April 20, 200719 yr A-Rod hits is 2nd walk off HR in 2 weeks, is this guy on fire or what? Imo he is absoutley the early and leading cantidate for AL MVP. This early start doesn't mean that he will do this all season but it does mean that he is off to an amazing start. A-Rod is out to prove himself in NY and it looks like that he is taking no prisoners. He may be ready to re claim the "best player in baseball" tag that was on him. What are everyone thoughts on this? Of course, if he has a bad series this weekend vs, te BoSox, he will be a bum all over again in NY.
April 20, 200719 yr He is playing insane right now! The real question is--why pitch to him last night? First base was open, for goodness sakes! Cleveland deserved to lose for that bone head move.
April 20, 200719 yr Yes, this weekends series is huge for A Rod. I am a huge Yankee fan but I am also rooting for him to do well because of all the grief he had to take last year.
April 20, 200719 yr He is playing insane right now! The real question is--why pitch to him last night? First base was open, for goodness sakes! Cleveland deserved to lose for that bone head move. That is a great question. I know Giambi is swinging a good bat and the bases would have been loaded but man, A Rod is just in a whole other world right now.
April 20, 200719 yr Heard somebody this morning on ESPN radio that described Yankee lineup as circular, because it never ends with good sticks.
April 20, 200719 yr That is a good description. They all are good at getting deep into the count and hitting the good pitch and getting the pitch they want.
April 20, 200719 yr I'm not a fan of his, (mostly because he's a Yankee) but he is an amazing player. I think he is the best player in baseball.
April 20, 200719 yr A-Rod is on pace for the best season of his career. The year he hit 57 homeruns and had 154 R.B.I, h only had 6 HR and like 13 R.B.I at this point. IMO with the lineup he has surrpunding him, A-Rod is going to do something special this year. If he keeps this pace up, he'l' break Bonds single season record...write that down.
April 20, 200719 yr I guess the real question is will he be doing this down the stretch of the season and in postseason. I'm guessing Yankees fans are taking a "wait-and-see" approach on that as well. But you can't argue that his play hasn't been huge, especially consider the Pinstripes' pitching injury woes.
April 20, 200719 yr He's unconscious. Unfortunately what the UK-like Yankees fan will see is that he goes into a slump late in the season. They won't take into account that he single handedly has kept them in the hunt for the NL East at the start of the season...

That's not too bold of a prediction. If he keeps this pace up he'll hit 116 homeruns and drive in 351 runs. I just don't think he'll keep up this pace.
April 20, 200719 yr Author He is playing insane right now! The real question is--why pitch to him last night? First base was open, for goodness sakes! Cleveland deserved to lose for that bone head move. Imo maybe it was bc that Giambi was on deck and he had already hit one out and had a double in the game. A-Rod was 0-4. I don't know
April 21, 200719 yr Author A-Ros just hit #11, took C. Schilling over the green monter at Fenway. That is 11 in 15 games. :scared:
