4/27 Rays at Fenway

[jad]

JBJ is just plain useless at the plate when he swings at 2 pitches out of the zone, either one of which would have given him a walk and brought the tying run home with 2 outs in the 8th.

 

I'm getting pretty sick and tired of his defenders assuring us that he was great back in 2016 and could be great again. He's 29 years old and refuses to learn how to swing a bat at this level--to say nothing of knowing the strike zone.

 

It seems to me that was actually a pretty good major league baseball game yesterday. Sucks that we lost, needless to say. But the Rays have excellent pitching and so you are going to lose some 2-1 games to them.

 

I have always hated games like that. I want to see hitters do something I can't do. (E.g., I think my swing at those out of the zone balls that JBJ hacked at would have been late and slow enough that the umpire would have assumed I was simply taking a practice swing prior to the next pitch--result? a bases-loaded, game-tying walk!)

Should have sold high on Bradley.
