"I'm focusing on playing baseball. Less is more. ... Our team this year is playing well and there's music and there's apple pie and there's (championship) belts. The energy on this team has changed, too."

"I just think going back to Colorado and this hip injury for me is kind of a blessing in disguise, thinking about it. Just because it kind of gave me a chance to refocus and rethink things and take, basically, time out from all the white noise I created for myself over the last year and a half."

"I'm focusing on playing baseball. Less is more."

And I had no problem with him not having hit a HR in a gazillion AB’s. Stay hot Alex!

Good for him

Big bomb on Sunday…even bigger bomb on Friday. The less pressure he puts on himself,the more I see him thriving.

When you think about A-Rod at the plate

you just have to replay the “Jaws” themesong in the back of your head.

The guy is just lurking right now, picking off a few HR right now. He’s getting his hits still, but not really hitting for power.

The whole team is hot right now (kinda…the Red Sox did pitch very well), but A-Rod just seems to be doing the least.

Should it so happen that the rest of the team slows down….A-Rod is lurking. 50pts below career BA. His OPS is 60 pts lower too than career, while his OBP is normal, so that means a power outburst is due. Uh Oh.
