YFSF wonders if Alex Rodriguez will start getting the Barry Bonds treatment.

It’s actually amazing that they’re still pitching to him. So why are they pitching to him? I’m thinking he doesn’t see another pitch to hit for a while. That means Hideki and Jorge have to make them pay.

They pitch to him because the Yankees lineup behind him is pretty potent. This isn’t the Giants, with Bonds and a bunch of nobodies. Teams need to make an effort to get an out with A-Rod at the plate, otherwise they’re just playing to the Yankees OBP strength.
