Comments on: A case of perception vs. reality with Jeter http://riveraveblues.com/2008/07/a-case-of-perception-vs-reality-with-jeter-3425/ A New York Yankees Blog Sun, 27 May 2012 21:25:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: monkeypants http://riveraveblues.com/2008/07/a-case-of-perception-vs-reality-with-jeter-3425/#comment-122124 monkeypants Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:33:19 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=3425#comment-122124 Yes, thank you. He has been hitting close to the usual Jeter for weeks now, and his overall averages are slowly climbing up. He will probably not end up with a typical .850 OPS season. But another 15 points on his BA will probably translate into another 15 points in OBP and somewhat more in SLG. So, when his current .286/.348/.404 ends up around .300/.365/.425/.790 OPS, you have almost the exact same numbers as his age 28 season (1998). A weaker season by his standards, but still awfully good for a SS. By the way, his current numbers are still far better than the average SS this season, especially the SS in the AL. Yes, thank you.

Pitchers seem to be pitching him low and inside (below the hands/at the hands) a lot more. If one has trouble with ones hands...ouch! Also, if your bat is getting slow, you have a tendency of leading with your hands (to much). I don't believe it is anything to do with age, more likely injuries. But, damm it Jete...stop hitting DP balls! 27/08? Jeters’ hand must have been hurt much more then he let on. Pitchers seem to be pitching him low and inside (below the hands/at the hands) a lot more.

I have a very bad feeling with Angles coming in they are trouncing the red sox on the road and home. they have much better starting pitching matchups this weekend and they just added teixera. I foresee a very ugly 4 days let alone baltimore. I hate to say that because I love the Yankees but really we look kind of outmatched and outclassed against the angels and with boston playing the A's we need to win these games. Consider the following garlandvpettite-maybe we have a shot here. Santanavponson(there is a likely loss for us) weaver v mussina(possible but I am not excited) and the laugher of them all lackey v rasner(no chance we win this game) again I hate to sound this way but there is no way a yankee team should be have rasner and ponson in the rotation. If getting washburn means giving up on a limp bat like gardner then lets do it because we have ajax and cabrera is just as good as gadner. Is anyone else woried about this weekend?
