When will Jeter get to 3000?

[Jersey Yankee]

26 hits after about 5 weeks, 48 to go. I'd say either the end of June or the beginning of July. Of course, that amounts to a whole 70-80 hits a year, far down from 200 or so hits a year.

[VinnyTheMick]

Next season.

[Louisville Slugger]

I hope June 11 because I'll be at that game,

[OhioYankee]

I hope some of his hits make it to the outfield before he gets 3000 hits. I really wish he would only have a one year contract with options.

[Sam18]

Hopefully with another team.

[Sixty one]

Middle of July .

[mr.roy]

Hopefully with another team.

Double ouch.

[HerbieLee20]

Derek isn't gonna let Mo get his 31 first, is he?

Spontaneous hunch, June 16th, day game vs. the Strangers.
Then he totally finds his groove with it out of the way, & smooth sailing from there.

[Kentucky Bomber]

Suddenly he's the only one who is hitting. Middle June homestand is looking better.

40 hits in 40 games would take until JUNE 21 IN CINCY, plus or minus 5 games has about am 80% chance plus or minus 10 games about a 95% as long as the injury bug comes around

He's continued at a pace of 1 hit per game, a robust .208 average, despite some better games (5 hits in last 3 games). Still on pace for Cincy, although a big game or two would move it up. Still would need to really step it up, or fall back, to not get it in Wrigley or Cincy.

Actually, he has picked it up a bit. So far in May, he has 21 hits in 17 games played. That's 1.235 hits per game, up from the 1.000 in April (23 hits, 23 games played). If he continues at his May pace he will need 24.3 games played to reach the milestone, which would be June 15 (24th game) or 16 (25th game) in Texas if he plays in all scheduled games.

Those are big IFs though and you're probably right ... CIN or CHC.

pretty sure you meant vs Texas but im hoping for CIN since ill be there for that series

Considering how aware the Yankees are of this milestone (leaving him leading off to get him more at bats for example) I can't imagine they let him get this record on the road.

Considering the Yankees want to win the division and considering Jeter playing puts them in the best position of winning and considering that Jeter himself consistently puts the team first, I can't imagine they'll take him out of the lineup just so he'll get the hit at home.

He wants to win but he doesn't consistently put the team first.

That goes against what Jeter is about, he is always team first oriented player.

[Kentucky Bomber]

If he's in Cincy with 2998 or 2999 I'd be hard pressed, assuming my hip has recovered, to not go on StubHub and get the 3 of us there, or my son and me if it's the day game.

HOWEVER, you are reading the musings of a guy who wanted to be there for Rod Carew's 3000th back in my LA days and spent 2 days on the Freeway down to Anaheim because when he was at 2999 he went 0-4 the first game. The thought of spending StubHub prices, driving 100 miles each way and then witnessing bupkis is daunting. And what if he's at 2999 for the final game of the road trip and he and Girardi decide a rest day is in order - not out of the realm of possibility. Just get it in NY, Derek, please.

we are in too tough of a race to worry about that I think. Although I love to watch Jeter do it in the bronx. Still wish we played hardball with him during contract negotiation but that ship has sailed

[Kentucky Bomber]

He's picked up the pace, certainly, 9 hits in the last 5 games. But that's the Baltimore/Met pitching staffs. Hopefully he can maintain this rejuvenated production and get it at home by 6/16. There's a Western trip in the mix, 9 games and King Felix lurking therein.

[BronxYanks45]

I will bet money that if Jeter is 2,998 or 2,999 hits in the last game in CIN, he sits cause Joe wants to give him a day of rest which would be a cover story for him to get 3,000 at home.

[Big_E]

I am projecting sometime between June 9th and June 13th right now.

[NYYfan24]

Great! Will be there on the 11th!

[Tommy1961]

Looks like it will be an interleague game. Most likely on the road June 19 is the target date in my projections of 3 GAMES before or 3 GAMES AFTER. unless he stays hot but hotness does not usally last for weeks more like days.
btw I SEE ONLY ONE OFF DAY FOR JETER SOMETIME DURING THE CLEVELAND SERIES. There is already an off day for the next 3 weeks,
