Is AROD the worst playoff performer of all time

[ExodusNirvana]

Exactly. A-Rod, the monster slugger third baseman barely has a better playoff OPS than Derek Jeter. Digest that and put it in baseball context and come up with an analysis more substantive that a gay ass drake smilie.

"Bron is having a subpar playoffs, man."
"Yeah but he's averaging a half a point and a rebound more than Chris Paul."





That's not the truth, actually. Take this season for instance: Jeter's had the better season.

Also: a-rod is a banned substance using fakkit with a tainted career. He won't be viewed the same as Jeter. Deal with it. He's limping his way to an all time home run chase that no one cares about. Meanwhile, Derek DA GAWD went for 5-5 and homered for his 3000th hit. Some people have that ineffable "it," and some people really, truly don't.

And the reason Derek didn't move from short is the same reason a-rod's teammates in Seattle and Texas were fine seeing him leave, the same reason Dallas Braden's nobody ass felt comfortable screaming on a-rod, the same reason jason varitek DA UGLY HAIRCUT GAWD mushed that fakkit in the face like an errand boy who got out of pocket - because fukk a-rod.

Derek led his team by example by just saying no to a fukk boy and his fukk boy anti-swag. Good!

Slow down son ya killin em

playoff pitching is godly compared to regular season....so many strategies, so many techiques...if any of you played baseball you would know this....playoff baseball > any other sports playoffs AS FAR AS difficulties...so many ways to win and minimize your opponents momentum.. plus averages aint shyt when you walk or get pitched around..lets look at wins,RBIs,home runs, etc.....

You were so close to making a good point

lmao , killt my ahhhhh ... but its true...i didnt read the whole post so excuse me if im mistaken but lets look at AGods ( ) RBIS .....you win by runs scored(scoring them yourself or bringing them in), not the highest average... baseball is a game where you can go 1-4 with a 3 run homer(3 rbis) and win the game 3-2 and you had a "good game"..

 

[ExodusNirvana]

What's his RISP numbers though?

 

[23Barrettcity]

At this point, he shouldn't be the difference for a championship. Cano, Granderson, Texeira, and CC gotta lead the charge, while Jeter stays doing what he does.

Woah woah settle down grandy is a chump .

Vlad Guerrero Has almost 300 points lower! OPS but no one brings him up as a terrible postseason performer. No is saying Arod deserves a pass but hes bad as bad as you think


And Jeter is still a horrible as SS

Bet he got it from a bad bytch though. a-rod catching rare medieval plagues from the fossil formerly known as Madonna.

At no point in this thread did I ever say anything about a-rod being the worst playoff performer of all time. so Vlad Guerrero is really irrelevant to me. And it says a lot that a conversation about one of the highest paid players in the history of sports is being defined by examples of other players who have been worse in the playoffs.

He underperforms in the playoffs, his contract is an embarrassment to the Yankees, and he's a lame fakkit.

Just the facts.

The biggest gripe I have with A-Rod is WHEN he messes up in the post season and us all having that "it" feeling like we know him striking out or grounding out or popping out is going to happen. It seems like it's always either 2 outs or/and RISP when he comes to the plate and he'll ground out to short.

I never see him ground out to short, it seems to be a guaranteed strikeout when I'm watching.

Word, that's Derek Jeter DA 5 HOP GROUNDER GAWD's signature move.



If this year's team wins a championship, I might start believing God truly is - as the old saying goes - a Yankee fan.

Ks every 5.4 Plate Appearances for his career

Playoffs? every 4.5

Again, the numbers arent as far off as the perception is.

That's a huge difference numbers-wise though. That means he's striking out almost 20% more often in the playoffs.
