with 3 RBIs and a run scored, starting against a righty. He's crushing both righties and lefties at 42 Years old. Amazing...

Pujols is a stud

 

[Ray Kinsella]

Been lucky enough to watch his previous couple of homers on mlb.tv when they happened. Just remarkable.

 

[ConvenientParking]

Oh wow that was clutch too. I didn't notice the score earlier

 

[bagdropper]

These last two off right handers is what is good to see.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

Not hitting them in garbage time either. Two game winners in the last two trips...

FIFY

He should sign a three year extension and go for record.

He cares about winning more than stats. He'll hit to right with 2 strikes instead of trying to pull a homer off the plate. He won't be back nor will Yadi. Waino may depending how the season ends...

Roughly 3 weeks to get 3 more home runs. I thought post season HRs counted toward your totals, read somewhere today they don’t.

 

[Ray Kinsella]

He hit 699 and 700 tonight at Dodger Stadium on Apple TV. Glad I got to see it. Lots of angry fans that don't have it that missed it.

I thought that was the case, but I saw enough complaints about it that I thought maybe something changed since the beginning of the season

Congrats on 700. I never thought he'd get there this year. It sucks it was on Apple TV on the West Coast so most people didn't/couldn't watch it. If he couldn't have done it at Busch, it's pretty cool he did it at Dodger stadium.

 

[Urohawk]

The question is would you keep the 700 ball, sell it to someone, or give it to Pujols?

I feel like I would just give it to him but the I looked up Bond's 700 ball sold for 804K

I'd hate to give AP that kind of tax bill

Not everything has to be about you, Alex.

I listened to part of the Dodgers / Cardinals game last night, and I wonder if he will stick around for another year? Nice to know that the guy who has given up the most homers to Pujols is Ryan Dempster, but not all of them were as a Cub. Weird that the most homers he's hit against one team is the Astros. I would have thought it was the Cubs or Brewers. I assume the crossover from the NL to the AL boy the Astros put them ahead of the NL Central teams.

Pujols went from NL Central to AL West just like Astros only a year or two before they did.

I’d sell it, but only to him, the Cardinals, or the HOF.

 

[jamesvanderwulf]

The Astros were in the NL Central through 2012, so Albert only missed one year where Houston was not in his division...

I'd give it to him for free. As a baseball fan, I wouldn't even consider it mine. A ball like that belongs to the guy who hit it.

700 is easier to remember ...

So older folks don’t know how apps work or know someone who does. My 69 year old dad who hates computers, doesn’t have a smart phone but has a smart tv and a fire stick. Did I have to set it up, yep but he uses it and does not have cable. Streams everything.
