A-ROD. Thank you so much for changing TV approach for interview. You have set the bars up high, it'll be difficult to emulate you. Simply an outstanding job.
I am a Yankees fan, but how can you not like and respect J.D. Martinez? He is a true professional and carries himself very well! Extremely consistent player and what not?! I have to admit that the Red Sox just have a one of a kind team. They deserve all kinds of credit!
nice to read this , thanks , tigers fan here. not sure whats worse JD being amazing in arizona/boston or JV about to win more crap with houston. but they both sting
I love how JD destroys the exact thing A-ROD teaches, but didnt do. A-ROD teaches to hack down on the ball the JD said he used to do. But A-ROD actually did what JD does now.
A lot of yall hating on Alex. Come on! Can our past mistakes forever define us or can we not make a change to better ourselves and not be judged? Geeeze let it go. Life goes on and you correct your mistakes. Stop judging.
Sorry. He cheated at the highest level. He was a clubhouse cancer. He was an amazing crybaby and poor sport. These are not mistakes. They are indicative of his inner character.
I get what yall are saying but I dont know him personally and what things he did to correct his past. Did he lie and cheat? Yes big time. But a man can move on and change his inner character after self reflection and a lot of time.
So he was the biggest name in baseball at the time and he cheated twice. He did nothing to make me want to forgive him. He's trash and I still can't believe ESPN hired him
I'm a Red Sox fan and couldn't stand the guy when he played but I totally respect him as an analyst and I wish him well in his relstionship with JLo, and your right we have all made mistakes
JD has not only been one of the best free agent additions in Red Sox history, but he has been the consummate professional and hardest working player on that team as well. Can't wait to see what he does in the postseason and I hope he leads the Sox to a world series title!
He meant that: "point A is where the bat starts B is the ball. 2013: straight line from A to B and hit it down. 2014+: get on the same height as the ball and swing horizontal."
The straight line from A to B crosses the plate in a small section because you cross it. The horizontal swing crosses the height of the ball for the enitre time so you have a larger margain for error. A little to early for A to B results in a miss. The horizontal version results in a ball to left or a foul ball.
bakugo so basically instead of going the launch angle approach (swinging the bat at an angle) he’s about immediately locating the path the ball is coming through and dropping his back shoulder to get the “drive ball” swing?
Jorge Herrera the warning track is actually more a feel thing. The dirt vs. the grass. No way you can hear the crunch in a major league park with 40k+ fans.
"Great pitchers like Schilling, Pedro, Derek Lowe over the years". ...Lowe really was a badass in some high pressure situations. Glad A-Rod recognizes that.
A-Rod should have been a broadcaster all along. Can you look upset when you strike out every at bat in the playoffs? No Can you look like you care about JD’s swing. Yes, with sunglasses.
I love my Dominican people, thank you God for my parents... We have great talents in DR from musicians to baseball players to actors you name it. @dilonegram
JackGeezy so in 2013 when he was with houston when he was doing “point a to point b” hitting is he saying his bat wasn’t in the zone long enough because he also talked about having a smaller margin for error and not getting as many hits and not having much success?? whereas when he went to detroit and was with miggy he studied and noticed how miggy gets into the zone longer and has a larger room or larger margin for error regardless of being fooled on pitches and getting more hits?
Ann Nonymous JD doesn’t use PEDs. He’s a student of the game, always teaching himself more about what he can do to improve his hitting. He records himself taking BP to see what he can improve in his swing. He’s also adapted his unique swing to raise the ball and get more power out of his swing. Just because someone looks huge and is a power hitter doesn’t mean they’re on PEDs. Look at Mookie, one of the best power hitters in the game this year but is anyone accusing him of taking PEDs? No. It’s really sad you would accuse JD of taking PEDs. He’s an incredible person and player who would never take PEDs.
