How long before Rock Shoulders is a thing? Dude continues to get on base at a crazy clip.

The Brun-O-Meter is at .431 after two more hits.

 

I'm slowly becoming a Brun-Liever.

He was a pretty significant overslot as I recall, so he's not just another Justin Bour or Rebel Ridling.

Rock needs to make a bit more contact. But he is a guy with a chance, big power, solid approach.

Long time reader, first time poster. It's great to see all the walks and the emphasis on drawing walks and working counts. I actually played a year in the Cubs system under the old regime. I remember many a time when a hitter would take a pitch, and the manager would yell from the dugout, swing the bat! It definitely was not a point of emphasis in the previous regime.

 

It comes down to can you teach patience or not. I think you can to some level, but the previous regime was definitely teaching how not to be patient. The thinking was you can't become a better hitter if you dont' swing.

Welcome!

 

And that, while not surprising, is awful to hear.

Welcome! Hope you give more insight on how the old regime did things versus what you may have heard about the new one.
