The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have been waiting for their slumping slugger Albert Pujols to break out for a while. 

Pujols only has 3 house runs and now there has been a website produced to shed some humor on the subject.

The website, Random dudes with a lot more house runs than Pujols,�is on the World wide web for all to examine out.

The website’s concept and style is easy. On the page is a large image of an MLB player, his house run total, and text underneath the picture asking, “What about this dude?” 

When a user clicks on theÂ�bold-lettered “this,” they are taken to another picture of another player and their house run total.

While going by means of the random players that seem, it is impossible not to see a portion-time player from time to time or a guy that has missed some of the year with an injury, or a guy who was called up following a couple of weeks, but they nonetheless have more house runs than Pujols.

From names like Trevor Plouffe to Travis Ishikawa, they all share a single issue in prevalent: They all have more residence runs than the $ 250-million man.

Will it continue? Not most likely, but they ought to appreciate it whilst it lasts.

Following acquiring some more bad news on Friday about would-be starter Tim Stauffer, the San Diego Padres will be looking to stabilize their rotation as they take on the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the second game of a 3-game series at Petco Park.

Stauffer was originally scheduled to commence Saturday for San Diego but will miss the outing after getting placed on the disabled list on Friday. Stauffer’s injury is listed as a sprained right elbow that has kept him to just a single start, which he created earlier this week, this season.

Eric Stults was claimed off waivers from the Chicago White Sox on Thursday and will commence in Stauffer’s spot. In 6 two/3 innings with the White Sox he allowed two runs on six hits although striking out 4. A journeyman reliever and spot starter, Stults has an 8-10 record and a four.84 profession ERA in six seasons.

Stults has in no way faced the LA Angels of Anaheim.

The Angels will counter with Dan Haren, who can be added to the list of players underachieving for the LA Angels this season.

Haren was supposed to be 1 of the leading of the rotation starters for a pitching staff believed to be as excellent as most in baseball getting into 2012. Haren has not delivered on those expectations and comes into this series with just a 1-four record and a 4.41 ERA via his 1st eight begins.

In his last commence Haren struggled via six innings, throwing 106 pitches even though allowing 4 runs on six hits in a five- loss to Oakland on Monday.

The Angels desperately require Haren to break out of his starting of the season slump and be the identical pitcher that finished 16-10 with a three.17 ERA a season ago, the fifth straight season he had an ERA beneath four.

Interleague play may be just what Haren wants as he is 14-6 with a 3.31 ERA all-time against opponents in the opposite league.

Haren will also have the advantage of his familiarity with the Padres, a team he pitched against usually during his two and a half year stint with the Arizona Diamondbacks from 2008-2010. Haren is five-two with a 3.34 ERA in his career versus San Diego.

The Angels dominated in the very first game of the series by posting a 7-two victory on Friday night.

Jered Weaver picked up his sixth win of the season in the game, lasting seven innings in which he allowed two runs on three hits whilst striking out four.

Mike Trout went three-for-four with an RBI triple and Erik Aybar had two hits and a pair of RBI as nicely for the Angels, who have won three of their last four. Albert Pujols went 1-for-four with a single in the game after hitting a house run in each of the previous two games.

Veteran Jeff Suppan battled by way of five innings, allowing 4 runs on six hits although also walking five and striking out none for San Diego.

Will Venable hit his second property run of the season but overall the Padres were stymied by the Angels pitching staff, going just 3-for-30 as a team in the game.

The Padres trailed by just two, four-two, in the eighth but the Angels scored 3 runs off of reliever Brad Brach in the inning to stretch out the lead.

This is the 1st series in between these teams considering that the Angels swept a series at home throughout the 2009 season. In that series the Angels dominated outscoring the Padres 26-7 in the 3 wins.
