Analysis: Man, I never thought I would have to write this many 600 Tracker posts. Seems like A-Rod has been stuck at 599 for way longer than the week and 20-odd at-bats he's been there. Carmona has struck Rodriguez out five times in eight career at-bats, eight in 11 career at-bats if you include Carmona's start in the 2007 ALDS. That does not bode well for Rodriguez. Neither does the fact he hasn't registered a hit off the Indians' bullpen yet this series.
