***Official Gerald Perry bandWGN***

[seanimal]

What a difference this guy has made.

 

.377 Team OBP so far this Spring, good for 2nd in the NL, 4th in the ML...

 

... and we have Gerald Perry to thank. Make it official!

[cubs121]

I still want to see more ... but I really like what im seeing.. IM ON.. and i called Shotgun!!!

[SaorsaDaonnan]

I'd like to join, but I think it'd be going outside my zone a little bit. Gotta stay aggressive!

 

 

[Ever notice how G.P. never responds directly to questions, or how he encodes his teachings in terms of aggressiveness?]

[Rob]

I'm certainly all about it.

if he keeps improving the hitting he can wear dresses and only talk in pig latin for all i care.

[Guancous]

I'm reserving my seat on the bandwagon. It also helps that the 2007 would have been the heart of the 2006 order.

[otis89]

I'm in!

[Omar]

I'm on!

 

I love what he's doing with Cedeno and Izzy.

[MPrior]

Join. The spring training results are encouraging, but I'd be on with any hitting coach who preached this particular philosophy, regardless of spring training results.

True... But it makes it a lot more encouraging given that he was the hitting coach for the Oakland A's.

He also did a very good job improving plate discipline for the Mariners and Pirates, IIRC.

[CubmanPi]

If those numbers hold through the first few weeks of the regular season, I'm on.

[A New Era]

I am JUMPING right in on this one. I've heard what he has done for the A's and I think he can do it for the Cubs. I love the guy to be honest with ya.

 

Already I am seeing an improvement in Ronny Cedeno (I think to myself, who the HECK IS this guy at the plate!?!?!?) and if Izturis can take more walks then he isn't such a liability at the plate afterall.

 

But I think it's also Lou that is helping a bit too. The combo of Perry and Piniella is STELLAR for teaching good baseball. .

If Billy Beane is alright with him, so are we!

[Balsa]

Count me in! When does the photoshop get done?

[Dirt Dog Sparly]

I'll jump on before it gets too crowded. Its a Band WGN that I have been waiting on for a while.

[10man]

I don't know who Gerald Perry is but I love jumping on these bandwagons :lol:

Uhh.. the new hitting coach for the Cubs? He Promotes patience. He's worked wonders with Oakland and and Seattle, during their great season.

[ed mcmahon] YYYYYYYES! You are CORRECT Sir! [/ed mcmahon]

A winner is me?

 

Just something I wanna add..

 

Ronny Cedeno had 17 walks last year.. in 550ish plate appearances. Now, even though it's spring, he has 11 walks. Still amazing. I have no doubt he'll keep it up.

Though some of this credit goes to Lou. Cedeno even credited Lou a lot during a pre-game show today. Even though Perry probably helped a little too.

I believe we were close to 1st in the NL in SLG too, so if this keeps up we'll have a heckuva offense.
