    Best Way To Deal With Pujols..........

    Can someone do us all a favor and everytime we play the Cards pull a Lewis Scott on him and get him drunk and messed up and kidnap him for 3 or 4 days... Celtic Pride style, this really would be the only way to keep him from killing us. As much as I hate him, you can't throw strikes to the guy, he just kills them, especially when it's a red throwing them

    Never understood why he hurts us so bad.

    Perception is skewed a bit though I think.

    "Bagwell is a Reds Killer," "Pujols is a Reds Killer," etc etc etc


    I think maybe Reds Pitching is the real "Reds Killer."

    It's a combination of three things:

    1. He is a great hitter.

    2. The Reds pitching sucks. Bad pitching and great hitting is not a good mix.

    3. The umps never call strikes on him. The only way to get a strike on Pujols is if he swings and misses or fouls off a pitch. He gets the special strikezone which is ridiculous, in my opinion.

    That 1st pitch was such an ovbious strike. You have to throw one right down the middle to get a strike called on him.

    God I hate that entire team.

    Usually Bronson doesn't need to be told that. Was he struggling to command his FB today? That's what usually gets him into trouble, along with maybe a few too many hangers.

    I would say he struggled with his control a bit today... he certainly didn't have his best stuff, yet he still went after every batter with his "I'm gonna challenge you no matter what" approach and Jerry Narron--INEXPLICABLY--didn't see fit to instruct him--or any other pitcher--to do otherwise.

    I agree 100% with that. You do not let 1 person beat you single handedly. The Reds did that today. I understand not walking him in the 9th with a runner on first I suppose, but what about the other 2 times he hit dingers.

    What to do with Pujols? Walk him and pitch to the rhino.

    Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!

    I thought walks kill?

    Pujols is every pitcher's nightmare. Not just the Reds.

    Think it was easy pitching to guys like Mays and Mantle?
