Alex Rodriguez Flashes October Form in Costly Yankees Loss

(By Frank Isola)

It was like a trip down memory lane on Tuesday, as Alex Rodriguez went hitless in four at-bats, and failed to deliver in two crucial moments in the Blue Jays’ 2-0 victory over Joe Girardi’s punchless club.

Statement from A-Rod peeps as to report he claimed he was duped by Bosch into taking illegal stuff: "What is being reported is NOT true."

The report that says he is using an "I was duped" defense is being denied as untrue because at the time of the report, his defense team had not yet introduced any evidence. All they were doing up to that point was watching MLB present evidence and hear testimony from Bosch. His defense team was supposed to cross examine Bosch yesterday afternoon. Maybe it's a defense they "might" try once it's their turn to present their case. The "I'm just a dumb jock and didn't know what I was taking" defense isn't going to fly.

I suspect that Alex Rodriguez' lawyers know this, and are smart enough to not try it.

However, if it were completely up to Rodriguez, I believe that is so stupid and so vain (not just because I dislike him, but I really believe that he is very stupid and very vain, based on many of his actions over the years), that he would use anything as a defense, no matter how incredulous/unbelievable/ludicrous it was.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      By IPlayGM · Posted

      Still a lot of things to shake out this year that IMO affects this decision.   1. Is Silent J the heir apparent to RF? 2. Is Beavers taking the next step and showing as a viable starting OF? 3. Is Fabian taking the next step to be a legit 4th OF who can play all 3 positions?   I will be very surprised if Taters is on the team next year. Honestly I think that if he is it will be due to failure of the young guys to show out. Good thing for us is we have enough of them that I don’t think that will happen.

      He said after the game that he has five pitches, and if any three of them are working on a given night, he can mix them up enough to get batters out.

      He’s had quite the turnaround vs. LHP on this road trip.  Hopefully it continues all year!

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      Gunnar's definitely looking like the MVP of the Orioles and looks like priority #1 to me to get an extension. Burnes age works against him, because the O's maybe don't want to go longer than 5-6 years at most, but I could be wrong there. The Witt extension kind of set the parameters of what Gunnar will probably want at minimum. 2025 25 Kansas City Royals $8,111,111     2026 26 Kansas City Royals $14,111,111     2027 27 Kansas City Royals $20,111,111     2028 28 Kansas City Royals $31,111,111     2029 29 Kansas City Royals $36,111,111     2030 30 Kansas City Royals $36,111,111     2031 31 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2032 32 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2033 33 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2034 34 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2035 35 Kansas City Royals *$33,000,000   $33M Team Option 2036 36 Kansas City Royals *$28,000,000   $28M Team Option 2037 37 Kansas City Royals *$28,000,000   $28M Team

      It is probably thin because of the short career lifespan is for those positions, which is why there is no way Mullins should be extended.

      Gunnar Henderson's splits through first 97 ABs of the season:   Home -- .326 / .385 / .630 Away -- .294 / .362 / .667 Vs. LH -- .324 / .395 / .622 Vs. RH -- .300 / .358 / .667

      I don't think the point was to trash Holliday but to question the reliability of the metric. I share the question about Holliday's OAA. He hasn't been bad but I can't think of a single plus play and OAA thinks he is the best defender on the team.
