A-Rod, ALDS: .455 / .500 / 1.000 / 1.500.
Has A-Rod suddenly "earned his pinstripes" and become a "true Yankee" like sportswriters can’t shut up about? Well, let’s see. Last week, I mentioned that his career postseason line was .279 / .361 / .483 / .844. This one series — only three games — was enough to raise that to .291 / .381 / .519 / .900. Could it be a classic case of small sample size / regression to the mean?
Nah. That dude’s just a fucking choker. Wait until the LCS — then he’ll go .000 / .000 / -.500 / -.500.
