Rodriguez: “There’s just more explosion that I feel”
Kevin Long said there were times these past two years when he could tell Alex Rodriguez didn’t have it. The one-time Best Player in the Game would show up in the cage, and Long could tell there was something missing.
“You could tell when he didn’t have life to his body, or there was no energy to what he was doing,” Long said. “It wasn’t that he wasn’t trying to work the right way, but he’s definitely got a lot of life now when he’s working. It’s explosive.”
Rodriguez said his big spring numbers — .404 average with six homers and 14 RBI — are simply a product of what’s happening “behind the curtain.” He’s no longer going through any sort of rehab work, and with a full training schedule, his surgically repaired hip feels more fluid and flexible. That work in the cage is carrying onto the field, and as Long said, Rodriguez might be the most season-ready player on the roster.
“It’s really hard to gauge with four swings in a night (during a game),” Rodriguez said. “But I think when you have the sessions that Kevin Long and I have – maybe 30, 40, 50 swings – I think you have a better idea of how you feel, and that’s been much better. More consistency through my swing. More flexibility. I think there’s just more explosion that I feel, and that I think he sees.”
Rodriguez said he wants to play 150-plus games this season, and Joe Girardi said that’s not out of the question. With Eric Chavez looking like a productive hitter again, it’s possible that Chavez could get occasional starts at third to give Rodriguez a few more DH days. More DH days might keep Rodriguez this fresh and healthy, and if Rodriguez is this fresh and healthy, there’s no telling how good he could be.
At 35 years old, is it possible he could return to that 2007 form?
“I slept good every night that year,” Rodriguez said. “Those are years that you look up and you’re like, ‘Holy (cow) – that’s not normal.’ It’s one of those years that you’re so flattered by and very happy about, but to use that as a barometer, that would be tough. I don’t want to set myself for failure, that’s for sure. I think overall, what I’m doing now, I’m enjoying the game and I think I’m going to help the team win this year.”
Here’s Long speaking briefly about Rodriguez’s cage work.

Really good stuff on ARod. I expect him to have a monster year.
Just a reminder that MLB TV channel is running its 30 clubs in 30 days show featuring the NYY in 10 minutes.
Trader …..thanks. I had forgotten.
I remember when Pete was here and I would have to defend my boy Alex to no end.
So happy I don’t have to do that anymore
Arod season total over/unders at my book are:
.282 BA
31.5 HR
120.5 RBI
Poor LGY. A little typo and he’s started a rumor
*****
Sharks around here. Can’t slip up at all
Explosion – A-Rod. That has a good feel to it.
Nick in SF……Over, Over, & Over
Alex has at least 35 in him this year.
Take the overs!
“It’s really hard to gauge with four swings in a night (during a game),” Rodriguez said.
I think he meant four at-bats during a game.
thanks, trader.
FWIW, it sounds to me like Alex is mentally, if not physically, prepared to rake. And sometimes, the mental part of the game is so important.
Nick,
If he stays healthy….over on all 3
I like all the overs too, the Spring Training/K-Long kool-aid is powerful!
I also like the Yanks at +115 in the head-to-head vs. Boston. I will give some other Yankee prop lines in a moment.
Pat M. March 27th, 2011 at 7:34 pm
Nick in San Francisco…….Ten Hail Marys for me…Sorry about the Garden State thing…..And yeah, The Clam Broth House is quite the place……..
———————-
seeing the name of The Clam Broth House brings back long lost memories-I went to college in Hoboken in the ’60s when it was still mostly a slum and the Broth House and Schaeffer’s Restaurant (around the corner across from the Tube Station) were the only places you could eat without potentially being poisoned. Schaeffer’s had a special deal for students, a filet mignon dinner for either $3 or $4 (I kid you not).
Does the Broth House still have sawdust on the floor of the bar? Oh, the stories that dust could tell…
I think Alex could hit 40-50 homers again…..he just needs 150 healthy games.
blake Sorry about UNC.
Behold,
Eh its ok. They are young….hopefully everyone comes back.
I think Alex is gonna have his best season as a Yankee this year. 2 years removed from the hip, fully healthy, way past the scandal that used to plague him. He’s gonna be a monster! A centaur, if you will!
The original Clam Broth house was torn down. It was ‘reopened’ in 2010.
WCYF,
Derek even made a point about Alex in the interview and how prepared Alex is and how hard he works.
**********************
Joe,
Agree with you about the mental issue. Think that was part of AJs problem last season.
blake I dont ever remember seeing you mention him, but Zeller is a beast. Better than any big man Duke has had in recent memory, on the offensive end. Great touch, got size, can play defense, move his feet, and rebound. He’s no Shelden Williams defensively, but he’s an all-around player. If their guys stay next year, they will probably be a 1 seed in the tourney, barring injury.
Jeter:
.283 BA

