    JBJ: Elite Defender With Some Pop

    My annual JBJ comment : ) He continues to cock his hands vertically just prior to triggering swing. Nothing new. It will remain his albatross, as it has since he came up. All the $$ they spend on video, and all the experts ..... and they just do not see it. Devers: same thing. Nunez, Benny -...

    The Alex Cora Difference

    Agreed, Holt should have hit. For all the reasons described. A no-brainer. Surprised that I have not seen yet the bigger "miss " by Cora and Staff during the ninth inning. Why was Judge being held on by Pearce with no out and Gregorius at bat ? In the hope that they would turn a 3-6-3 DP ? No...

    JBJ: Elite Defender With Some Pop

    Some great numbers/analytics here. All very helpful and interesting. I will opt for the eye-test here, and say, Finally !! Last night ( Tue vs Balt ) was very, very encouraging. Slightly bent knees, bat back at a 45 degree to begin AB, and, most importantly, the hands were at a 45 also and...

    JBJ: Elite Defender With Some Pop

    Frustration here for many years has always been " with all of the visual imagery and all of the technology, why do the experts not see what so many of us 'amateurs' can see ? " And this is a great case of it. So sad to see someone repeat the same mistakes, over and over. Watch really closely...

    JBJ: Elite Defender With Some Pop

    JBJ actually has made what could have been a great adjustment this year. He dropped his hands. And he removed the annoying check swing just before the pitcher would deliver. Two very good things for him to do; because he couldn't get to the ball down and away and anything above his belt +94...
