He is taking way too many cookies up there … this is why his slug is almost non existent

That’s the funny thing about baseball. Over the course of a 162 game season, every player goes through a dozen or more mini slumps that require adjustments. MLB teams spend great amounts of resources figuring out ways to get hitters out. The best hitters adjust and adapt. I’m sure JJ will too.

All abut perception. To me it looks like he expanded his zone and swings at too many bad pitches lately.

JJ is and will be far superior to Noot. In all respects except maybe power and that's a huge IF in itself. Not even mentioning how long it will be before Noot is on the IL again.

LOL
I actually applaud his plate discipline especially for a rookie.
Also leadoff hitters usually want to work the count more.
And who cares about his “slug”???
It’s about OBP!

JJ will end up scoring 100 runs this year from the leadoff spot a far cry from noot. rweb is like my x-wife I booted out the door. Just give her a minute and she could always find something new to (buzz) about.

Every time I think certain CT posters can't get any dumber (or more willfully ignorant, if I'm being generous) they still manage to surprise.

It was predictable he would hit a wall in his rookie season and he's had very few off days.

He's well aware of what his shortcomings have been and he will correct them.

He's been in the middle of a lot of Cardinal wins this year and will be in the next decade or so.

He leads off, leads the team in runs scored and is on pace for 100+ runs scored, but he needs to be less selective and hit into more outs.

Fascinating.

He is going to end up with 100 runs scored which is good for a leadoff. I do hope in the future we would see him bat .280 with a .400+ on base percentage. Herrera is the one I'd like to see more slug. He should have his slugging pct up around .450.

A minor, gentle correction — it’s Web7, not rweb. I could see how you could easily get the two mixed up, though!

So what has his slug been since the all star game? I will wait for you simpletons to not answer.

They are both the same guy. He's been around here for years complaining about everything.
