Justin Turner Among Dodgers Players Using Albert Pujols’ Bat

The Los Angeles Dodgers lineup has been in a collective slump since the beginning of August, so the team has been trying to find ways to jump-start the offense.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts switched the order of the lineup by moving Mookie Betts back to the leadoff spot, but the spark they needed might have come from another change.

A few players have begun using Albert Pujols’ bat and the results have been good so far, with the offense scoring 26 total runs over their last four games


quote:

Justin Turner was one of the first players to make the switch and he is 7-for-his-last-16 with two home runs since Sept. 12, when he first referenced using Pujols’ bat.

“I have no idea and I don’t care to know,” Turner said when asked what makes Pujols’ bat special. “I’m just going to keep using it because it feels good.”

Muncy began using the bat on Sept. 14 and promptly hit a home run and doubled. He also followed with a home run the next day.

Well, that’s not near the story that a .180 hitting defensive catching specialist using the bat is

But it would take more than that for Dave Roberts to win a title that included more than a half season with nobody in the stands

Look I’m as sick as the next Astros fan with all the cheating allegations but I’m pretty certain that bat was disallowed bc Of safety issues with it breaking not because it causes a competitive advantage. The Phillies fans looking for any excuse to call Astros cheaters are ridiculous. Let’s not stoop to their level

The bat was made of a wood that splintered easily. To be legal bats made of that wood had to have thicker handles starting in 2011. But anyone using the bat prior to 2010 could keep using it

Maybe the cHeatstros should ask the Dodgers to lend them those bats…
