How so strut? I watch the Cardinals every day, know all of their stances, why would I lie?
Albert's hands are in a horrible position, as are his legs. Look at the picture of his in-game stance sideways (it was somewhere on here) to this stance: http://swamigp.files.wordpress.com/2...bertpujols.jpg
No where close. You can watch videos of mlb.com too (same goes with all these guys)
Holliday doesn't have any leg movement, and his bat is relatively still. Colby has a leg kick and a two-handed follow-through. Berkman's bat somewhat rests on his shoulder.
As for Carpenter
1. He doesn't fall off toward 1st base
2. after he goes through his windup, his leg lift is much slower than in-game.
Like I said, check mlb.com, your eyes seem to be deceiving you

Im not going to get into a huge long drawn out argument with you about this but if you ask around, you'll see I know a thing or two about stances. first of all, with Pujols, you posted a picture from the side which you can't see in the video because it is the pitcher cam view. Pujols also is known for switching his stance throughout the season, including hand placement so the picture you posted might not be the same model they were using for the game. Berkmans stance while the same as years past is pretty accurate. yes he does rest the bat on his shoulder but his actual hitting position and leg/feet placement are nearly perfect. Rasmus DOES need the 2 handed follow thru as you mentioned but his stance itself is nearly perfect and as for Carpenter, they did seem to tweak his a bit but I do agree on his that they needed to do a bit more work on it but it still isn't as far off as you're implying. Holliday's stance is better than last years I can tell you that. He had the bat wrapped far too far around his head last year and he too is a guy who often adjusts his stance in season. The stance in the video looks a bit more like how he batted for the Rockies because is a bit more straight legged now with the Cardinals but it is a fairly good representation. overall I have really liked what I have seen in the videos as far as updated stances go and again, you won't find a bigger stickler for stances/motions than me. They aren't going to get every one completely accurate and most of that has to do with the time it takes to motion capture, but the fact that they listened to a lot of our community's ideas/complaints from the past games, it is at least a step in the right direction.
