He has Pujols at 0-2 in the series.and I've decided that if this thing comes down to a Pujols at bat, I want this guy on the mound.

Unfortunately, it depends less on who the batter is than it does on what inning it is.

And I think a lot of the blame for that goes to the guy in the St. Louis dugout.

0-2 in the regular season as well, both times getting him to ground out (into a key DP in the 8/22 game).

I don't think I'd lift Wagner or Heilman for Bradford if Pujols was up in a critical spot, but any other reliever, sure.

When Mota got Wilson in the 8th inning of game 1, it was Bradford, not Heilman, warming in the pen to face Pujols.

I think Willie feels the same as you, Edgy.

Considering that Chad is also in his yearbook as the 'boy most likely to keep the damn ball in the park' makes him a good choice to face Pool-holes.

You know, I'm consistently grossed-out when someone phonetisizes Pujols name as Poo-Holes.
