Terrible call; terrible excuse; terrible job engaging the player.

So far, all we have is Jeter's version of what Marty said.
In some pro circles, another version goes like this:
"The ball beat you, the glove was done, you know how it's done Derek."
Then an embarrassed Jeter decided to interpret it to his manager and the press. Ratspeak.
In real time, from the positioning prescribed, it is an understandable call.
