This is the A-Rod we remember from last year.
Bases loaded, 1 out, tight game, Arod up. Double play.
Man on third, 1 out, Yankees behind, Arod up. Strikeout.
Come to think of it, yesterday, if Teixeira doesn't make that hard slide to break up the double play ball hit by A-Rod, maybe the Yankees lose that game. They went on to score 5 runs with two outs, but all of it was made possible by Tex.
This isn't to say that A-Rod's protection isn't helping the team. It is. But he has a disturbing habit, one that is becoming predictable, of performing POORLY in the clutch. Not average. Not ok. POORLY. That needs to stop.
Edit: Today A-Rod drove in Tex to put the Yankees in front 6-5 in the 5th. More of that, Mr. Rod!
