Blasphemy.After an offseason scare with blood clots, Shelley Duncan said yesterday he feels "wonderful -- like a stallion" -
even getting nothing in that last AB, he is still at a 1.048 Slg (which would still be a career high OPS)
.371/.431/1.048/1.479
23 - H (on pace for 248)
6 - doubles (on pace for 65)
12 - HR (on pace for 130)
20 - R (on pace for 216)
30 - RBI (on pace for 324)
65 - TB (on pace for 702)

Before Sunday's games, the Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez
had 12 home runs this season, more than the totals
of eight teams.
Finding the Sweet Spot in a Hall of Fame Swing
BOSTON, April 22 — Alex Rodriguez has hit 476 home runs over 14 seasons in the major leagues. Kevin Long, the hitting coach who helped fix the flaws in his swing, hit 17 over eight seasons in the minors. Now Rodriguez, the Yankees’ third baseman, is off to perhaps the hottest start in baseball history.
In the weeks after the Yankees’ swift elimination from the playoffs last October, the first significant change the team made was to promote Long from the minors to be the hitting coach. Rodriguez was not the only problem, but he was one of them.
Don Mattingly, a former most valuable player, was shifted from hitting coach to bench coach. The duty of instructing the Yankees’ hitters fell to Long, 40, who had coached since 1997 but never in the majors.
Rodriguez was one of the first people to call and congratulate Long. Rodriguez had just gone 1 for 14 in the playoffs and was dropped to eighth in the batting order in the final loss, extending a long streak of postseason futility. Boos greeted him regularly at Yankee Stadium.
The season had embarrassed Rodriguez, but he was proud to have withstood it and eager for another chance. He met with Long in Arizona, where Long lives, and set up another meeting for five days in December at Rodriguez’s home in Miami.Please read Baseball Fever Policy and Forum FAQ before posting. 2007-11 CBA

May Phillips never mention ARod's name again! I don't want him jinxed!

So I'm glad that we're all able to finally see that ARod has stopped over analyzing the pitcher and is back to just letting things fall in place."After my fourth season I asked for $43,000 and General Manager Ed Barrow told me, 'Young man, do you realize Lou Gehrig, a 16-year-man, is playing for only $44,000?' I said, Mr. Barrow, there is only one answer to that - Mr. Gehrig is terribly underpaid."- Yankees outfielder Joe DiMaggioComment

Quick Observation....
How many of ARod's HR or RBI put the Yankees up?
Because just off the top of my head...I think that he put the Yanks in the lead in about 11 games or maybe even more."After my fourth season I asked for $43,000 and General Manager Ed Barrow told me, 'Young man, do you realize Lou Gehrig, a 16-year-man, is playing for only $44,000?'

Yeah. But even he can´t carry the Yankees all by himself. As long as the pitching staff continues to do like this, we will be out of contention by August. No matter if we have A-Rod on a hot streak or not.Originally posted by Wee Willie Keeler View PostYeah but they lost so it's just useless stat padding

Some of the pitchers need to stand up and Torre needs to let some of the starter get outta their own mess!"After my fourth season I asked for $43,000 and General Manager Ed Barrow told me, 'Young man, do you realize Lou Gehrig, a 16-year-man, is playing for only $44,000?'

Right. And if that doesn't work, it is very simple: No play offs. And that might be the milestone of a new rebuilding process. I rather take a few steps back and rebuild towards a championship team, than going on like we did the last couple of years.Comment

At the moment, A-Rod is leading in the Triple Crown.
1st in BA (.400) - tied with Joe Mauer
1st in HR (14) - 2nd only has 7!!!
1st in RBI (34) - 2nd only has 17!!!!!Comment
