So that's 3 1/12 and out 4 bad postseasons w/ the Yanks. That's all that needs to be said. The fact that you are comparing his #s to jeter is laughable and proves you haven't watched them play in october.
You keep repeating 2 bad postseasons over and over again when clearly he has had 3 w/ the Yanks. 1 RBI in 4 games does not make a postseason good.
Yup only two bad postseasons, the numbers are right there, and quit your *****ing about the 4 games against the Sox in 04, he still hit .400 in the 04 playoffs. Idiot.
98-Moot point...we won the World Series.
01-IIRC he hit .400 in the huge comeback against the A's...oh, and he had the flip then too. I'll take the one great series that year. Oh, and he did hit a walk-off HR in Game 4.
03, 04, 07: 3 series? FYI, in 04, his .200 alcs was also with a .300+ ALDS... 03, he hit over .330 in the DS and WS... and by the way:
ARod: .279 BA, .360 OBP, .480 SLG, 41 H vs. 38 Ks...pathetic stats. That's like Scott Brosius/Wade Boggs playoff numbers...
I hate people who distort statistics to try and prove a point...Jeter is one of the best postseason hitters of all time. Period.
As far as ARod returning Cashman said there is no way he's coming back if he opts out. Look it up.
Watch the ****ing games before you come in here and act like a know-it-all. Idiot.
I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.
Ah, give me something clever to say here.
Yup when Arod is hitting .400 in the 04 playoffs I watched all the games, and yes I know what I'm talking, ****ing douchebag.
alright, relax with the name calling and what not... keep it civil with the stats. that goes to everyone, not just gf83.
ah, nope. He is as good as gone.
Typical response, playing well in the ALDs meant more than finishing out boston in your world. has Arod ever done anything wrong?
Explain to me how hitting .267 w/ 1 RBI in 4 games is a good series?
Jeter has played in 25 postseason series and had at least 1 RBI in 23 of them, ARod played 5 series w/ the Yanks and 2 of the 5 he had zero RBI. It was nice of you to cherry pick stats to bash jeter who was a huge part of 4 Championships but as usual you have no clue what you are talking about.
ARod's last 16 postseason games: .143, 1 RBI
Bubba Crosby in 8 postseason ABs has as many RBi as ARod in his last 56ABs.
That is all we need to know.
He hit .400 against the Twins, he didn't hit .400 for the postseason in 2004. he hit .320 overall but .421 against minny and .258 against Boston and .000 in the last 3 games against Boston.
I'm cherrypicking stats, just the same way you like to cherry pick stats to bash Arod.
You guys are over analyzing the stats. Here is the one stat that matters...
World Series Rings: Derek Jeter-4
Alex Rodriguez-0
Irregardless of any other stats that you can come up with, Derek Jeter has demonstrated the ability to help find a way for his team to win it all over his career. On the other hand, Arod has never won and has never stepped up in the postseason when his team really needed him. It's not about personal stats once playoffs role around, it's about team performance. Just take a look at who has been winning championships, guys that play together and are a great TEAM. Arod is not a team player, period.
By the way, this is the first time I have ever supported Derek Jeter, and will probably be the last. I think he is very overrated, but one can not deny that he is a team player and that he comes through for his team more often than not.
GiantsFan, I wish SF would round up enough money to land Arod. Afterall, they need to pick up a selfish player to replace the one they are getting rid of... There are too many guys out there more selfish than Barry, but I think Arod may fit the bill.
