Earth to Aroid...........


Has anyone else notice he's lost at the plate so far this year?  Yea, yea, I see his BB's are huge and his OBP is .400 plus, but his BA is under ,240 now.  It's been 29 games guys, I'm a little skeptical myself. He may be still hurting so I'll give him that....Just wanted to get your opinion as I've made mine....the guy is not focused on baseball.

Are you Mike Francesa?

BA is overrated. It’s no coincidence that the Yankees have the best AL record since A-Rod came back.

ditto

he missed spring training, and having played a month so far, Arod is essentially starting his ‘regular season’ now…he still hasn’t found his groove yet, despite 8 homers. wait ’till he catches fire

Other teams and their fans

should actually be quite scared that A-Rod is not doing so well. If he’s proved anything the last few seasons, its that a slow start will not stop him from being at the top of the league in all his numbers.

A-Rod will end up hitting 35+ HR and 100+ RBI. His OBP is right where it normally is and once he starts raking again his Slugging will too.

And A-Rod is not Nick Swisher either. He’s not gonna end up with a .250 BA or lower, he’ll be at .290 before all is said and done, maybe higher.

all it takes

for A-Rod to get his numbers is to just shoot up some more roids

These posts should be treated like Joba to the bullpen and be deleted.

A-Rod is SO NOT CLUTCH, except for that game tying home run he hit against Philly a few weeks ago…..

thanks for the comments guys

aroid hit his second homer in 19 games tonight, wew! He’s on his way back……Please, this is Tex’s team now, he’s the man mashing the ball everywhere and a clearer front-runner for mvp
