So he can rot on the bench because Fredi hates him and refuses to let him play.

We're winning thanks to Freeman, but stranding too many runners again. This could cost us later, esp. with Reed replacing Heyward. I don't have confidence in Reed vs righties, though I like him vs lefties. I also wanted to see Joey T get his shot with Heyward being forced to leave due to injury.

Yeah I don't get it. The idea that he's going to become a bad hitter is just wrong. We aren't talking about his defense, just his hitting.

Nobody was within 8 feet of the base. You slow down and round the base slightly and you are fine. Just a dumb play. Like all of his head first slides. Completely unnecessary.
Went back and wathed it. He was grabbing his hammy,.

Especially when he's batting 8th and has been most of the season. There's a lot of teams that would kill to have a guy batting 8th with that kind of production. Like I said if his defense was even average we wouldn't have anyone say anything bad about him.

Wasting too many pitches and then wind up losing him.

Not walking, striking out a lot, not a lot of power, and unusually high BABIP those years. If you are fully prepared to believe that Chris Johnson of all people is going to be a high BABIP for the rest of his career then go ahead. I don't buy it.
Offensively it isn't. However when you are a horrible defender it leads to a not so good player.

BJ threw a dart to second base. If he gets to the ball a little bit faster he gets Choo.

To be fair, most teams getting that kind of production from folks don't hit them 8th
Nobody thinks he is a horrible hitter. He isn't. But with that defense he's an average at best player. Sure for what he's making that's fine. But we can and should do better overall.

You can call it what you'd like. If the ball was hit more towards center instead of left he would have gotten there faster.

There's no proof that head first slides hurt you more. Ask Jose Reyes what he thinks about feet first slides. Players slide into empty bases all the time. You just don't like Heyward and when a player gets on your **** list you just find every thing they do wrong.
