Erick Aybar gets a hit off Jeter
Considering that you guys don't live in NY anymore you probably missed last night Yankee game, if you seen any action of the game you probably only seen it on the Internet & only saw all the positive stuff all bunched in a 45 second highlight reel. If that's the only action you saw, you probably missed that base hit Erick Aybar got off of Derek Jeter in the Yankees 6-2 win over the Anaheim Angeles last night, well it was sort of off Jeter. What should had been called an error on Derek Jeter was called a hit for Erick Aybar, I have to say that was the worst I seen Jeter muff one up, he went after a ground ball to his right like a 45yr with a pot belly who plays softball would have gone after it, & to have it be called a hit, embarrassing. If you saw it, you would have to agree with me. For a guy who I still consider on top of his game, (just look at what he did last night, HR, triple, 2 rbi's), but on this play, wow. I'm not calling for the Yankees to move Derek Jeter to another position, he is still a very capable defensive player, but last night on that play, it looked as if Derek Jeter just lost another step.
The Mets continue to play stupid baseball.
And staying on the observant tip, yesterday Mets 5-0 win to halt the 4 game losing streak didn't come without some negative play from the Mets. One thing that has been a constant with NY Mets baseball in the last few year is the abundance of dumbness that this team seems to be affiliated with. Last night it was one of those classics base running mistakes from the Mets, at times it is like watching 4 year olds running the bases, want proof? well check out this scenario, Reyes is on 2nd, Castillo is on 1st, the Mets looking to add to the 1-0 lead are looking to get a little aggressive on the base paths & what looks like a double steal turns into some more ugly baseball from the Mets. Reyes the lead runner bluffs, Castillo the trailer, runs with his head down as fast as he can trying to make it to 2nd not realizing that Reyes had stayed put accept when he was halfway towards 2nd, of course Castillo is put out for the 1st out of the inning. Minutes later, Reyes I guess, decides he wants to try & make up for the gasp & decides to try & steal 3rd only to be thrown out for the 2nd out. All this was happening while David Wright was at the plate. These Mets are simply amazing.
Keeping tabs
Met have lost all 3 series while the Yankees have won their 3 series

What are you talking about? I saw the play and I'm rewatching it now. If anything Jeter misjudged the hop but to hear you describe it, its like he barely made it to the ball.
Oh he got to it alright but he should had been infront of it, lets just say Jeter looked bad, & it was called a hit when it should had been a clear error.
You're throwing peanuts at whales. You just aren't going to get them to bite. I haven't even seen the play but if this is the worse u have to report, please continue. Thank goodness Jeter isn't stealing third, with less than two outs and Tex or Arod on deck or at bat. Players who have a mindset to be individuals (Reyes) in a team sport for either greedy purposes (stats) or to make up for fucking up earlier (Reyes), can't be fit to carry Jeter's jock strap after playing a game in the sweaty hot sun. Umm, jeter's sweat... tasty.
Who's comparing Reyes with Jeter here?, surely not me. I'm just reporting whats happening, like the stupidity with the base running with the Mets.
I just call it like I see it.
I have now seen the play. It should have been an error because he tipped it with his glove in my opinion BUT for u to characterize it the way u did is just simply retarded . But why should I have expectations for the way YOU see things? It was obvious that he stopped to get the ball but it short hopped his glove. Freddy, that whole speal u went on was ridiculous and it just doesn't make any sense for you to characterize it that way. I actually watched it three times to see if I could dignify how u described it and I can't. Do u need to watch it again? I think u do.
Saying that Reyes plays the game for individuality (stats) is just not true, yes he was trying to make up for a mistake but does that warrants him this title? You could say the guy is not a smart player and I would agree with you with that, but this mindset you talk about is not the way Jose Reyes plays the game, at least I don't thinks so.
So your saying that Jeter didn't look slow to you on that play? ok then.
Of course it was an error.
Freddy, this is a perfect example if you not understanding what I wrote. I didn't characterize Reyes that way. I gave reasons (greedy-stats) or (making up for a play). Didn't u see I put Reyes in parentheses next to 'Fucking up earlier'? Please pay attention. All I said was either or. For Reyes I was referring to the latter.
Also, I wasn't referring to a comparison of the two SS's (not that there is any - insert jock strap joke here). I just happen happen to be mentioning this because Reyes and Jeter were mentioned on the same post.
That's exactly what I'm saying. Slow? Not even close. You can't acknowledge that instead of getting in front of the ball which he could have done, he chose to play the ball to his left and use his momentum taking him to first base. The ball simply did not come up for him. U are getting a little out there. It's not even a matter of opinion. The ball went under his glove. That's it.
'he went after a ground ball to his right like a 45yr with a pot belly who plays softball would have gone after it, & to have it be called a hit, embarrassing.'
Umm, you want to get nit picky. The play was to Jeter's left. I don't even know why I get into this to you because it's easy to discredit you. Potbelly? What does this even mean when referring to jeter! Calling it a hit is embarassing? Why's that? Jeter isn't the one making that decision and it's common knowledge that the official scorer will always favor the home team in general.
'I'm not calling for the Yankees to move Derek Jeter to another position, he is still a very capable defensive player, but last night on that play, it looked as if Derek Jeter just lost another step.'
