can two boneheads make one meathead?
I didnt form any opinion nor make any statements about the yankees as a team, simply that A Rod always performs well when it doesn't matter. The only times he hit 50+ homers were in when texas was in last or close to last place. Most of his home runs come when the team is blowing someone out, sure he had a couple walk offs this season but overall, he just never performs well when it actually counts. Naturally baseball is not a one man show, especially for a batter, since you can pitch around him. A pitcher is naturally more important, especially in the post-season where A Rod more than usual performs nowhere near his overall career numbers.
So what I was basically saying is what everyone has said for years, A Rod is delicate china, his numbers look amazing and pretty but too much pressure and he cracks.
The yanks as always will bounce back, its only april and they'll make the post season but it doesnt change the fact that while A Rods numbers are amazing now, they're amazing when they're losing. Once it gets back into check and they figure out the pitching, he'll flounder again, it's much easier to hit 14 homers in april while they're a shitty team and he looks like babe ruth cause now he's not the main focus of everyones hatred.
