A-Rod singles in latest minor league rehab game

July 10, 2013 by Mike Axisa 22 Comments

In his latest minor league rehab game with High-A Tampa, Alex Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a run-scoring ground ball single through the left side. He played eight innings at DH, grounding out to short and lining out to second in his other two at-bats. This is the second of three consecutive days Alex will play, so I assume he’ll be back at the hot corner tomorrow after playing their yesterday. Overall, A-Rod is 2-for-15 with three strikeouts in six rehab games so far.

this is his spring training. results mean nothing. playing without pain, swelling, or setbacks is all that matters. remember, a player can struggle through spring training and then come out gangbusters in april…or they can mash ST and just hit a wall in april.

cue the “he can’t even hit minor league pitching he sucks” crowd

  This joke expired about six years ago.

    I thought it was 4 years ago.
    
    You know, when he had one of the greatest post-seasons of all time and singlehandedly won us a World Series.

      and all the other great post-seasons he’s had!
      - Cool Lester Smooth
        
        Exactly. He kicked ass in 1997, 2000 and 2004.
        
        He’s actually a career 119 wRC+ hitter in the postseason.

    Making fun of A-Rod will never go out of style.

    I thought that joke was from October.

    Except…he just did that LAST October.

Is there any chance that Alex and Jeter come back this weekend? I don’t really know ARod’s timeframe, but is it most likely next weekend in Fenway?
I also wonder what the roster moves are gonna be for all these guys who are gonna come back in the next few weeks or so. Jeter for Alberto, A-Rod for Cruz makes sense. Granderson for Wells? Phelps for (maybe traded) Joba? Either way the 40-man shuffle is gonna be interesting as well.

  Jeter? Yes
  A-Rod? No

Funny people still think Arod coming back after the Allstar break.It’s good to dream.
- Get Phelps Up
  
  Funny people still have no idea how an appeal process works.

  Seriously. The 38 year old, on the down slide of his career, is just dying to come back so he can cough up 17 million dollars in fines, a humiliating 100 game suspension, a grilling by the NY media, and merciless jeers every time he comes to bat.
  
  The same people probably think OJ is looking for the real killers.

DIETRICH ENNS PITCHED 5 INNINGS TODAY! HE IS GOING TO EXPLODE AND DIE FROM LOWERING TEH ARMSLOT AND CONVERTING TO THE PEN!

people have a tendency to both overrate and underrate Arod’s Yankee postseason career

All things considered… he’s been a *slight* disappointment, not a failure, not a Robinson Cano or Nick Swisher disappointment, but a slight one

  you must be joking
  
  2012 .120
  
  2011 .111
  
  2010 .184
  
  2009 .356
  
  2007 .267
  
  2006 .071
  
  2005 .133
  
  How can these number not be considered a complete disappointment, especially coming from the highest paid player in the game.
  - brian
    
    because he drew plenty of walks and the Yankees have won only 1 title in the past 12 years, and he was the MVP of the Postseason run (although saying he single-handedly won the title is a bit much, they wouldn’t have won without Sabathia or Jeter either)
    
    He also put up big numbers in 2004, and was clutch in the Minnesota series that year
    
    Again… *slight* disappointment..
  - Preston
    
    His career line in the PS is .263/.369/.464.
    - Steinbrenner’s Ghost
      
      His Yankee line is suck, blows, sinks, awful, Great, putrid, laughable, highway-robbery.
