knightni Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 http://cbs.sportsline.com/mlb/teams/report/NYY/9657228 --SS Derek Jeter walked three times and was hit by a pitch. Under MLB rules, his 21-game hit streak remained intact. Seems shady to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His streak continues because he didn't get an official plate appearance. MLB doesn't want someone to lose a hit streak because they didn't get a chance to extend it.

knightni Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 The rule itself seems shady. Why should it matter? Unless they were intentional walks, he had pitches to swing at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should he be penalized for trying to help his team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuck the Cubs Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 That's bulls*** that it should end. The rule states if he has no offical AB, and no sac fly, the streak goes on. If he has a sac fly, and no offical AB, the streak is over. Jeter had no offical AB, no sac fly, the streak should stay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB doesn't want someone to lose a hit streak because they didn't get a chance to extend it. To be technical, he didn't have an official at bat. He had 4 plate appearances. Qwerty and I were talking about this last night. I didn't think the streak should continue, because he played a game, and didn't get a hit...but the rule is what it is, and I understand it. With no ABs, it doesn't count against you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting streak means hits in consecutive games played, which now he hasnt done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuck the Cubs Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 The rulebook states that if you have no offical AB's and no sac fly, the streak stays. If you have a sac fly, and no offical AB's, the streak is over. I don't see the fuss over this. Honestly, what would you say if it was a White Sox player in this position??

Apparently, you can't read either. I said I understand it, and I have no problem with it at all. I simply stated I think the streak should end. He played a game, and it is a 22-GAME hitting streak. If it is a Sox player that did it, I would say the same exact thing. I really don't care either way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I do agree with it but if someone is going to beat DiMaggio I'd like it to be in 57 straight games. Not 59 games and having no official at bat in 2 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
