"Eleven games into life as an Angel, Pujols has not hit a home run and the Angels have not put together so much as back-to-back wins.
That's not necessarily a problem yet, but the certain plan was to hit the twice-defending AL champion Rangers in the mouth before the nights turned warm. Instead, the Angels are rooting around for something like consistency and, this morning, sucking their breakfasts through straws."
The main Yahoo baseball had the blurb "Big-budget-flop" over a picture of Pujols looking downcast, perhaps after making an out. It also says: "In a region that runs on buzz, the Angels have been alarmingly ordinary. This isn't what owner Arte Moreno paid for" and "Brown: It's not just Pujols."
The table below shows the OPS that Pujols has had after 11 games in all of his season along with his full-season OPS. This is his 2nd worst start after 11 games. But last year was worse and he recovered to finish above .900. So he could still turn things around.
I bet it wouldn't even be close to the worst if you compared these first 11 games to his worst 11 game streaks at any point in his career.
ReplyDeleteGoing to the game tonight, watch him go deep in his first AB.
Right. And we know last year's first 11 games was worse than this year's and you still may be right that he has something worse than that. Hope you enjoy your game
ReplyDeleteWell that wasn't exactly what I was hoping for... 6-0, yikes! I didn't even realize Bartolo's consecutive strike streak was going on while it was happening.
ReplyDeleteIt is still just one game. Yes, great feat by Colon