Will Andy Pettitte throw a pitch for the NYY:
Yes +15o
No -200
Will Derek Jeter get engaged to Minka Kelly in 2011?
Yes +150
No -200
What will DJ’s 3000th hit be?
single -200
double +250
triple +1200
HR +700
Yea Zeller is really good….its a shame injuries have robbed him of most of his career. He could dominate as a senior next year. Such a plus to have a big that can run the floor and shoot free throws. Duke is going to be very good next year as well….especially if Irving stays…..they have Doc Rivers kid coming who is the #1 recruit in the country on a lot of lists.
What about the hot dog place ” Rut’s Hut ” ???? Great dogs
Over on Jeter’s BA, Granderson’s homers, CC’s wins, AJ and Hughes win totals.
Andy isn’t playing, Jeter will get engauged, ……and 3,000 will be a single in the 34 hole.
Jeter over, under, over
MG – safe to assume you’re a Stevens grad? Class of ’79 myself.
A-Rod tends to have his best seasons (at least as a Yankee) in odd numbered years.
So NY doesn’t play Tampa until mid may and then not again until july, we are going to be seeing a lot of them at the end of the season.
Rutt’s is alive and well. It’s even got it’s own wiki-page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutt's_Hut
Great dogs.
Pat M, I gave up meat for Lent, thanks for reminding me about Rutt’s. I now know where I’ll be on the Monday after easter….
Arod is gonna show Agon who is still boss in the AL east.
Fran -
I was just thinking about something. We lock into our lineups once a week. what if a player goes on the DL mid-week? Do we have to wait to the end of the week to make changes?
***
Bob Hurley segment was great.
I like AJ Over and Mariano Under with the presence of Soriano, another closer. Girardi will be more comfortable letting Soriano finish a game every now and then to give Mariano breaks.
I really like Zeller. Very good player.
NJ Pete March 27th, 2011 at 8:16 pm

————————————-
Pete, graduated from Stevens in the mid to late ’60s, the school has really changed since my time there where half the freshman class flunked out in the 1st semester.
Doreen,
Yes, once the line-ups lock for the week there are no changes.
Ha!
the reason we went to the Clam Broth House was because we had a friend who went to Stevens and we met her and some other friends there! Was around ’80.

Rutt’s Hutt sounds much better than our usual late night take out place, Gina’s Pizza, we called their pies, ‘grease on yeast’. Hoboken, of course, is the home of the first Blimpie Base…
Thanks Fran.
“What will DJ’s 3000th hit be?”
A bunt single. j/k
A classic Jeterian single to RF through the hole between 1B and 2B.
Fran,
When do they lock in today or before opening day?
“Arod is gonna show Agon who is still boss in the AL east.”
So will Teix.
Under Swish
Over Posada
Over Grandy
SAS,
For this first week of the season, the line-ups lock Thursday, right before the Yankee game.
After that, the line-ups will lock every Monday, starting 4/11, prior to the first game played that day.
How was your outing today?
I just came back from one of the truly gorgeous drives, a good part on dirt road. I feel like MTU only we were in the car. It is called the Apache Trail. Anyone who is out this way should see it.
AJ, Hughes, Mo all over
I’d rather put a little down on a Jeterian double into the gap and perhaps a tiny bit on a Jeterian shot over the short porch.
Nick,
what book do you use?
The over/under line on A-Gone’s homer total is 92.5.
“Bob Hurley segment was great.”
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bad Hurley segment. I find him inspirational.
“The over/under line on A-Gone’s homer total is 92.5.
”
over no question….have you not seen the superimposed Fenway over Petco?
LGY Why Mo Over?
Mostly bodog, but I also look at a few others. I should do more with pinnacle and w s e x, their lines are sharper. But I’m lazy.
half the freshman class flunked out in the 1st semester
—————————————————
it was down to about 30% when i went. tuition is so high they have to hang on to students as long as they can. lots of new construction but i haven’t been back in a few years. hoping my youngest has some desire to apply.
LGY Why Mo Over?
*****
Never bet against The Mo.
Actually think Sori will increase his saves, not decrease.
Nick, I mostly use bodog as well.
I didn’t notice the player bets… that’s where I am headed now
time to make a tidy bet on the over for Alex HR

