Bachaveli said:So far first two games of the season, we have seen what A-rod can and can not do.in first game he hit GS and all in a blow out game. last night even though he had two more hits, he had two opportunities once in 7th and 9th in tie game he could've given a lead but he couldn't come through neither time.
Maybe it's just because is that good and does get that much praise, but his failures seem to be highlighted.Bank Robber said:I believe that member is a total dumbass because every at-bat should mean something. going 1-4 and having a game-winning home run in the 9th inning doesn't make you a better player than someone who goes 3-4 and strikes out in the 9th inning.
A-rod has come through at some moments (recent ones being the 2004 ALDS, the pennant-race in all of September last season), and his failures (2004 ALCS, 2005 ALDS)
let alone taking in account the physical talent of A-rod, who's a 5-tool player and the best all-around player in baseball

Either way, he seems poised to overtake Teddy Ballgame as the Dan Marino of baseball.
