MasonJet Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 All I know is, if this happened to the Yanks, fans would be up in arms about it. We'd be hearing how the Yankees would never do that, it's not the "Yankee Way". Congrats on winning a game. Should be a good, fun weekend. Wow great argument lol. The only thing I would be up in arms about is that someone on the Yankees would be stupid enough to fall for that trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that people realize what A-Rod did is a common thing, they're getting further and further away from talking about the actual play. Too funny.

Lurker Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Same thing as an outfielder deking a runner that he is going to catch the ball when it is short. no it's not. the reason guys call for the ball is so that they don't slam into one another and get injured. if some jackass like a-rod does this, next time someone calls for the ball, there's a seed of doubt in the fielder's head. maybe he goes for the ball anyway and a tragedy ensues. shameful crap like this is not part of the game.

Lurker Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 by the way, listen to what big leaguers say. this is not a common play because most players have some respect for the game. I think Luis Gonzalez would know more about this than Yankee fans. a-rod is a liar and tries to justify the crap he pulls by saying everybody does it. totally not true.

Barton Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Funny...in 30 years of watching baseball I cannot remember ever seeing anything like that. Thats because IT NEVER WORKS. Just because it doesnt work, doesnt mean it doesnt actually happen (players saying things rounding the bases as a popup is in the air). You wouldnt be hearing about this if the stupid schmuck caught the freakin ball. It happens, there's no doubt about it, it just never actually works. Its still alittle bush league by Arod, but the 3rd baseman is still a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Saw an interview with Goose Gossage on ESPN this morning. He said he has never even heard of someone doing this, and if they did, he would go headhunting. But, I guess if Dusty Baker and Fernando Vina say it's cool, then it must be cool.

Seeing as how Vina and Baker have actually been in the game sometime in the last 10 years their opinion is probably a little more valid. Also Vina was an infielder himself and experienced a play that actually was bush league from Albert Belle. But whatever, I wouldn't want to interrupt this Yankee hater circle jerk/whine fest.

Dusty Baker is the same guy that said he doesn't want guys to walk because they "clog up the basepaths". He is the same guy that ran Prior, Wood, and Zambrano into the ground. He is the same guy that found a way to get Neifi Perez into his lineup every single day. He is a horrible manager and he doesn't know jack **** about baseball. I guess if Steve Phillips would have agreed with you, you would call him valid too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 End of the 2nd or 3rd, Big Papi ran by A-rod as he caught the inning-ending popup, and apaprently made a comment. And as they were both coming off the field, seemed to be having a hearty chuckle about it. Screw Joe Torre; he'll be out of a job in a few months anyway. He may even get crazy and argue with an umpire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
