Alex Rodriguez cannot hit during the day.
Now, granted, the Yankees haven’t played a lot of games during the day up to this point in the season – only 5 games – but in the afternoon games in which they have played, and in the afternoon games he has played in, he has been awful. In yesterday’s 3-2 loss to the Rays, Rodriguez was 0-6 with four strikeouts and from where I was sitting, way the heck up in the upper deck between third and the left field foul pole, it looked like he couldn’t pick up any pitches.
