Absolutely! GG.

33 128 118 18 38 8 4 6 28 2 0 7 30 .322 .367 .610 .977 AWESOME! JBJ 28 rbi's. Papi 29

Yes! He will win the batting title. oh hell.... Triple Crown!

As I recall, JBJ's numbers were excellent in the minors.... Perhaps we've all been way off base judging his initial herky-jerky call ups to the big club as his "norm," & we all need to re-evaluate our expectations for him. I've always thought that those who "said" they'd be happy if he could just hit .225 were so far beyond low-balling this kid that it's been laughable. Love the glove, but I never would have been good with that. Good thing we won't have to even think about it.

No doubt you all saw this.?... Crazy good. Pretty decent sample size. In his last 83 games, @JackieBradleyJr has hit .306 with 48 extra-base hits and 67 RBIs. This kid just might be something at the plate as well as with the glove? Are we possibly seeing the emergence of the next Fred Lynn? I don't think I ever even thought that about Ells? Certainly not about his fielding. JBJ just might have it all???

This is a great point! Not only for baseball in general, but for the pitcher! Come in with a gameplan. The pitcher that keeps a quick pace most often keeps the batters off balance. They don't get to "settle in" to the box & get a good look. I've never understood the tediously slow pace that Price has been keeping lately???

This offense is a juggernaut! If we were able to get a really good #2, or one of these 6 step up to a good #2..... & our #1 comes back, THIS IS A WS bound team! Moon might be right about 98 wins???

Sure it's early, that's why I would love to see some over / unders on all the catagories listed, & what you think they will be ? I listed specifics that were much higher than the ones I had elsewhere, & now i'm wondering if I overshot? Love the kid, & think he will come on strong, but no doubt he has been slow to adjust to the steady diet of outside sliders & FB UP & DOWN.

LOL. This kid is golden in my eyes... he would never! It would break his moma's heart! She warned him about hanging with t he bad boys.

Dojji, Fair enough. But when I get home after starting my day at 4:00 a.m., working hard, & then watching the game, I often need to let off a little steam. I admit to being a high energy guy, who needs to release. Often times, I am trying to be a bit provocative, to keep things going. Some of it was coming from a dying board, that needed life suport, but I do like to mix it up. Generally speaking, I mean what I say, but often make it a bit inflamatory with the rhetorical flourish (euphemistically speaking Then again.. it could be as simple as that dumb dog that moves into your neighborhood, who has to piss all over every Bush, tree, & hydrant until the damn thing feels comfortable & just takes a damned nap. The settling in goes a lot qucker if you scratch behind my ears. Woof. I'LL chill.

Ells. .260. .701 ops. 9 rbi's Says he's hoping the hip improves & would like to stay off the DL I loved Ells! OSU boy where my son will be going. Just get tired of the same old story, same old song and dance. Maybe it really is that he gives too much, and puts too much speed & therfore impact on a body that just can't handle it? 15 day hit streak leading mlb for Jackie!

Guess who just mashed his was into being the second most productive hitter with the Red Sox? JBJ now hitting over .290 with an ops over .860, and 21 RBI's ( 2nd most for the RS, not too far behind Papi ) This kid Is on FIRE!!!! He just may re-set all our expectations this year! Wish I could find my predictions on him at (that site whose name shall not be mentioned).

That error could end his career! I don't mean to sound alarmist, but we all know that 1 play can spell disaster in you mlb life. The end is near....

LOL. I do like the fact that you can get a smidge more spicy on this site! Hope they allow us to become an.... "acquired taste." Bark is way worse than the bite folks! Have fun! Play ball!

Not worried. LOVE THE KID!!!!! I am serious about hard numbers on the over under on the kid for this year. ???

How badly does he suck? Kidding!! But, i'm a little worried that he is raking far longer to shoot the outside pitches to the oposite field, and MAY NEVER EVER recover? Over under???? Where does he finish? Avg. .270 OBP. .310 Slg. % .470 Ops. .780 HR's. 17 rbi's. 60 Runs scored. 90 RF ranking? 10th in the mlb? Bowling has destroyed the kid's career? Y or N I don't see the thread, so please excuse my .... whatever? In full diisclosure...., I had the kid doing YUGE things this year. Disappointed with his slow adjustments for such a smart kid.

I do have to admit, when somebody tells me I can't make judgements about repeated bad behavior that effects so many other people, I get my dander up. That I can't draw reasonable inferences based on facts and a clear pattern of deceptive behavior? I get my back up. That somebody can behave in a destructive manner, put others around them into crisis, play the victim, then have other PC PEOPLE tell me it's unfair, mean, intolerant, immature, or otherwise to make reasonable judgement calls ( other than claiming a guy is high, which he clearly was , I begin to wonder what f***ing planet some live on??? LOL. But yes! I love to state some opinions with a certain...... flair?

You should see me on a jury! Guess which of the 12 Angry Men I would be? You'd be surprised. I just play an ******* on the internet, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

LOL. Just messin.... I do love to mix it up though, so buyer beware!

p.s. you seem to be on here quite a bit? Lotta whining about where folks should or should not post. Seems kinda ..... judgemental? Dictatorial? Repressive? Condemning? Potentially evil????? ok ok. Th a t was a bit strongly worded. I take back stubborn.

You do have to love the ultra-PC culture that has so many brainwashed into thinking they are not capable of any judgements whatsoever!

Lol. Good call!

If your going in for heart surgery, but your doctor has trouble bellying up to your examination table just to give you an examination? What would you infer? If you consistently see him fumble his stethoscope, pen, ipad, notes, etc.? What would you infer? If his fingers are so fat that he can't handle the scalpel anymore, what would you infer? If a guy comes into work every day hung over? What would you infer. If a guy is charged with getting a portion of a team project ready for presentation, but consistently comes unprepared? What would you infer? When you have a guy on your project team who is constantly out sick, but you're more than sure it's self induced? What would you infer? When you have a guy on your staff who is the highest paid, but is always out sick come presentation time? What would you infer? If a guy on your staff wins the lottery, then he's constantly out sick, never has his work done, comes to work consistently unprepared, and you are left holding the bag???? What would you infer? Might you then.... when it's really oersonal, and personally impacting you in a negative way, cause you to make a few reasonable judgements about this guy's character?

They are great my man. I've got a 3rd grader & have been through 2 others. Plus coached scores. They are very capable of drawing inferences based on someone's actions. It ain't brain surgery! Well.... for some I guess it is.

With the mound of fact upon fact that has already been sited here with which posters have based their inferences, this seems to be an attack on our character? Tisk tisk I'm sure any 4th grader could read them all? but I would never call someone a fool for being too lazy to read them! They are voluminous after all.
