A-Rod’s taken a lot of flack for his postseason performance; he’s been called a choker for a lot of years, and for barely cogent reasons. I think we can put a stop to that now: A-Rod just hit his fifth home run of the 2009 postseason, a bomb that gave the Yankees a 4-0 lead in the top of the fifth inning. Alongside those two ninth-inning home runs, A-Rod is putting up numbers above and beyond his usual regular season production. And what’s funny is that A-Rod’s postseason numbers before 2009 weren’t all that bad, either.
In other words, we can stop talking about this, right? We can just admit Alex Rodriguez has always been good at baseball? Cool? Cool.
