Jeter HR
 

Jeter just went upper deck right field. First righty I've ever seen do it.

Re: Jeter HR
 

How CLUTCH!!!! He's the clutchiest clutcher that ever did clutch.

Kidding aside, that's a shot.

Re: Jeter HR

Jeter has done it before. I was at a game back in 97 or 98 and he hit a shot to the upper deck in right. I think he has more power than people realize. Tim Raines used to say that if Jeter ever became a patient hitter, he would hit 50 home runs.

was he high at the time?

Re: Jeter HR
 

i don't think even yankee fans would believe that stat.

Re: Jeter HR
 

he could also pitch in relief if he wanted to

Re: Jeter HR
 

Could he heat a burrito so hot that even HE couldn't eat it?

"Tim Raines used to say that if Jeter ever became a patient hitter, he would hit 50 home runs."

Well, he did walk 91 times one year and hit 24 home runs. And he was swinging the bat well, hitting .349.

30 maybe. Of the Yankees who hit 40, only Dimaggio was a right-handed hitter (and Mantle was a switch-hitter who hit most of his home runs left-handed).

Jeter\'s Stat Page
 

Was just reviewing his ESPN stat page, and the one that stood our most glaringly to me was:

2005 Salary: $19,600,000

What a country, huh?

No, not at all. He said the problem with Jeter was that as good as a hitter he is, he should be better. He said Jeter is too agressive for his own good and doesn't know how to work the count to his favor. He said if Jeter would learn to be patient, he would hit for more power but his BA would suffer. But he said that because Jeter loves to attack the ball and hit to right, he doesn't wait for hitters counts and get fastballs to pull. The reason I remember this interview by Raines is because it was on ESPN the day I won $500 in a scratch off ticket lottery.

Re: Jeter HR
 

"He said Jeter is too agressive for his own good and doesn't know how to work the count to his favor."

I think that's still true. He often swings at the first strike. And perhaps that glide in towards the strike zone, while getting him a few extra HBPs, may well compromise his strike zone judgment.

Re: Jeter HR
 

I just got back from the game. Gotta love Al Leiter throwing 125 pitches, in 5 [censored] innings.

And Jeter not being able to decide if he wanted to throw to 1st or 2nd in the 2nd inning.

Bonehead decision of the day though, definately putting chacon in the bullpen.

It's amazing we came away with the win here, and i got to witness something that has only happened 15 times this season....a tony womack rbi.

edit - oh yeah, did anyone else see PHIL NEVIN STEAL 2ND? I about crapped my pants...

Re: Jeter HR
 

The Randy Johnson trade might go down as one of the worst trades in history. Posada looks like he's starting to wear down; we'll wish we had Navarro next year of the year after. Vasquez and Halsey will probably win 200 games the rest of their combined careers; how many will Randy win?

Is Chacon still scheduled to start on Sunday? Why not let Sturtze pitch the 8th and the 9th?

Re: Jeter HR
 

hey andy, good news, we scored!

Re: Jeter HR
 

andy we scored again! great news!

You obviously don't follow the Yankees closely at all. Sturtze has pitched something like 12 innings in the past week and a half.

Why? What I said is true. Sturtze has pitched a ton and it made no sense for the Yankees to pitch him yesterday. Andy must only watch when his team wins.

Andy Fox is a class act and he's been watching the Yankees since your father was pooping in his pants. So lighten up.

Re: Jeter HR
 

Sturtze threw no more than 15 pitches in any game from the 6th thru the 11th. On the 5th he threw 20, but he didn't work on the 4th. He did throw 39 pitches on the 3rd.

But I see your point. The team is pitching-poor, so I guess desperate times call for desperate measures.
