Derek Jeter Strikeout Thread

[HammerDown]

Francis, do you think we should pin this thread til the end of the season?

 

[Mike Oxlodge]

"Of course he has range, look at that jump throw, throwing out Benjie Molina"

Francis, do you think we should pin this thread til the end of the season?

:argue: Yes for the comedy

 

[Mike Oxlodge]

"you wish your team had a player like Jeter"

 

[HammerDown]

"Of course he has range, look at that jump throw, throwing out Benjie Molina"

"Jeter ranges to his right, backhands the ball, leaps into the air and fires to first. Benji "Wheels" Molina out by half a step."

"What are you talking about? Derek Jeter has great range."

[black francis]

thats fine, just as long as the integrity of the true purpose of the thread is not sacrificed.

its to glorify his ability to strikeout.

 

[Mike Oxlodge]

Jeter was on steroids in the late 90s.

 

[HammerDown]

"What do you call a slow roller to Derek Jeter's left?"

"Single up the middle!"

 

[HammerDown]

"The best ever?"

Derek Jeter isn't even the best shortstop on his own team.

 

[HammerDown]

Watching Jeter's first AB on YES right now. The knob-slobbing is unreal.

"With Jeter back this is as complete a Yankees team as you're getting this season."

Pathetic if true.

 

[HammerDown]

Update your total, Francis. Jeter, the Yankees 2-hole hitter, is not batting .206 on the season.

Jetes will look great in sole possesion of #17.

Incredible that it won't be long before a singles hitter surpasses one of the most prolific HR hitters in the history of the game who played something like 27 yrs. How can that be?!

 

[HammerDown]

No SO yet but Jetes now 0-4 and batting .184. Will Girardi be fired for moving him to the 9-hole?

Reasonably, he should be switched with Ichiro in the 7-hole.

 

[HammerDown]

NOT a stat you will hear on YES.

How long does Jetes stay in the 2-hole? Is Girardi's job in jeopardy if he benches Jeter or drops him in the order?
