Rob Shuter reports…. Alex Rodriguez, No. 4 on Major League Baseball’s all-time home runs list, is striking out on ESPN — and the network’s pressuring him to get galpal Jennifer Lopez in the batter’s box!

“The show is down 18 percent from last season, and producers are hoping Jennifer can save the day.”

“J.Lo is a ratings machine, and when she’s around, Alex loosens up,” the source continued.
“They hired a top media trainer for him, but Alex is just not connecting with viewers.”
Maybe they’re just angry that his pricey J-Lo inspired Limited Edition caps sold out.
