eh, i just think that heyward isn't the swing doctor like some of these guys (rizzo, bryant, etc.) and the cubs wrecked him with the adjustments in an attempt to get him to get the ball in the air more. at this point i've convinced myself he's more likely to have his best year at the plate vs. repeat this performance at some point over the next two seasons

 

I'm sure they've fixed guys and we just didn't make a big deal out of it but it seems like the Cubs have 2 players who they tried to refine into better overall hitters with disasterous results.

you mean like bryant, rizzo, russell, and fowler? all of them have made significant adjustments under the tutelage of our big league coaching that really made them take steps forward.

 

hell, even javy is a very different hitter, even though he still has a ways to go.

how did this horsefeathers hit .290 last season

 

He was wearing a Cardinals jersey. Duh.

 

Coghlan would probably be hitting a robust .210 if he was on their squad.

Maybe it's the beer but this doesn't really make sense to me

Being classy enough to play for the Cardinals instantly raises your BA by at least 40 points.

You need to shut down, remove your battery cells and store yourself in uncooked rice immediately.

oh right. coghlan has been bad so .210 would be good.

 

he's actually hitting .214 with the cubs tho.

 

also, the cardinals suck. they don't have pixie dust.

*beep boop beep* (extremely robot voice) actually pixie dust is from the 1953 walt disney film 'peter pan.' there is no evidence that it exists in real life. i will never know a woman's touch.

You're thinking of BAC.

If we are completely overhauling his swing, who knows what type of hitter he ends up as. He could end up being a .700 OPS K machine, he could end up sacrificing almost all his power

He doesn't have any power to sacrifice, so overhaul away.

Yeah there's very little power to sacrifice as is and it's more than likely whatever he's doing wrong/going to change is already causing him to have little power anyways.
