Niners Fan in CT Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Jeter's career WAR is the same as Scott Rolen. Derek is better but how much better? I'm not sure why this where does he rank thing is even a discussion. It's like asking where does Reggie Miller rank all time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm amazed how seldom managers walk the force runner on in that situation. Unless there's someone batting behind him that's scarier, I can't see the downside. Wasn't there a playoff series a few years back that ended on a walkoff single where they had runners at 2nd and 3rd and one out in a tie game. And I couldn't understand why they didn't walk the next guy to set up at least a force at home. It didn't end up mattering because of the hit, although the infielders were all in because they needed to go home for a tag play. The second one is a whole different situation since there's already a runner on third. I have no idea why managers don't walk guys in that situation either. Drives me nuts. But you don't walk a guy hitting .200 with one out and a guy on 2nd. That's just bad baseball - you know, not "The Cardinal Way". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its ESPN being ESPN, but still that anyone could think that Jeter is among the best players of all time(probably not in the top 100), is saddening. . .

cubbymark Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Jeter isn't even the best Yankee of his era. Mariano Rivera was arguably the greatest closer of all time. Unparalleled levels of dominance in an extremely volatile position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I have nothing against Jeter personally, and I don't really mind the retirement tour. But if some guy had virtually the exact same 20 year career playing for, say, Cleveland... Nobody would be calling him "one of the greatest players of all-time." (Also, I'd hate him a lot more...) I get what you're saying, but if Jeter brought five World Series titles to the Indians, I'm pretty sure Jeets would be ruling Ohio like some sort of dystopian Conan the Barbarian/King Arthur hybrid by now. It would be it's own nation, and there would be at least one photo of Jeter giving Michelle Obama a gift basket as part of a diplomatic mission. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nature Boy Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I feel like most of the people who are like "OMG JETER IS THE BEST OF ALL TIME" are either Yankee fans or people who have never seen Jeter play outside of Sportscenter highlights.

evilwaldo Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Derek Jeter - First ballot HOF SS The all-time stuff can just slide down the hill. He is not in that discussion but I will give credit where credit is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Over his career, Jeter went from overrated to underrated and allllllllll the way back to overrated. It's pretty damn amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipGofern Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 While I'm glad that jackass Kirk Gibson got pink slipped, why oh why couldn't they wait until after the season? At least with Gibson and his macho bullshit, the Diamondbacks would play these last three games against the Cardinals like their lives depended on it. After watching tonight's effort, now I fear they're just going to roll over and die. Man, even in retirement from managing and working for another team, Tony LaRussa finds a way to fuck over the Pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Please. Apparently Bryan Pryce called Mike Matheny to apologize for how shitty the lineup he is playing against Pittsburgh for these three games...because whatever is left of the Reds is literally so bad that he assumed everyone would think he was just trying to fuck the Cardinals over.

Dude, quit taking teams that have nothing to do with this and assigning obscure motivations to Tony LaRussa. He obviously fired Gibson as revenge for 1988.
