Me either.... although I think he was a pussy by wreathing in pain and letting the trainer check his arm. I also would have no problem with the Rays giving him a 94 mph pitch to the ribs. If you are going to get a free base on my team you will have to earn it.Leonardo;485946 wrote:I have no problem with what Jeter did.

No way in hell do I look at the ump and say "it didn't hit me." That's like looking at an ump who just called a ball, that was clearly a strike, and saying no that was a ball, do not call it a strike.

Manhattan Buckeye;486355 wrote:Agreed 100%, Umps miss calls often, no reason for a player to correct them. But there is a big difference between a person trying to take a charge in basketball and a soccer player acting is if they are going to die on the field. Jeter, unfortunately, came closer to the latter.

No different than an outfield trapping the ball and raising his glove as if he caught the ball or a phantom tag by an infielder selling to the ump that he tagged the runner.
One difference that many people take seriously - never sportsmanlike to act injured when you aren't. It is what separates sports from soccer.trep14;486996 wrote:+1. If people are going to hate Jeter for this, they have to hate guys who act like they made a diving catch when the ball hits the ground. Or guys in football who hold their arms up innocently after holding a guy by his jersey when he was trying to get to the quarterback. Or defenders who tackle a receiver three seconds before the ball gets there, then stand up and wave their hands that the pass was incomplete. This is stupid, its part of sports.
