ATL Breaughs: What in the Hell is Wrong With Jason Heyward?!

[Black White Sox Hat]

Have our hitting coaches just been complete shyt?Do hitting coaches even really help your team?Our bats have been horrible for years and years.Smh.

Inconsistent. It's ironic, the poise & patience he had as a rookie has largely abandoned him now. He had a nice bounce back season last yr, but he's awful now. I never really bought the hype even tho he was a beast as a rookie...at this point I just hope he's serviceable for the rest of the season

 

[SoulController]

these are his career stats against lefties

2010: .249/.356/.399
2011: .192/.270/.308
2012: .224/.280/.354
2013: .185/.264/.308

like most things aside from his D, he has really slipped since his rookie year. the Braves outfield has been amazingly bad for like 50+ games now

It's apparent that Jason Heyward is just another product of the Atlanta Braves farm system hype machine.

It's helped the Braves in a lot of prospects trades over the years.

 

[I AM WE ARE]

if it wasn't for his defense he'd be batting 7th for the minors somewhere but damn maybe he needs to seek outside help from other established hitting coaches/former players cause dude is stinking up the joint even though he had a decent game last night

 

[mastermind]

he just isnt that good.

He's got too much praise too soon

Pretty much these two things

John Schuerholz & Bobby Cox practically mastered the whole hyping up prospects thing.

I remember in the late 90s how every pitcher they had was as good as Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz. EVERY pitcher in their system that got called up.

Damn...these can't be real numbers

From a starting outfielder...

lol at Wayward Heyward and the Upton boys supposedly being the greatest black outfield ever...

 

[bigmanharris]

he's raised his average over 60 points....BJ bum ass Upton ain't no support. Jason straight. He will be ok