I had dinner with Hal Raveche and some other alums in San Fransisco in the early 90s and was really surprised (and pleased) to find out that the graduation rate was up to about 90%-as you say they can’t afford to lose students so actually have to work at keeping everyone doing well-in my day the administration and faculty could have cared less what you did…
Sox pitcher win totals:
Lester 17.5
Beckett 12.5
Lackey 13
Bucholz 16
Daisuke ERA 4.50
is anyone watching the MLBN special on the yankees? Not sure if derek knew he was on tape but he just busted Girardi about his high pants. Hilarious.
BD, they’re under the MLB Player Props. Team props have the win totals and some team head-to-head meatchups.
Nick, what’s the line on number of trips to In ‘n Out in Daly City during the season?
AGone is actually at a reasonable 36HR and 115RBI over/under
Nick – found em. I just haven’t even looked at anything MLB yet (except my Milwaukee to win it all bet $10 at 50/1 the moment they traded for Marcum after already getting Greinke)
I just took Alex over HR and Robbie over RBI. I’ll find one more
For massive coronary reasons, I am not doing the full In-N-Out tribute this season. I expect big things out of Young Master Philip.
Waching the Yanks on MLBN now. Like what Girardi was telling Gardner and Granderson about steals. He’s absolutely right, don’t know why he couldn’t get him going more last year.
Does anyone fear ( like me ) that Jones may not be so good at bat ? Just have a feeling he isn’t gonna hit that well.
Grienke 12.5 win??? Seems low.
Seems low, but Greinke is our to start the season.
But the prop is no action if he doesn’t make 25 starts, as with all other starting pitcher props.
Is “out” not “our”.
Watching MLB, 30 clubs on the Yanks. Girardi telling Gardner “you should steal 70 bags, you’re so quick it’s ridiculous.”
No room for Grienke in your PBC?????
I was hoping Gallardo would be equally low but he isn’t.
I just took Halladay to win Cy Young 4-1. He may not win but 4-1 isn’t terrible and I needed a 3rd
Pay attention. He’s “out”.
BD, you can get a basket of any of the Big Four to win the Cy Young at +140.
They should’ve thrown in Blanton for free.
More wins? Hughes or Nova?
I saw “out”, that’s why I said “No room for Grienke in your PBC?????”
‘our’ = room
‘out’ = no room
Poor Grienke.
Just a bit of a fun read for those that think you’re hot and special.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/42251744/
yeah, i still think it’s Roy, Tim, or maybe Ubaldo. I suppose Cliff and Josh but we’ll see.
I didn’t put much on that one. My big(ger) bets are Al and Robbie.
Hughes is at 14.5.
I’d guess Nova would be at 9.5 or 10?
though the 25 start restriction could keep that one from seeing action (I hope not but still…)
Your PB must be different from my PB. I was trying to make a joke. Never mind!
Sorry I meant prediction, not prop bet!
it should be more like AJ vs Nova for wins.
Hughes should be a clear favorite to better Nova in wins. We don’t know if Nova can go deeper into games yet… which is a big part of winning games.
PBC = Pretend Blog Cradle.
Sorry for the confusion.
BD,
Great comment. He had a rough time around the 5th inning.
though – I guess if Nova can go 6 and hand it off to Joba, Rafael, and Mo with a lead…. his chances are good!!
What I find most interesting is how the gap between the Sox and The Yanks is narrowing from where it was at Christmas….Back then BA had the BoSox at 97 and the Yanks at 90, now its 94 to 92……
Pat M,
Maybe because Boston’s rotation hasn’t had a great spring?
Final Jeopardy Question:
With the final Jeopardy category “IT’S DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN”, here is our final Jeopardy answer:
“Destination hell, the number is ten.” Again, “Destination hell, the number is ten.
You have thirty seconds to write down your final Jeopardy question.
Good luck contestants.
Boston win total over/under hanging tough at 95.5.
I should’ve gotten some unders when it was at 96.5.
that is interesting Pat M.
a 7 game gap seems ridiculous…. though I suppose the Yanks only had 3 starters and one of them was one of the weaker starters in the league last season.
Honestly, I think it should probably be about 94 and 94. Gonna be a good season.
Pat M. – you know a lot more baseball than I do, but I find the Red Sox at even 94 wins a bit optimistic.
Reality potion? Who used to come on here with their reality comment all the time?
what is Oakland’s over/under?
Any date projection for Jeters #3000 Nick?
“Pat M. – you know a lot more baseball than I do, but I find the Red Sox at even 94 wins a bit optimistic.”
Moi aussi!
I think the Yankees and Sox are both 95 or so win teams and whoever has less injuries will win the division…..
Watching MLB, 30 clubs on the Yanks. Girardi telling Gardner “you should steal 70 bags, you’re so quick it’s ridiculous.”
=================
Not a mention of Arod on 30-30.
Oakland – 83.5 wins.
tough one. I think they’ll improve in a weaker AL West, but still tough.
A’s are at 83.5.
No date prop for #3,000 at bodog.

