I would not have said that he was the a dumb baseball player at this moment no, but if someone would ask me between games without homers or GIDP to affect ones judgement I would say he has the lowest baseball IQ on our team outside of Cano, yes.
Either way, it's the most ridiculous statement I've heard.

keeps? jeter probably put up the best at-bats of the team last night.. all five were deep counts, 2 hits, 3 hard hit balls, and a walk.
I think jeter is hitting well above .350 when he swings at the first pitch anyway.. just sometimes it's ill-advised
He's batting .296 - but his sOPS+ is 65

Lets call it for what it is, Jeterīs approach has been dumb, simple as that.
How has it? He has always been cautiously aggressive. If he sees a pitch he likes, he will swing...That approach is probably going to get him 3500+ hits.

You are right, but that has not stopped me before;)
To be fair to Jeter, after a pitcher walks someone, there's a pretty good chance he'll be trying to throw a first pitch strike to the next batter, so he sees some pretty good pitches in that situation. And he's probably right to swing if he thinks it's a pitch he can hit. It is just so frustrating when (as in this case) he not only doesn't get a hit but he makes an out and erases the base on balls at the same time!

Thats all.
But all the evidence points to exactly the opposite of what you're saying.
Jeter is maybe the best in baseball at situational hitting. How many times does he hit the ball to RF in perfect fashion to move a runner from first to third?
How many times does he seem to do whatever the team needs to win, whether it be a bunt, a stolen base, the hit and run, or the HR?
Finally, just look at his overall baseball instincts such as the backhanded flip to nail Jeremy Giambi at the plate.
Jeter is one of the smartest players in baseball. Just b/c he hit into a DP while the Yankees are on a 3 game losing streak doesn't mean he has a low baseball IQ. Jeter has always been a free swinger and it has worked out great for him and the team. Every once in awhile, it won't won't out like in the 1st inning.

Thats because his hitting abilities allows him to do so.
How many times does he seem to do whatever the team needs to win, whether it be a bunt, a stolen base, the hit and run, or the HR?
How many times does he bunt when there is absoloutely no need for it and also hitting homeruns and such has nothing to do with baseball smarts but with talent.
Finally, just look at his overall baseball instincts such as the backhanded flip to nail Jeremy Giambi at the plate.

Although Jeter frustrates me at times with his first pitch swinging and his bunting.....to say he isnt a smart player is off base IMO.

RIYankee23

Come on! It's because he's smart enough to go with the pitch, to take it the opposite way instead of trying to pull the pitch like so many others with lesser IQ's do.
Like TZ said, in most cases the pitcher will often try to throw a first pitch strike to the next batter after walking the previous guy. Jeter was well aware of this since he IS one of the smartest players in baseball.
Honestly, I think you kind of have it in for Jeter since you like Arod better. When people get frustrated when the team is playing poorly, these kind of things come out.
I'll admit that Jeter is my favorite player, but to say that he has the lowest baseball IQ on the team outside of Cano is definately not smart at all.
