Ture, one of his hits was just an infield single. But, on the other hand, one of his outs was the Greatest Catch Ever by Torii Hunter at the wall.
"Rodriguez started slowly in the first inning, unable to pick up a slow roller bare-handed before getting, then in the Yankee half was thrown out at third running on a 3-and-2 pitch for the third out."
You watched the game yourself. We all did. You know that ARod had no chance on the ground ball in the first inning, it was just an infield hit. You also know that he was thrown out on a hit-and-run, not even a straight steal.
Seems obvious to me that Jim Baumbach was going to write this story no matter what occurred in the game: "After missing the slow roller in the first, he almost threw one away. Couple that with getting thrown out at third, and it seemed as if the atmosphere was getting the best of him."
