Just was referencing the talk about Glaus earlier in the year. When people said “All he does is single!” and “His power only extends to the warning track.”
He won’t be heavily used in the outfield because he’s primary back-up at so many other positions. If we wanted to sub in Hinske at some point, we’d burn Omar and have no back-up at SS.
Generally, he kills fastballs and sliders, but according to pitch values, he’s pretty average against curveballs, and well below against change-ups and knuckles.
Anybody else think Heyward’s lack of strike zone control stems from his having moved so far off the plate? He didn’t swing at the crap pitches before he moved away from the plate.
OK, he moved 8" away then 2" closer, I’m just wondering if that’s part of his problem. In ST and early in the season he was the strike zone guru, not so much now
Exactly, its not what I expect out of a 20 year old rookie. Its what I expect out of our team and our lineup. Our two hole hitter shouldnt strike out like 30 plus percent of the time.
His approach seems to have changed, swinging at more bad pitches….not going the other way. In April he was hitting like a 2 hole hitter. For the past month or so, he has not.
But I can’t tell you much about those guys. Matt Lipka, our top pick this year, went 1-5 as the DH. We apparently had two guys name De La Santos in the line-up. Must have been fun for someone. One of those two homered.

one fucking run
samxrm - June 23, 2010
Heyward
cant hit lefties, I think its very apparent at this point in the season
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
he's also a 20-year-old rookie
atl192485 - June 23, 2010
granted
but he still cant hit lefties haha
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
that's like saying a baby can't read
atl192485 - June 23, 2010
but they have programs for that now
bpk228480 - June 23, 2010
not quite
but I know what you mean
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
Thank you
I knew the jackasses would come out when the kid wasn’t hitting!
Jay212033 - June 23, 2010
diaz can, when’s he coming back
samxrm - June 23, 2010
Not soon enough.
NCChopper - June 23, 2010
this
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
Soon I hope
HEYJUDE - June 23, 2010
And yet
He still hits them much better than Hinske, McLouth, and Cabrera. MUCH better.
Bronn - June 23, 2010
lately…cabrera HAS been raking
bpk228480 - June 23, 2010
which is sad, but its not as big as you would think
.221/.318/.390
33% K rate
Not counting today
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
The point is
There’s no one to platoon Heyward with because we don’t have anyone who has better platoon splits against lefties than he does.
Bronn - June 23, 2010
not
until Diaz comes back
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
At which point he'll platoon with Hinske.
Bronn - June 23, 2010
Omar
in left
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
No.
He won’t be heavily used in the outfield because he’s primary back-up at so many other positions. If we wanted to sub in Hinske at some point, we’d burn Omar and have no back-up at SS.
Bronn - June 23, 2010
Well
we will trade for a RH OF so I guess it does not matter
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
That's your assumption
I think if we’re adding anybody at the deadline, it’s David DeJesus. And we might not make any moves at all.
Bronn - June 23, 2010
diaz will play left
atl192485 - June 23, 2010
or a K fukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
atlbraveschamps - June 23, 2010
I think the word is out about Heyward's weakness
change-up low in the zone. Gets fooled WAY too often.
Bronn - June 23, 2010
just LHP pitching in general
he struggles mightily against them..
Which is common for a 20 year old left handed hitter… Just have not seen the quality of lefty before
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
Why the hell do we have so much trouble with shitty junk-balling lefties?
Zeus12888 - June 23, 2010
because they’re hard to hit, at times.
fandave - June 23, 2010
brian jordan?!
DOH
lingsched - June 23, 2010
galarraga
had 121 in 98 though, so i thought that was it
lingsched - June 23, 2010
The Spring Training Announcer?!?!
McCann and McWill - June 23, 2010
Literally, why are his K rates so high the last 2 weeks? I really liked him at the 6 spot, produced a lot better there than the 3 and 2 hole
atlbraveschamps - June 23, 2010
But winz happened when he moved to the 2 hole.
Pavy848 - June 23, 2010
…or was that more from moving Melky and Nate out of the #1 spot?
carpengui - June 23, 2010
and Glaus tearing it up
bpk228480 - June 23, 2010
more
lefties lately
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
Pitchers are figuring him out
I’m not kidding, you’ll find that a ton of his strikeouts are on change-ups low in the zone.
Bronn - June 23, 2010
that was early on
he’s vulnerable to fastballs high and fastballs in, too
atl192485 - June 23, 2010
Generally, he kills fastballs and sliders, but according to pitch values, he’s pretty average against curveballs, and well below against change-ups and knuckles.
Bronn - June 23, 2010
heyward back to the 6 spot?
:(
JasonHeywardisGod - June 23, 2010
how do the white sox still let juan pierre play?
that guy is awful
astromets - June 23, 2010
last year
he was pretty good
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
i guess youre right
still 31 rbis and 57 runs only
astromets - June 23, 2010
Only played when Manny was out.
McCann and McWill - June 23, 2010
doesnt he have a couple of 200 hit seasons?
bpk228480 - June 23, 2010
yeah
slap hitter is a good term..
If you take him for what he is worth, he can be productive.
Lead off with singles only
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
yeah didnt remember him with enough walks to keep his obp respectable
but i guess he learned that after the marlins
astromets - June 23, 2010
Home of the rejects
Pierre, Andruw, Vizquel, and Rios. Rios is the only one who’s worth it…at least this year he is
a hooter's baby - June 23, 2010

d1gram420 - June 23, 2010
He freakin owned at the 6 hole but we have beeen winning while he is in the 2 hole
atlbraveschamps - June 23, 2010
why do the even try on Ross?
samxrm - June 23, 2010
Great throw
by Ross there, got rid of it fast

UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
idk but watcing his abs it looks like he basically swings at every pitch
bpk228480 - June 23, 2010
Good question...
his swing looks awful right now though
Zeus12888 - June 23, 2010
hawk harrelson
still bumbling on on that one pitch
atl192485 - June 23, 2010
Did Rios just face-plant into the fence?
Bronn - June 23, 2010
GAPPER
… but doesn’t score Chip. Apparently wearing Glaus shoes.
carpengui - June 23, 2010
he paused at second….just in case Rios made a great play
bpk228480 - June 23, 2010
Woooo...LF finally
bpk228480 - June 23, 2010
Anybody else think Heyward’s lack of strike zone control stems from his having moved so far off the plate? He didn’t swing at the crap pitches before he moved away from the plate.
bighop - June 23, 2010
?
you mean he moved closer to the plate
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
No, earlier in the year he was closer and did not swing at so many bad pitches. Now he is away from the plate and swinging at crap.
bighop - June 23, 2010
He moved back a little bit closer
It’s a pain to keep up with.
Bronn - June 23, 2010
OK, he moved 8" away then 2" closer, I’m just wondering if that’s part of his problem. In ST and early in the season he was the strike zone guru, not so much now
bighop - June 23, 2010
Earlier in the season
he was off the plate, then they moved him closer
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
Last week he was so far off the plate he was nearly out of the batters box
bighop - June 23, 2010
im worried
about his andruw jones-esque batting average and strikeout rate. loved andruw in his prime but this kid is supposed to be better ya?
15ks - June 23, 2010
You're right
We should just go ahead and send him to the Dodgers.
Bronn - June 23, 2010
in 11 years
after 350 homers and ten gold gloves. i’d take it, i really would, but we’re all expecting god. i mean our modest projections called for a .285 right?

Taking a strike is not a bad plan… especially if you’re 0-for-14 against the dude.
carpengui - June 23, 2010

when it’s a hitters count rather than taking a strike then popping the next up is a better plan

HEYJUDE - June 23, 2010
IT'S TIME TO END THE HEYWARD EXPERIMENT
atl192485 - June 23, 2010
Can I ask a serious question?
What do many of you expect from a 20 y.o. Rookie?
Jay212033 - June 23, 2010
Some days off to rest his body
HEYJUDE - June 23, 2010
i expect
70 HRs, 300 RBIs, a .500 BA, and a gold glove season….nothing out of reach…
SouthernPanther - June 23, 2010
Logical Post?!
Unheard of!
a hooter's baby - June 23, 2010
Maybe the manager shouldn’t put a 20 yr old rookie in the 2 spot?
NCChopper - June 23, 2010
Exactly, its not what I expect out of a 20 year old rookie. Its what I expect out of our team and our lineup. Our two hole hitter shouldnt strike out like 30 plus percent of the time.
bpk228480 - June 23, 2010
99% of you wanted him moved up in the lineup
But now that he’s struggling it’s BC fault!
Jay212033 - June 23, 2010
Wow, good to know I’m in the rare 1 percentile.
NCChopper - June 23, 2010
His approach seems to have changed, swinging at more bad pitches….not going the other way. In April he was hitting like a 2 hole hitter. For the past month or so, he has not.
bpk228480 - June 23, 2010
and I always wanted him to stay in the 6 hole as well. But, we also had no one to bat 2nd back then.
bpk228480 - June 23, 2010
I wish
he would not try to pull everything, but homers sell
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
Easier said than done
Especially for a 20 y.o. kid!
Jay212033 - June 23, 2010
very true
Mclouth and Mac would firmly agree
UltimaParadox - June 23, 2010
+100
HEYJUDE - June 23, 2010
wow
lingsched - June 23, 2010
Jason is swinging at everything and we can't score with bases loaded 1 out.
Our good luck and good playing had to calm down a little bit. It was just a matter of time.

Freddie Freeman was 3-4. His average is up to .277, with a .336 OBP. He just needs to get his power stroke going.
Bronn - June 24, 2010
The GCL team scored 12 runs
But I can’t tell you much about those guys. Matt Lipka, our top pick this year, went 1-5 as the DH. We apparently had two guys name De La Santos in the line-up. Must have been fun for someone. One of those two homered.

d1gram420 - June 24, 2010
So, this means we're depending on LOWE to save a little self-respect and avoid a SWEEP in Chigago?
Damn. Especially when the Phils, Muts and Marlins will not lose.
NCChopper - June 24, 2010
Ugh...at least its not KK?
bpk228480 - June 24, 2010

UltimaParadox - June 24, 2010

Zeus12888 - June 24, 2010
