Scioscia is going to ride it out with Pujols

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  May 15, 2012
The Angels have tried very little to shake first baseman Albert Pujols out of his season-long slump, choosing instead to largely sit back in hope -- and amazement -- that he will somehow figure things out and return to the level of production he had for 11 seasons with the Cardinals. Manager Mike Scioscia did give Pujols a "mental day off" during the Angels' last...

White Sox-Angels Preview

Via AP on Fox  |  May 16, 2012
With one of his best showings at the plate this season, Albert Pujols took another step toward ending his early season struggles. The high-priced first baseman, though, will have to continue that work and try to rediscover his power with a new hitting coach when the Los Angeles Angels begin a two-game set against the visiting Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night. Pujols is 8 for...

Angels fire hitting coach Mickey Hatcher

Via AP on Fox  |  May 15, 2012
The Los Angeles Angels fired hitting coach Mickey Hatcher on Tuesday after Albert Pujols and many of his teammates got off to dismal offensive start this season. Hatcher's dismissal was announced about 90 minutes after the Angels had 12 hits in a 4-0 victory over Oakland. A day earlier, Los Angeles lost 5-0 to the Athletics - its major league-worst eighth shutout loss already...

Ann Lux Is Former Cowboys Cheerleader Turned MLB WAG

Via Busted Coverage  |  May 16, 2012
Will Middlebrooks has more HRs than Albert Pujols. Has the same amount of RBI (14) as Pujols. Has a better batting average. And has scored just one fewer run (9) than Pujols. Never heard of Middlebrooks? He’s the third baseman replacement while Kevin Youkilis is on the DL. This Middlebrooks character is also going to be marrying a former Cowboys cheerleader, Ann Lux, in December...

Screengrab Snafu: Something is your key to the game

Via Awful Announcing  |  May 16, 2012
This key to the game from the Athletics/Angels broadcast is as dynamic as LAA's offense has been this season.  With Albert Pujols currently on pace to fall into the Bobby Bonilla pantheon of terrible contracts after a month and a half, it may be a long season for the Halos.  Then again, The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim via Orange County and Sunny Southern California went...

Angels Shake Things Up…A Bit.

Via UmpBump.com  |  May 16, 2012
Was Mickey Hatcher encouraging Albert Pujols to spend 2012 doing the best Wilson Valdez impression he could? The Angels fired their long-standing hitting coach last night in an attempt to revive an offense that is on pace to set a record for futility in at least one category. It’s an understandable move in some ways; it won’t hurt to change things up even if Hatcher can hardly...

Preseason concerns about St. Louis Cardinals offense prove to be unfounded

Via i70baseball  |  May 13, 2012
Heading into the 2012 season, the St. Louis Cardinals had lost the best hitter in the game during the past decade. Albert Pujols left the comforts of St. Louis to chase big money, and many thought the Cardinals’ offensive production would leave with him. Instead, the opposite has been true. Going into play Saturday, the Cardinals were leading the National League in hits, homeruns...

Angels shaky, but they're not shaking

Via Fox Sports West  |  May 14, 2012
Perhaps you heard: El Hombre is El Stinko. A month and a half into his first year playing for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Albert Pujols might as well be Mario Mendoza. The 240 million man has so far hit only one home run as he nears 150 at-bats. He's batting below .200 and slugging below .300. Among the not-so-illustrious names with better 2012 power numbers than Pujols...
