Agreed, he is not liking the pressure of batting 2nd.
Or the pressure of playing in general.

I'm not going to sit here and say BJ doesn't care. He cares, he is just sucking miserably to where it looks like he just doesn't care.

Can't judge a player just because he doesn't slam his bat or helmet on the ground after K'ing. You can see when he k's the long look of disappointment he has when walking to the dugout. You'll never catch me boo'ing a player like some of our fans do at Turner. The only exception I'd make is Dan Kolb and Bob Wickman. While Reitsma would blow wins away, I never boo'd him.

Dalyn

Saying he doesn't care is just plain stupid. Just because he completely sucks right now doesn't mean he doesn't care. Does Uggla not care?

The Chosen One
04-12-2014, 04:58 PM
BJ's brother is playing right next to him. No way he's mailing it in. These guys don't become professional athletes so they can just mail it in when they get paid.

BJ is legitimately struggling right now, and it sucks that fans have to boo him after every at-bat. Who cares if he makes a lot of money? He didn't earn it striking out 60% of the time and hitting 5 homers a year. Cheer him on and try and get him started, instead of boo'ing him and asking for Schafer who's clearly the worser option.

Dalyn
04-12-2014, 05:04 PM
I think BJ and Uggla need to go to a sport psychologist.

Honestly I am leaning towards BJ not caring because he is in his physical prime and outside of his big pay day all that changed was moving to the NL. If BJ cared he would stop swinging for the fences every at bat. I bet he could hit .300 if he was willing to be a slap hitter. He needa to take the advice Chris Johnson did and just focus on hitting line drives rather than trying to hit home runs.

Way oversimplifying. Swinging for the fences is a very common trait in pressing too much, and he's been doing it since he got here. Not because he "doesn't care." It's a lot easier said than done to stop pressing. And no, he could not hit .300 regardless of anything.***

***Unless he morphed in to Mike Trout, in which case he could.
