Any visit to the mound by a catcher or infielder is a charged visit. Enough of all the conferences with players talking to their gloves. Institute an automatic called strike if a batter steps out of the batters box between pitches without permission which shall be granted only for injury or an equipment problem.
Bradley has options. He needs to be sent down and hopefully learn to hit. He has shown limited ability to piut in play a major league fastball. That is very concerning. He seems overmatched by the fastball.
If he hacks it up out there, it will be mentioned. I don't know when or if he has played the OF in his career. It is not an easy transition to make at the major league level if you have not previously played the OF.
A 10 game losing streak and a 5 game losing streak (and counting) within a month does not bode well for this team. I don't think they are getting hot enough to climboutof this sub-.500 hole to be competitive for the division and the Wild cards are a long shot too.
