It's just baseball. You will have your ups and downs, there is no way a pace like that is sustainable for the whole season. He would have shattered Bonds' record with 80 something HR's if he maintained that pace.In Major League Baseball how does a pitcher earn a "Cy Young" award?
Cause he was batting at at unrealistic pace.Albert Pujols had an April like that and the same thing happened.People started talking the possibility of him beating the single season homerun record and then he came down to earth and never got close.He's not choking its simply that theres hot and cold streaks.He was hot for a whole month its only natural he'd come back down to earth eventually.At the end of april he was on pace for like 300+ RBIs.Obviously he wasn't going to keep that up lol.Most embarassing moment in MLB History for a player??
Because he's an overblown, overpaid, crybaby and not nearly worth what the Yankees suffer for him or his pay. As a Red Sox fan, I hope he rots in last place like the evil team he plays for.Is this year going to be the year of the pitcher?
Because it is impossible for somebody to be hot for 162 games.Beyond that, until somebody else on the Yankees becomes a consistent RBI threat, A-Rod isn't going to see a lot of great pitches.
Why do the White Sox suck so much?
It's not choking if it's in the regular season. Anyway, a hitter cant stay hot forever and the same goes with A-Rod. Pitchers are starting to pitch around him a bit, but at least it's not a flat out slump.How many major league ballparks have the dirt walkout to the mound?
it looks like he's trying to pull the ball too much...he had such a tremendous april and everything came so naturally for him during his hot streak that he is now instinctively trying to hit home runs, and when you try to hit home runs you generally go into a slump because you look for that one big swing too much...he just needs to go back to looking for base hits, and the home runs will come...also, it may just look a little worse than it really is because his recent numbers will be compared to the ones of april, although he hasn't yet homered in the month of mayWho is the best baseball batter this year?
'cuz derek jeter stopped putting out...Does anybody else think Steve Phillips is an idiot?
Do you know anything about baseball? You think that A-Rod is cooling down because he was in the spotlight? He was in the spotlight all through April and he was red hot. In late April, he was on pace to hit 120 homers and have 324 RBI. No one could have kept up that pace. He is not in a slump, but he has cooled down a lot. It's only a matter of time, probably soon, where A-Rod goes off on another tear and hits 10 homers in a month.What is the new york yankees lifetime record?
Well, thats just baseball you have your good and bad days. But I think that there was so much talk about him having the bests eason ever. he was going to be MVP, on a roll to be the Triple Crown Winner, and Beating the Single Season Homerun Record, that it stuck in her head, and he was trying to hard to hit mroe homers. He is much better, when he tunes things out and just plays baseball.I think by the time A-rods career is over. He will be homerun king. If he doesn't start getting hurt, like Griffey has been through the years, if Griffey didnt get injured so many times he would be at , at least 700 homers so far
The curse of A-rod: can the Yankees (or any team in MLB) win a championship with A-rod on board?
Because he is humanIn 1967, who finished second to Carl Yastrzemski for the Red Sox team lead with 20 home runs?
Wow, he has cooled down a little...and already folks are saying he is choking? He leads the league in homers still...give me a break. Dude is still batting around .340 with 39 or 40 RBI. Spoiled Yankee fans.He's pulling a Chris Shelton
GO TIGERS
Cooling down is a better than "choking." It was not possible for him to keep up the pace he set in April, not possible for him or for anyone else in baseball. By year's end, A-Rod will be among the league leaders in average, home runs, and runs batted in. That is what matters, and that is the way his season should be judged. This from a Red Sox fan.
Chow!!
What pittsburg pirate player hit the sausage mascotwith his bat during a baseball game?
its the cycle of baseball your in a hitting streak then you can't make contact with the ball. There are over 150 games a year so every player has time to make a comeback.No! I think yankee fans are just horrible to him. Whenever he's hitting they're all like "Go A-Rod", and whenever he goes through a slump, it's more like "Boo, get him outta here". May I say that it is unrealistic to think that he would hit like that all season. Also, even the best players go through slumps.
Does defense out weigh offense? hall of fame!?
Baseball is a marathon...and when it comes to hitting you are either "streaking" or "slumping". I still look for A-Rod to have an amazing year, but have it overshadowed by the fact that the team is not ultimately successful.What professional baseball player had the most home runs in 1986?
