This is one reason Pujols was so wildly consistent for so many years. He never took a night off mentally. He was always dialed in. It’s also a reason he was actually a solid baserunner despite his lack of speed.

I played baseball from age 4 until the end of high school. Many times, I played year round. I never once kicked a first basemen when trying to beat out a throw to first.

[Cthames]

This is a perfect example of how hustle and meticulous attention beats talent that is not applied to it’s fullest potential.

Nice to hear old Vinny again 💕Boy I sure did love Puig when he first burst onto the scene. Shame how he never got serious enough about the game and the opportunities he was given. I hear he's set to play in Korea again for the 2025 season

Why Albert is going to the Hall and why Puig went nowhere. Plus, boy I miss Vin.

If I remember correctly, the following night during pregame warmups, Pujols was talking to Puig about the play. A teaching moment from a first ballot HOFer.

Albert is the only baseball player in which it physically hurt me to watch him run him run.

The Dodgers may have been Vin Scully's team, but he was never a homer. If he saw a great play be someone on the other team he would never downplay it, and he would be the first to call out the Dodgers' mistakes. He was about as unbiased in his coverage as it is possible to be.

0:52 “Ohhhh yes, uh-HUH.” 😭 Vin Scully is amazing.

Puig recently hot dogged a ball he thought was gone out of the box and got thrown out at 2B…..10yrs later. It never gets old watching Puig embarrass himself.

[vivalavivarium]

Pujols was just a smart ball player. It’s why he was such good friends with yadi and that they formed thatlihjts out pick off from behind the batter to first play. Neither were fast but both could be deadly the second you stop paying attention. Always a few steps ahead… mentally.

[Cornwall]

Going to add that kick to Pujols' leg as another example for why we should just have the safety bag at 1st Base. It has no downside.

Puig and Céspedes were two dudes I thought were gonna be absolute studs, two guys that never really matured

[LinnellBinn]

I remember watching sportcenter and i always thought puig was the best player man i miss them times, 😂

[shadowaccount]

Puig's a punk. If he would have seriously hurt Puljos on that dirty run through Im sure he wouldn'tve had any remorse. Kicking someones foot like that is beyond petty after being showed up. We all know it was on purpose.

[chrislane]

I often think of Pujols and his swing. I wonder how many HRs he would have hit if his swing would've have produced a little higher launch angle...

Imagine Pujols with a swing more like Jim Thome. I just wonder if his HR numbers would have increased.

[wraynephew]

There is a reason why Yasiel Puig is not in the game anymore. And he is not that old

[Blt-rrlm]

Ok, that should be a five hundred thousand dollar fine. The money would go to each fan as they leave the game.

[bennylevine]

You would have gotten long odds at the time that Albert would outlast Puig in the bigs by a good 3-4 years.

[SO-ifyn]

I watched this game live, and it was embarrassing. Zach Grienke threw his luggage off the team bus while moving because of his crappy attitude.