Yankees over/under at 91.5.
I’d go over on the As….
I’m thinking #3000 comes in JUne 24-30 either Col. or Mil @ home.

I think Francesa still has the Sox in the high 90′s but he also still thinks Nate Mclouth is a star
I think both the Yanks and Sox will win 95+
Trisha – go ahead, show off your French….
mick – I don’t think anyone on the Yanks minds Alex being overlooked. That should change soon after the season starts….
I didn’t watch the MLB show and don’t intend do given how I already know how they feel about the relative merits of the Sox and Yanks…………and they’ve already trashed the Yankees during the off-season.
Alex is healthy, period – I’m looking forward to seeing him shut his critics up
Yanks have homestand June 7-16 with Bos,Cleve and Tex…..#3000 would be nice around then about 60-70 games in.
I just took Yanks and Oakland overs, Alex over HR, Robbie over RBI, Jeter singles in #3000, Halladay Cy Young, Adam Jones over HR (this one signaled it was time for me to stop), and a few others… I am done.
mick – I don’t think anyone on the Yanks minds Alex being overlooked. That should change soon after the season starts….

I thought the 30 clubs in 30 days was a sneak peek into different teams Spring Trainings, showing player interviews and stuff. I didnt think it was a critique of each team.
You can say you’re done now, but those props will be waiting until first pitch on Thursday.
A gamblers work is never done.
Pat M-
If you are around.. our girl still has it.
She was amazing last night!!!! Stevie seemed so genuinely happy to be playing the Garden again. She was adorible. It felt a little strange to be seeing her perform “first” but, she didn’t disappoint.
She played for an hour and a half. The new single was well received. She came back out again with Rod Stewart and they performed “Passion” and “Young Turks”
Ooooh, I like this prop:
Over/under on age of Tabata’s next wife on wedding day: 48.5
(come back, Brandon!)
They should save some of those losses for the regular season.
It’s good to see by the above photo that our manager is too smart to fall for the old “pull my finger” joke. I now have more faith in him, no matter what Normy says.
Would like to be at that Jeter game, that’s my extent of betting on the Yankees.
“Trisha – go ahead, show off your French….

Mais oui, monsieur.
C’est bien dommage que le Sux sont mort. Je pense que 89 est tres généreux!

