This is why I brought up his .BA numbers, his hit total and the offensive WAR numbers. Because it doesn’t matter who’s on your team, or where you play. You still have to go out and hit the fucking ball. You’re blinded by hate, sir. Let it out.

Yes, someone else already told me this. I find it hilarious.

Okay, then what is your argument that he wasn’t a great hitter? Because he played for the yankees in the 90's? Because he was a “marketable Star’? Or some other unquantifiable reason that can’t be backed up?

I’m sorry that I thought hitting statistics were an important part of an argument of how good a baseball player was. I MUST BE CRAZY!

Lol holy shit is that true? That’s great. Look, I’ll take your word for it. He wasn’t a great fielder, certainly not in his latter half of his career, but that was never what made him great in the first place. Dude was a hitting machine.

It is representative of how often he got a hit whenever he was at bat... which spoiler alert: was a fuck load.

People just loooove to gloss over this. He wasn’t an excellent hitter. He is statistically speaking one of the best hitting Shortstops of all time.

I mean, that would make sense. But honestly, people just hate Jeter because he’s Jeter. As a Yankee fan I’ve learned to accept this.

So did they give him 3 gold gloves out of charity?

From 1996 from 2012 here are his batting averages.

Don’t bring up how great of a hitter the guy was. People are just deciding to gleefully ignore that today.

is a career .976 fielding percentage a bad thing?

Man, if I listened to you guys I’d think that a career .310 hitter with over 3400 hits (6th all-time) was a trash player.

Knew this would get play today. If Kesler is in Johansen’s head, he can certainly stay there. He has 4 points in two games. Kesler “getting into his head” shouldn’t be the narrative for last night’s game, but rather Rinne coming back down to earth and Nashville not getting any depth scoring right now.

Always been a huge fan of this franchise. I like Absolution, too, even in all it’s B-Movie glory. Contracts, though.... Contracts is the blacksheep of the bunch. Such a weird, dark, game. From the murder scene/ghost in the hotel, to the weird butcher guy that dances with that dead girl’s body to the song “Put Your…

You’d think people would learn not to count out that cyclops. Dude doesn’t quit. Could easily see him stealing a decision from Yoel.

Yes. I care. Maybe you should watch and then you’d care too.

GSP can’t take a dump without a 6 month game plan.

I mean, if this is true he obviously shouldn’t have beat the hell out of him, but here’s a thought... Don’t Talk Shit.

Then you should check out the Preds when they come to town next year. They’re likely to give you an orgasm.
