Maybe he'll be a HOFer...or a flop...
Either way, I was there to see his first ever MLB triple. =)

(It was a season ticket, too. Still in mint condition!)

So he only is a dh and a pitcher?

At some point he has to play outfield(or first). Pujols is being pushed into the field every time he DHs. Obviously his defense is down but the bigger problem is the fatigue affecting his hitting at some point.

Pujols games by position:

2017
1B-6
DH-143

2018
1B-6
DH-6

So the (same) manager knew an age 37 Pujols needed to be rested, but an age 38 Pujols has already matched his 1B total of last year. :confused:

Issue with Pujols last year (and really the last few) has been the plantar fasciitis. That is seems to be better than it has been in years and he dropped about 20 pounds this offseason. I don't think fatigue will be the issue. If the feet stay healthy he'll hit.

Price and the Red Sox vs. Ohtani and the Angels, must watch baseball in April.

Forgive me if this has been touched on already, but if Ohtani finishes the season as an above average hitter and pitcher, he could potentially win MVP without winning Cy Young or any hitting awards. That'd have to be the first time ever.

Ohtani was removed from tonight's game after developing a blister on his pitching hand during the second inning.
