honestly tho... if he just hit a fly ball to the outfield instead of the infield earlier it would have been just as effective.... last year the guy was one of the worst in the league at this, not sure about this year, but i can imagine not much has changed

[/ QUOTE ]

you put the nit in nitpick...jesus.

here's a fun stat:

Rodriguez continued his outstanding ninth-inning hitting, improving to 7-for-15 with four homers and 11 RBIs in the ninth inning this season.


But then again most of those were "when the game was out of reach already," right?

reading comprhension much?

i didn't say he wasn't clutch... i said his outs aren't productive ever, basically he never adjusts his batting approach due to game situations... he's an amazing hitter, theres no reason he should be at the bottom of the leauge in any hitting category

[/ QUOTE ]

well i have a feeling he may be at the top of a lot of categories because he doesn't care what his stats are when it comes to 'productive outs' (really they keep stats on that nonsense?)

i mean L O L

[/ QUOTE ]
his stats would still be at the top regardless... its not like i'm asking him to hit it to second baseman with man on 2nd and nobody out early in a ball game... but 7th inning or later in a tie game with a man on third 1 out he should change his approach a little to improve his percentage of getting the runner in... obviously he has the talent to do so, he shouldn't be so bad at it

i think alex's best chance of getting runners in is how he approaches every at bat. for the long ball.

obviously not if he was one of the worst hitters in the leaggue at driving in a runner in from 3rd with less than one out...

[technologic]

let's not be so results oriented, mmkay?

[onlinebeginner]

ya lets not look at what his results are at getting that run in when his primary goal is to get that run in... wait a second....

[THAY3R]

I'm pretty sure his primary goal is to produce runs, and not to be results oriented or anything but he's one of the best in the league at that so stfu.

So if he walks and sets up a big inning, it's a failure? And if he grounds out and scores the run, but kills the chances for a big inning, it's a success?

I guess the Yankees can count on winning any game 1-0 with their staff, eh?

[onlinebeginner]

ahhh i didn't say it was usually more important... it is RARELY more important.... still he should adjust in those RARE situations and stop sucking so badly at them, he has the talent

[onlinebeginner]

btw i do agree he is one of the best hitters in baseball... not disputing that
