Yea, I definitely agree there. Pujols has no protection and he's still unbelievable (I'm using that word a lot tonight for some reason), not to mention the Cards have a better record. But if Berkman keeps this up... I dunno if you can deny sheer numbers. I'll tell you though, he's loving the protection in this line-up. Before this, the best player he's ever had batting behind him was Morgan Ensberg. I just can't help but wonder what his numbers would have looked like over the years if we had managed to get Tejada a few years earlier.
And he sort of got the shaft tonight because I think he lead off an inning three or four times. But if Bourn ever learns how to get on base, Berkman's RBI numbers are going to be enormous.
