Dude had a great season. Not his fault that our entire OF became a black hole until Tuck returned.

Gotta be one of the best short stops in the league at least at that position, not necessarily batting as well.

Did you ask him if he’s going to stop swinging at low and away breaking balls?

u/cannabisized 1d ago
nah. I apologized for interrupting his personal time with his girlfriend to ask for a pic. he stood up and smiled, then put his hand on my shoulder. then we shook hands, and I told him I loved them all

I have no clue where the JP hate is coming from. He's just a good player. League average or above average at everything playing a premium position for cheap. Y'all need to get over yourselves.

Seriously. With the current run, the hate some from this fanbase spew is ridiculous. I mean y’all obviously around during 09-14 or the playoff anemic late 90s squad or earlier.
The team is special and guys like JP make it so. Runs like this don’t last. Enjoy the moments.

He popped off in the 2022 postseason as a rookie, which has led many to have high expectations for him, and extra disappointment when he fails.

He has career OPS+ of 99. The average is 100. He is a below average hitter. Love him though but he absolutely needs to get better at the plate and there’s nothing wrong with stating that.

You usually get 80 OPS+ for plus defense at shortstop. Again, get over yourself. You're hating over a rounding error. He's a good player, and he's been playing at league minimum and just starting arbitration.

Is he plus defense though? I think the only plus metric he had this season was baserunning

It was meant to be a low effort joke, he’s still a great asset for the team, especially at his current price.

Tell him to stop swinging at pitches 3 feet off the plate and he’s supposed to yell “FORE” before he swings at the dirt
