re hbp bb big cat in article of rec sport baseball healey qucdn queensu ca roger healey wrote the original poster wanted to know how the big cat looked i was also at the saturday game in montreal apr that rockies won i haven t paid much attention to gallarraga since he left the expos but his stance seemed to be much different he stands more erect and very open with his left foot pointing to rd base i m wondering if this is a recent change in stance for him andres had one glaring weakness as a hitter he could always be fooled by a curve ball low and away if this is indeed a new stance for him maybe he is not being fooled as easily yes the stance is new don baylor was his batting coach at st louis last year and now as his manager is continuing to work with him maybe andres has a weak left eye and the open stance gives him a better look at the ball or maybe it is simply improving his mechanics i dunno but the change seems to have enabled him to hit the ball as well as years ago his selectivity has not changed gregg baseball ncar ucar edu cr o cr colorado rockies
