What did Alex Rodriguez hope to gain by tipping pitches?

0

Alex Rodriguez has been the target of an insane amount of criticism ever since allegations of steroid use. I hope for his sake that he’s ready for even more, because the latest tidbit involves something far more severe than steroids. It’s to the point that no one really cares that he did steroids anymore. It’s much safer to just assume that everyone has taken them, since that seems to be the way it has been going lately. However, A-Rod may have been involved in something much worse, if the reports in Selena Roberts’ book are true. In one shocking disclosure, the book accuses A-Rod of “pitch tipping” when he was with the Rangers – letting a friendly opponent at the plate know which pitch was coming in lopsided games. Rodriguez expected players he helped would do the same for him when he was having an off night and needed to get his batting average up and it wouldn’t affect the outcome of the game. If this is true, there could actually be some very serious trouble for him and anyone else

According to the report, the book also accuses Rodriguez of tipping pitches to opponents during blowouts and that he expected those players to reciprocate when he needed a hit and it would not affect the outcome of games. Sources: http://www.newsday.com/iphone/ny-sparod0112719697apr30,0,5735889.
