When Bradley was red hot and still in the 9 hole a lot of fans were complaining about not moving him up in the order. Sometimes you can't win with this stuff.
Cafardo's story on the game suggests you're right. Headline: 'When it rains, it pours on Sox manager John Farrell.' First line: 'The black cloud above Red Sox manager John Farrell keeps hovering.'
I'm no big fan of Farrell's any more, but I have no issues with his lineups. Moving guys around in the order a lot based on who's hot and who's cold is not a good idea, IMHO.
If ever there was a perfect definition of Pink Hat, it might be this: "Someone who sings Sweet Caroline with the facial expression of a happy drunk at midnight on New Year's Eve, even though the Sox are losing by 5 runs."
