He's a rookie. To expect him to not have a learning curve is just ignorant.

 

Which is why I said he isn't ready yet

 

That swing trying to smoke every each is Crawford redux in his time here.

SO I showed up with the Yankees down 2. That was the ripest experience? Really. LOL

2 down with offense going? Yeah that sounds like the right time for you to show up and begin your routine.

 

Gotta love jobs with such flexible hours. Because without you, I wouldn't be able to cash my welfare checks, rite?

Flexible hours? I work shifts in a hospital. I got out at 9

If Melky could hit like he did when he was on roids, I'd welcome him back. I think the roids were the reason for his spike in production, though

 

Maybe he should try PX90....

The only way for him to get 'ready' is to take his lumps against MLB pitching.

Bradley wouldn't be the first weak hitting rookie with other benefits that took a little while to adjust to big league pitching. I see a lot of upside to the kid. How many people thought at one point that Iggy was a defensive dream that would never bat over .200?

Here, I'll tell you right now, I might be around for the first hour of the game tomorrow. After that, I'll be working. Would you like my schedule prior to every game? That can be arranged

We already know your schedule. You work overtime on Yankee losses, you "just got home" when they've tied/taken the lead or are threatening to do so, and if they're rolling, you have the day off.

 

Can't you just admit that you're a fairweather trolling cock?

I will admit that I work a lot and you are welcome for the public assistance that I paid for

And you would've been long gone by now if we hadn't immediately started calling you on your s***. So for tonight you're sticking around to defend your honor.

It's extremely rare that players come up and hit their straps immediately. Usually you have guys like Pedroia, Trout, Kemp, etc.

 

Just about every single guy you look up, he had around 50 games his first year and struggled.

Bradley is a patient hitter that for now appears to have one big hole at the plate. He sometimes looks like WMB has looked only from the other side of the plate....flailing hopelessly at pitches so far off the plate that he could not hit them with a boat oar. When you have a really big hole as a ML hitter, pitchers just work off of that. Eventually you become a very easy out as the pitcher either has to make a god-awful mistake for you to get a hit or you close your eyes and run into something. He will work it out. He seems to have an inherently good eye. So I expect him to close that hole and turn into a solid ML hitter. Just takes time if you have the God given talent to begin with.

 

Its guys like Nava that are pretty miraculous. He lives off his baseball smarts and that is about it. God did not give him enough of any one thing to say he is talented.....except of a good noodle and a willingness to do whatever it took to get here. There is much to be said for that.
