Postgame notes: “Nothing ever really surprises you” Alex Rodriguez said several times this season that his low power numbers did not bother him. As at-bat after at-bat passed without career home run No. 600, Rodriguez remained one of the top RBI men in baseball, and that seemed more than enough to satisfy him. Tonight, Rodriguez admitted feeling some frustration. “I haven’t really hit for any power this year, so it’s been frustrating,” he said. “Being stuck at 599 was really a microcosm of what’s been going on all year. I’ve been able to drive in runs and hit some doubles here and there, but overall I’ve hit for no power.” This has been his worst season since 1995, but tonight was a reminder of how dangerous and productive he remains. Rodriguez now leads the major leagues in RBI, and he’s nine away from his 13th consecutive 30-home-run season. With three more RBI, he’ll be the first player in baseball history to drive in 100 runs in 14 different seasons. “He’s been such a great talent for a long time, nothing ever really surprising you,” Girardi said. “I don’t think he’s been pressing, because I think if he were pressing he wouldn’t have the RBIs… I think he’s not trying to do too much with runners in scoring position. He’s not trying to hit home runs. He’s just saying, I’m going to have a good at-bat and drive in the run.” Rodriguez said he made some minor adjustments with Kevin Long this week, working to clear his hips a little more. He estimated that he’d been clearing only 70 percent, but Long worked to get him closer to 100. Whatever the cause, the result was obvious. “It was nice to carry the team for one night,” Rodriguez said. “These guys have done a lot of carrying me all year.” Here’s A-Rod.
