There's No Way Albert Pujols Is Done Making 2022 His Bitch
Loaded show coming out of an even more loaded weekend. Albert Pujols lands on 700 but will Aaron Judge hit 61 and 62? The world waits and watches as the Yankee outfielder tries to finish his historic season. Meanwhile there’s mounting drama in both Wild Card groups as the AL plays musical chairs and Milwaukee tries to spoil the Padres and Phillies. The last week+ of the season should be chaos and that’s before we preview Braves/Mets this weekend in a presumed monsoon. There’s a major injury, notable 2nd half accomplishments and a ton of headlines in and around the playoff picture.
And surprisingly yet unsurprisingly - Mike Trout is destroying the baseball in September. People forgot I think because (a) the Angels struggled again and (2) Shohei and (d) the injury news. Or whatever. I can't make sense of it. Just look at the numbers and he reminds you again, very easily, that there isn't a debate about the best player in baseball no matter how good Aaron Judge is this particular season. Which is kind of an ass thing for me to say right now but I think you guys are smart enough to understand where I'm coming from. It's still Mike Trout's league and we're lucky enough to watch him play.
Also he definitely signs for kids. That's not my argument but I know he signs for kids. I've seen him do it with my own eyes.
