Albert Pujols and the Home Run Record
He's at 19 now. He's the best player in the game, easily. Will he break the record for single season home runs?

I don't think so. Because Pujols is a more complete hitter than Bonds they might even start to pitch around him even more. He can hurt you with a double or triple and not just the long bomb. Look at Bonds' stats, how many RBIs did he get? Not too many because they only pitched to him with the bases empty. Seemed Bonds was either hitting a dinger or a single. Pujols can do so much more. I think they'll wise up and start the garbage of throwing pitches everywhere but across the plate.
But I do agree, it would be great for baseball. Pujols is a class act. I for one would like to see it, but doubt it would happen."A life lived in fear of the new and the untried is not a life lived to its fullest." M.Pare 10/09/08

they will start pitching around him... for some reason no one is scared of him but as he media starts to cover his more, and he gets even 1/2 way.. he is going to be pitched around like bonds

he's already been walked 33 times man, they're already trying to pitch around him. I think he's this generation's ted williams, only better!

Not to mention the fact that the Cards have a scary order to "pitch around" to. the biggest threat the Giants have been able to have is Alou or Kent batting after Bonds. The Cards have a whole line up of guys I wouldn't want to pitch to. I think it's possible.

If the Cards are close in the pennant/wild card chase in the last couple of months - no.
If they lock up a playoff spot early, or are way out of the picture after the all-star break - yes.When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

If they're free and clear, or out of the picture, opposing team's pitchers won't have to be as careful because it likely won't matter as much.
It's a game of situational tactics.When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

So wouldn't that mean if the teams they are playing are close.. then those teams might pitch around him? what does his team being in a race or not have to do with them pitching around him?

Pujols probably won't break the record this year. He is a great player but I don't see him maintaining the tear he is on. The most Home Runs he's ever hit in a season is 46.
What I would love to see is Pujols make a run at the Triple Crown, he is indeed the best player in the game, and if anyone can do it, he can.
