A new study reports what BYH has known for years: Jeter's a butcher in the field

Yankee fanboi angst makes the story.

Who needs a fuckin study? I've got two eyes.

And goodness, those quotes were hilarious. Ahh if the fanbois only knew about Jeter's "character" and idea of teamwork. And I guess he took $189 million for the love of the game?

 

Buh...buh...buh...but the Captain is clutch!

 

If ever you need evidence Americans are hostile toward knowledge...

 

You ain't kidding about the fan comments, hockeybeat. Hysterical. Thanks for posting that.

 

I loved how the first quote included the line, "I completely disagree. Jeter's a clutch player."

 

HE DOVE INTO THE STANDS AT YANKEE STADIUM! ESPN TOLD ME IT'S THE GREATEST PLAY OF ALL-TIME!

 

I seriously doubt Jeter is the worst fielding shortstop in baseball, even if he is the second best shortstop on the left side of the Yankees infield.
He's adequate, not horrendous.

But the dumbass blind Yankees fanbois responses are priceless, as is the shit for brains writer mentioning that the convention (or whatever it was) was held "in Boston (of course)." As if that matters.

Further proof that Yankees fans are the biggest assholes around and the NY Post is a homer Yankees fanboi rag.

 

i can buy that. the yankees and their bitter fucking fans lick the bottom side of sweaty, salty sack.

 

Re: A new study reports what BYH has known for years: Jeter's a butcher in the f

Pretty much every single statistical study of fielding ranks Jeter very close to, if not at, the very bottom of all regular MLB shortstops.

And if he were actually the mighty Captain of All Captains, the very incarnation of winning in human form, he would immediately storm into the manager's office and demand the Yankees move the best defensive player on the roster to shortstop, and move a clearly inadequate defensive player to another position.

Now that he's entering the rapid-decline phase of his career (34 in June), it's only going to get worse, too.

 

The study also reported: Jensen's team of researchers found that most triples were hit to right field, where it is a much longer throw for the fielder.

GOODNESS GRACIOUS, WHO WOULD'VE KNOWN!

Knowledge is good.