Freakin’ awesome LI. I’m tempted to say 87, not knowing if even that is being too généreux!
“Sez who?”
Perfect.
If you want to go 89.5 on the Sox, Trisha, I will take the over and be happy to send you chocolate if you’re the winner.
GB
The comments about Reynolds drafting Derek were funny too.
I’ll take over 89.5 too. Either the Sox stink and I’m ecstatic, or the Sox win 90+ and I get chocolate.
Nick – done. I would have gone even lower, by the way, but 89.5 works for me.
BD, I don’t remember offering you a bet. Find your own action!
I wanted to try you on the 87 but 89.5 is more than fair.
Same stakes as our Orioles bet.
And if we split the two bets, no push, let’s still exchange the chocolate. If you’re right on one of these, you deserve to get some Scharffenberger.
Can’t wait for the games to begin!
Ok ok – I’m more than happy not betting on the Sawx to win anyway!
WE INTERRUPT THIS REGULARLY SCHEDULED BROADCAST TO INFORM YOU THAT THE SUX TOOK THE PIPE FOR THE TENTH GAME IN A ROW, CAUSING EVEN THE MOST CAVALIER ABOUT THE RESULTS OF SPRING TRAINING TO CONSULT FIRST THEIR PSYCHICS AND THEN THEIR BOOKIES.

The comments about Reynolds drafting Derek were funny too.
———————————————————————————————————————
pat, that may have been the best show they have ever done. Some of the remarks must have come from here.
It does give me an uneasy feeling, but I’ll be taking the under 95.5 wins for them on bodog, so now I have a tasty 5-game middle and if they go below 90, I will not be complaining.
And I’ll take the Yanks on the head-to-head prop, just on principle (and I like the +115 too).
Nick, unless Beckett, Lackey, and Matsuzaka have a miraculous transformation, I don’t think that the under on 95.5 is unrealistic.
For those that didn’t see this Player Draft show between Bowa, Ripken, Lieter, Reynolds, Williams and Plesec is a must see. Catch the replay. OR ELSE.
“And I’ll take the Yanks on the head-to-head prop, just on principle (and I like the +115 too).”
I think that’s safe also.
What does +115 mean?
Nick, once I open up shop on the Yanks 2011 Prediction Chart, I’m thinking of 102 or 103.
I hope they all pitch to their crappy potential and the Sox go 81-81 (they will still score a few runs).
“Catch the replay. OR ELSE.”
I will catch the replay!
I missed it Gb but I’ll be looking for the replay
+115 means that if you risk $100, you win $115.
‘night all.
Take the Burnett and Posada overs.
Still can’t believe I lost trishas prediction chart last year
I saw the show. It was very funny. Wasn’t expecting that.
************************
Trisha,
Put me down for 96 wins.
A-rod looks pretty ripped
LGY: I’m taking all the overs. All those players will have monster years and we’ll win 109 games.
Oh wait… Gustavo Molina… snap… never mind.
“I hope they all pitch to their crappy potential and the Sox go 81-81 (they will still score a few runs).”
Just reading that makes me feel the way Guinevere did after hearing the promises of Sirs Lionel, Sagramore and Dinadan.
(sigh)
Bojo
If you’re around, I know you wanted me to report on the thunderbolt.
In scientific terms, it’s awesome. On Verizon, 3g is to 4g what Posada is to Gardner.
GB
It was a glimpse at clubhouse interaction only it was G rated.
GB7 –
A quelle heur?
“+115 means that if you risk $100, you win $115.”
Then what would +100 mean (is there such a thing?) +95?
“A quelle heur?”
To keep up with the French theme – nouveau post
Good call Nick.
Imposter Molina is a cancer. He will steal other identities and his imposter DNA will drag down more innocent Yankees.
+100 means even money, so it would be referred to as (even) next to a wager.
There is no +95, anything less than even money would be shown with a minus.
Most bets are minus, such as -110 on both sides of a wager. Which means you have to stake $110 to win $100. The $10 is the juice, that’s how the sportsbook makes sure they make money regardless of the outcome of a game. If they’re setting their lines right (and the lines move if they aren’t) they get equal action on both sides so the juice is their profit.
“To keep up with the French theme – nouveau post ”
Actually, most baseball bets are NOT minus, because there is no point spread on straight-up bets to make them equitable.
So a typical Yankee bet will have the Yanks at some ridiculous number like -200 (bet $200 to win $100) so as to attract equal money on the other side.
Most bets are -110 if the odds are determined to be about 50/50. That’s where the gambling website or host akes their money. So on a coin flip, you’d risk $110 to win $100.
Anytime you get +105 or better, it’s great (and generally means you’re taking the less popular side of a bet.
I got in late – ignore me and read Nick.
Doreen, not sure about the time, but, I would think about midnight. I’ll check the schedule