I couldn't think of a better fallacy than that above statement. He lost another step but you still consider him to be on top of his game? Which one is it bro? You can't have it both ways. You remind me of those people that say Mo is just too old as he continues to get better.
You didn't really characterize Reyes in that way, but it could had also been looked at that way.
Same post but 2 different stories, now your confusing me.
So you can say he has lost a step which I also said & that's ok, but I can't add to that by saying he is still on top of his game?
Dude but wasant Derek Jeter up there being mention with the MVP's last season? so what's wrong with those comment?
nitpickers
You didn't really characterize Reyes in that way, but it could had also been looked at that way.
So ur saying you knew I didn't characterize Reyes in that way yet you chose to dedicate a post saying that I did. Man you are a piece of work.
"So you can say he has lost a step which I also said ..."
Oh and when did I say Jeter lost a step??? I said he has not slowed down.
oh so he has not slowed down, right.
Anyways I'm not going to get any deeper on this. Peace out.
Jeter slowing down was never in question.
It was ONLY apparent to you that he "just lost another step" but to me, Jeter is "still consider on top of his game"
Look at that, I made my point using your words.
"If you saw it, you would have to agree with me."
NO I WOULDN'T AND I DIDN'T.
lots of word play
Cortesy of u? Yes I agree.
How about these Mets? 17 Shutout innings. Wow. To lose this will break them.
I went back and looked at that play again and I still don't get how you can describe it as embarrassing.
Anyways, the Mets have thrown 18 shutout innings, the only problem is that so have the Cardinals. Hate to lose a game like that.
Yes this will break the Mets.
Kyle Loshe in left field?
the Cards want to lose this game.
unbelievable, why did they pitch to Molina?
I'm drained.
Freddy younpiss me the fuck off and I have no idea why. It has nothing to do with being a fan. That could have happened to any professional infielder and it wouldn't be embarassing. That's the least of my stupid concerns. It's the ridiculous potbelly softball shit you threw in there. Grow up. Me and Ray both have the MLB app on our phone so we can easily pull up that clip. Embarassing is such a ridiculous term to use referring to that play regardless of who it was. If he had thrown it into the fifth row, that would be embarassing. Embarassing is what happened to Castillo in the inter-league game a couple of yrs ago. That is embarassing. I couldn't help but feel awful. If it had happened to Pedroia, I'd be ecstatic.
How do two teams score only 2 runs in 20 innings? At least your Mets won so you can't be too broken up about it but whats up with KRod blowing the lead?
Yea the Mets won that game but that was a excruciating win. KROD excuse was that he was up & down so may times throughout that game & threw so many pitches while warming up that by the time he was in the game he felt a bit off and worn, whatever. I think Jerry did a good job managing that game but my thing was how do you pitch to Molina who has beaten you up before? (2006), plus Molina is the toughest guy to strikeout in the majors, I mean in that situation you pitch to the next guy who was Allen Craig, Allen Criag?
Larussa blew that game, I mean talk about the king of over managing, he was taking out pitchers like it was a spring training game, plus he took out Matt Holliday way too early & didn't even have a bench guy to replace him with, I mean Kyle Loshe in LF? He also had that situation in the 13th I think it was, where they had the bases loaded with 2 outs where he sent out a pitcher to pinch hit while he still had one more bench guy remaining, a catcher he wanted to save just in cause Molina got injured, I could not believe it. And what about all the mistakes the Cards made on the base paths, they make my Mets look good. Yea the Mets needed that game a lot more then the Cards did but still, even with the win this was a hard game to watch and feel good about. The Mets had only 1 hit after 13 innings.
We all know the Mets are a tight bunch right now, Jason Bay struck out 4 times and is having a Mark Texiera moment, Reyes looks like a lost rookie at the plate right now, the whole team just looks way too tight, pressure pressure. Thank god these 2 teams are scedule for a night game tomorrow, ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.
It was like a miracle that the Mets won that game, I never felt good that the Mets were going to pull that one out.
I was about to say why is this the Sun night game? Nevermind, I know why. There's only one good reason.
what reason is that Danny?
I don't know that its much of a win for the Mets. I didn't see the game because they didn't show it out here but from the looks of it the Cards were trying to hand the Mets the game and it still took 20 innings. You said it yourself Fred that they didn't have a leftfielder and if I'm not mistaken were using position players to pitch.
Anyways, congrats to Ubaldo Jimenez from throwing a no hitter last night. He's the 4th Dominican pitcher to throw a no hitter. Who are the other 3?
Man I was thinking last night if there has ever been another Dominican to throw a no no, I really don't know of any off the head, & I'm not going to do a search to make myself look good.
1 guess, is Jose Rijo one of them?
I don't think Pedro got one although he did came close once.
Who are the 4?
Well one I knew off the bat, Marichal. You were close with Pedro but it was his brother Ramon, I vaguely remember that one. Jimenez was the 4th but I can't remember who was the 3rd. With the 4 no hitters, D.R. is now 2nd with most pitchers from a country to throw a no hitter.
Oh I should had known about Marichal's no no, now I remember when we went to SF and saw the plaques outside the staduim then came across Marichal's plaque which said that he had thrown a no no.
Mr Pujols sir.
WTF happen to the Mets?
I know they were leading 3-0 for a majority if the game.
John Maine & the lack of offense.
