Albert Hits Number 703 (10/3/22) - Moves into sole possession of 2nd place all-time in RBIs
-
I would be interested to see if he gets to say 698 or 699 on the final day of the year and some team says have your final day in the sun as they give him BP fastballs to swing at.
-
700 would be nice, but he already did the big thing and passed A Roid for number 4 all time. Unless he catches Ruth, 17 more lol, he will still be 4th. Gotta wonder where he would be if we had a full 2020 instead of 60 games, and/or he lived up to some of the Angels contract. He should be closing out his career on top the HR charts.
-
I think he gets it. If I’m playing against the Cardinals and my team is out of the race, I would definitely be leaving a few fastballs down the middle for him.
-
I say he hits, one this week and 2 in his final game to go out in epic fashion for 700.
-
He'd already be at 298 if it wasn't for Mike Tauchman of the Giants. He robbed a walk-off homer from Pujols.
-
Next week they’ll play the Dodgers. I hope we give him a few pitches to hit his 3 homeruns if he isn’t there yet.

I saw a video somewhere, I can' t remember where, that showed a collection of potential home runs by Pujols that were robbed over the years. It was enough that he would be over 700 easily.
And I have to believe that there are more because I don't think there is an easy way to go through a 20 year career and find them all.
-
If they have any more games against Pittsburgh, he will.
-
Most people want to see him get to 700. Hope he gets there.
-
Reds coming to town, good chance for at least one this weekend.
-
Number 698 tonight against the Reds. A two run homer to tie the game.
-
Nooooooooooo
-
I’m at the game right now. Nothing from Albert today unfortunately.

At least you saw a Win and a Yadi homer.

Yep, it was a good game. Hudson actually pitched really well for a change. The Yadi homer was pretty epic. The Reds didn't give Albert anything to swing at his first two at bats, both walks.

Is anyone else kinda getting sick of him?
I mean humility isnt bad, but he could be a little excited about it. -

I mean humility isnt bad, but he could be a little excited about it.Actually to an old school guy like me it's pretty refreshing, today's players will bat flip a homerun when they're down by 10 so I appreciate his "been there done that" attitude.
-
Pujols is a beast. Still has one of the better ESPN commercials from back in the day

Absolutely! And Albert is 100% real also. He doesn't just turn it on in front of the cameras.
