Lee's Down Year

[lumafia]

Derek Jeter has pretty much been Captain Consistent in just about every situation.

 

I still think he is the most overpaid player to ever put on a MLB jersey.

 

Needing just 1 win to close out their hated rival Red Sox, Captain Jetes puts up a 211/250/263 line as Boston comes up clutch while Jeter chokes away a 3-0 lead.

 

What a choker. Only the Yankees.

[Burtonbell]

And here I thought Clutch stats don't matter.

 

Forget getting Pujols, what's Aaron Boone doing these days? I saw him hit that clutch homer against the Red Sox...That's the guy right there! How about Jeff Blauser, that guy hits so well at Wrigley!

Guess this thread doesn't matter much now, does it?

He may have finished last year on a hot streak

 

I love how you say this like he got hot for the last month or so when in reality, his worst single month OPS after April was May with a .955.

Last 5 months of 2009:

 

.955

.973

1.027

1.014

1.295

 

Yeah, that's finishing on a hot streak. If by finishing on a hot streak you mean being an elite level hitter for the last 85% of the season. Even after an abysmal April, he finished 4th in the NL in OPS.

yeah but he hit well when the cubs were out of it (september) which doesn't count.

What about the four months before that?

 

-or-

 

Do I need to fix my sarcasm meter?

[TruffleShuffle]

last year it didn't count. in 2005 he raked from the start of the year, but for some reason that didn't count. perhaps not enough RBI against above .500 teams?

 

look at it this way - since 2004 (start of D-Lee's Cub career), the most successful franchises have probably been the yankees and red sox, right? these are the type of teams you'd like to see him step up against, but would you believe that he has only TWO RBI against those franchises in SIX years??? what an embarrassment.

[UMFan83]

But of course during that same period he happens to have 52 RBIs against the hapless Pirates. How strage.

[javy knows my name]

The thread really should have just ended after this:

Depending on the season, the most important time to hit well is either:

 

-The first half

-April

-April games against division opponents

-Games against teams above 500

-At bats only with runners on in the playoffs

-not 2005

-not in the 5 or 6 spot in the lineup

-September

-Against the Cardinals
