Jeter needs to run a little faster
Funny quote from Torii Hunter on throwing out Derek Jeter at the plate in the third inning after Gary Sheffield's single:
Funny quote from Torii Hunter on throwing out Derek Jeter at the plate in the third inning after Gary Sheffield's single:
"He hit the ball so hard I had plenty of time to make the throw," Hunter said. "When he hits a ball, Jeter needs to run a little faster." (Link)Translated: "Sheffield, you hit well. Jeter, you're dogging it." Okay, maybe that's not what he meant, but heck, I like the implications...
Anybody making fun of Jeter in the press is good by me. But I wonder what Torii would say about Manny?
He wouldn't say shit about Manny because all that stuff is overblown.
Anyway, I think I saw the play in question, and A-Rod should take some of the blame, for not telling Jeter to slide. Instead he held his hands up (the international symbol for "definitely don't slide") and moved one hand slightly to the right, as if to try to tell Jeter to run to the inside of the plate to avoid the tag. In one little hand motion. Nice try, Alex.
