    Re: Derek Jeter Faked It!!!

    If Jeter's okay with getting a HBP call when the ball actually hits the bat, he should have no problem with being called out at 3rd base on a phantom tag because the ball beat him. Just go along with the ump's decision.

        I really don't see what the big deal is.

        My wife fakes it all the time, and she's NOT a World Champion shortstop headed for the Hall of Fame.

                Cal Ripken talked about this play on his weekly XM radio show today and said that the whole scenerio bothered him, although he admiited he wasn't really sure why. He said that if the same thing had happened to him, he would have run it out, stood at first and let everyone else figure it out.

                    Those who are complaining about Jeter not staying in and trying to get an extra base hit are forgetting that when the ball hit his bat it landed in front of the plate in fair territory. So it would have been a fair ball and if he had not been ruled to have been hit by a pitch the catcher would have picked it up and have thrown him out by a mile. I don't know if what he did is any different than an outfielder making it appear he caught a ball that he in fact caught on the bounce. That happens all the tiem too.It is somethng I feel negative about, but it happens all the time.
