Whiplash caused by knee jerk reactions is my guess.

Remember Bruce's first game?

50/50 shot it will be one of those two guys.

Just read this:

Since homering in his first major league at-bats, he’s 2-for-16 with eight strikeouts.
Heyward could be one of the better NL outfielders ... eventually. But, I think that the hype got a little crazy and some people started thinking that he'd be one of the best outfielders NOW. Hopefully the expectations for him THIS YEAR will become a little more realistic. If Heyward can just have an .800 ops this year it would be a big achievement.

That's actually better than the start Bruce has had to this season, believe it or not.
Re: Who will have the better career: Jason Heyward or Jay Bruce?
Has anybody seen Heyward hit? He has insanely quick hands and a short swing.
Heyward will have the better year and career. He's a once in a lifetime type player, IMO.
I think Bruce will end up with 30+ HRs, but overall Heyward will be better.

I'll never understand the Janish love on this board.

Considering some of the bad D guys we've had at SS in the last decade it's not a surprise to see the glove guy with no stick get love.

It is more pronounced against lefthanders, but he does it on righthanders too. He has no chance against a lefthanders' breaking stuff. Heyward looked like a beast at the plate yesterday.

Hitting a baseball in the Major Leagues is Hard.
Hitting when you are off balance is all most impossible.

I'll agree with this assessment.

I must not have gotten access to "this board" that has all "Janish love."
Maybe I should check my DNS.
