if Jeter would've just taken the base, I wouldn't care. the fact that he faked injury was a bitch move IMO.
But do you think it's ok when a baseball outfielder traps a ball and comes up and shows his glove and acts like he caught it?
If not, what's the difference?
He could just come up off the ground NOT acting like he caught it and showing his glove to the umps.

Anybody that says they lost respect for Jeter is just a dumbass.

I'll be the nice guy and not say a-hole, but it certainly makes zero sense to me and is seemingly VERY hypocritical of them.

uhh there's a huge difference here...a player catching the ball is trying to pull off the acting job...whereas jeter was being a bitch like he was hurt AFTER the fact the ump called it a hbp...no need for it

Your 1st and 2nd statement make no sense at all.
Derek Jeter is trying to pull off an acting job, that I thought was obvious.
That'd make it exactly the opposite of "a huge difference."

have u even watched the youtube?
there was no need to pull off any acting job...the umpire called it a HPB literally 2 seconds after the ball was pitched..yet jeter still felt the need to put his hands on his knees, have the trainer come out, etc.
eta: i don't see why this is so hard to understand...i guess to simplify it for you...jeter didn't have to act because the umpire had already made the call vs an OF has to act so the umpire will make the call...plus sometimes in the OF you really don't know if you catch it on a play when you're running full speed and completely layout

It's not like Jeter planned this shite out ahead of time. He probably thought it was going to hit him and was surprised when it didn't, so he just milked it to get the base if the ump was going to give it to him. He said in an interview he wasn't going to turn it down if they gave it to him. Nothing wrong with that.

Why is that? I don't by the way. I just don't care either way.

No there is nothing wrong with that. There is something wrong with acting like your injured when the ball never touched you. It's like in soccer, I don't like diving but to get the call I can at least understand it. The rolling around on the ground in extreme agony is what is so pathetic. Again, if Jeter had just started going to first base I wouldn't like it but wouldn't really have a big issue with it. Faking injury is pathetic and he should be above that though. I hope the Rays drill him in the rib cage the next chance they get.

It looked like the ball did hit Jeter it was just after it glanced off of the knob on the bottom of the bat.
I have no problem with what Jeter did.

It didn't hit him and he admitted it.

I didn't have a problem with what Jeter did. I wouldn't call it cheating, but it's something expanded replay might have prevented. He admitted what he did, so he's likely going to be expanded strike zones for the rest of the season.

Wasn't there some douche from Ark that did this a couple of years ago and he got suspended for a game or two? That guy got KILLED for it and now people are defending Jeter? 
Posted on 9/17/10 at 11:27 am to AUTigLN11
The ark guy got slammed because he then proceeded to bitch about not getting the call and then bitching even more after the next pifch - enough to get tossed and leave throwing a temper tantrum about such an obviously right call. Jeter also didn't sprint down to 1st base laughing when he didn't even hit the call. 2 different situations
The ball also came nowhere near hitting him. Jeters was at least believable.

I'll bite. the difference is that no one is objecting to Jeter pretending he got hit. People are objecting to him calling out the training and acting like he was in serious pain. This is flopping to the nth degree. He went beyond just trying to get the call because, as many have pointed out, he got the call quickly, but then he proceeded to milk it.
This is more akin to a player faking an injury to get the clock stopped in football. And, as I said, my opinion of Jeter is unchanged by this play... I don't care. But to argue this is the same as trying to fool an ump on a tag or a trapped ball is simply not true. this went beyond that.

I wasn't going to open this thread because it's more than 1 page and I'm sure it's people bitching and moaning and calling the guy a cheat.
I hate the Yankees as much as the next guy.....
but this is the only answer and it was the second post in this thread....
Again, I didn't read through this thread, but if anyone that's bitching about this and has played baseball and you don't like what happened, then you're just speaking with hatred of the Yankees/Jeter.
It's baseball. Just like Jeter said...."you do what you can to get on base." I loved his reaction after this chick reporter asked him.."and??"
"Huh?" Like.....what the frick do you mean "and?" I got on base. It doesn't matter. It's the umpires problem that he bought it.

You guys are amazing. The response should be if you have ever played sports you should have a big problem with what he did. If that's true then even more reason to dislike baseball. Also Promine, correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you one of the ones who rip soccer because of the diving?
