Okay today, while working and listening to Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN, the conversation was directed toward Derek Jeter who cheated? deceived? or did his job in regards to being hit by a pitch in the game last night.
He wasn't actually hit by the pitch, it hit the bat.
Now, seeing the instant replay and knowing that Jeter was not hit he did look a little ridiculous when he danced around, and held his wrist like he was hurt. Yes the trainor came out to make sure he was okay, and Jeter had a smirk on his face as he stood on first base.
The next batter hit a home run compounding the issue.
Stinky, a former professional lineman in the NFL, said it's Jeter's job to get on base
"By Hook or By Crook"
Do you agree?
Is this okay in YOUR business?
Is this where we are in our country today?
Is "by hook or by crook" a normal course of business type of thing.
If so, is that a problem?
Both Stinky and Mike Golic openingly laughed at the option of Jeter looking at the ump and saying "it didn't hit me, it hit the bat." Let me point out golfers call penalties on themselves
All the time
and very often with very costly consequences.
To me, for what it's worth, by hook or by crook has become too acceptable in our industry, and we're having difficulty changing that.
So, what about you?
Are you okay with this?
