First things first, I'll give my thoughts eventually. But to Tampa Bay Rays fans, here is what your own manager said after the game about it
“If our guys had did it, I would have applauded that. It’s a great performance on his part,” the Tampa Bay manager said. “Several players are very good at that. And again, I’m not denigrating it. If our guy does it, I’m very happy with that if we end up getting the call. … Fortunately it didn’t cost us.”
I'm a Yankee fan, and first things first I am going to say what Jeter did wasn't exactly right, however I will also say he did not do anything wrong. As Jeter and Maddon both mentioned, it's part of the game. Next thing I will say is that the main thing, as Maddon said, it did not cost the Rays the game. After seeing the play, I was hoping the Yankees would win by a ton of runs so the 1 run wouldn't make the difference, or if not, just letting the Rays win lol
In basketball I've seen many players fake fouls, especially Reggie Miller. From what I have heard in soccer, I've heard many people fake injuries or pretend they are in more pain than what is really shown.
I think the main thing that has to be learned from this is that instant replay must be added. There is absolutely no way these type of actions should be allowed in the postseason. I tihnk this season has been the Year of 2 things. The Year of Pitching, and The Year of Bad Umpiring.
I was shocked to see Derek Jeter of all players do it. I didn't really lost rspect for him, especially when you can say the oppoising manager of a division rival gives him credit for what he did
Your thoughts on it all? Personally I don't think "cheating" is the right term for what he did, but maybe more of "unsportsmanlike"
