    This is not the first time 28-year-old Jackie Bradley Jr. has figured it out: New dad Jackie Bradley Jr. AL Player of Month WWW.MLB.COM BALTIMORE -- Jackie Bradley Jr. went 2-for-2 on Thursday and he wasn't even in the Red Sox's lineup. Thanks largely to his recent 29-game hitting streak, Bradley earned American League Player of the Month honors for the first time Thursday, but it was hardly the highlight of his afternoon.The Red We should caution against cherry-picking his recent performance as indicative just as we should caution against cherry-picking his early-season performance as indicative.

    fWAR values rounded to the nearest tenth. Without the rounding Craig Kimbrel ranks sixth, as reflected in the dollar values: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=rel&lg=all&qual=y&type=6&season=2018&month=0&season1=2016&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0

    Among relievers this year Craig Kimbrel ranks 31st in fWAR: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=rel&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2018&month=0&season1=2018&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&page=1_30 Kimbrel ranks sixth among relievers in fWAR since joining the Red Sox in 2016: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=rel&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2018&month=0&season1=2016&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 Although fWAR may not be the best measure of a reliever's contributions, the rankings raise questions about Kimbrel's worth. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/war-and-relievers/

    Assuming Lucas Giolito is done for the night, this would mark the righthander's eighth quality start in his last 10 trips to the mound. I regret benching the 24-year-old Giolito on my fantasy team.

    Over his last nine starts coming into tonight's game, White Sox righthander Lucas Giolito had held opponents to a .214/.296/.388/.685 line: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=giolilu01&t=p&year=2018

    No garbage. Some fans want to see a baseball player as something more than a one-dimensional human being on this earth solely for our sporting entertainment. http://www.espn.com/espn/otl/news/story?id=6395744

    No need to be outraged ... just another side of (a younger) J.D. Martinez: http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/columnists/steve_buckley/2018/08/buckley_red_sox_jd_martinez_gets_a_for_effort_f_in_history

    I just found the report mildly interesting. J.D. Martinez may have been raised in a gun culture of Florida, which has seen its share of gun violence with the Orlando nightclub shootings, the Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy and the fatalities at the Jacksonville video game competition days after a fatal shooting at a high school football game in the same city. The mother of Seattle second baseman Dee Gordon was shot to death in Florida as the victim of domestic violence when Gordon was 6 years old. Martinez and Mike Napoli are the most prominent baseball products of Charles Flanagan High School in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Flanagan and Stoneman Douglas are Miami area baseball powerhouses that played each other twice this year after the February shootings. http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/stoneman-douglas-eagles-(parkland,fl)/baseball/schedule.htm

    This continent has been inhabited for 17,000 to 90,000 years, depending on the estimate, but the dominant English language in the United States is from another continent and arrived less than 500 years ago. I suspect the U.S. may have the highest percentage of monolinguists of any country in the world (in part because of the wide spread of English in commerce).

    Don't mess with J.D. Martinez: https://nypost.com/2018/08/27/red-sox-stars-controversial-hitler-and-gun-instagram-surfaces/ ... at least with the 25-year-old J.D. Martinez.

    The Red Sox apparently have the highest winning percentage of any professional team in MLB-affiliated baseball: https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/40037140_1949690208424263_6523972240776626176_n.png?_nc_cat=0&oh=6d6cc99abe32ad8800dd74587000e58e&oe=5BEE422D My local short-season Class A team is second.

    I had enough confidence in young Shane Bieber to include the 23-year-old righthander in my fantasy lineup against the Red Sox.

    The Red Sox have an 82.38 (.698) record overall, 19-11 (.633) in one-run games and 28-9 (.757) in blowout games (of 5+ margins). https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BOS/2018-schedule-scores.shtml The Orioles have a 37-88 (.296) record overall, 11-23 (.324) in one-run games and 10-24 (.294 in blowout games. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BAL/2018-schedule-scores.shtml

    This Mariner fan was about to write the same thing. I suspect a team's record in one-run games should regress to that club's record in games decided by more than one run. This year's Red Sox should have a better record in one-run games than the Orioles do.

    The Seattle season has been an all-time "anomaly," according to FanGraphs columnist Jeff Sullivan: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-mariners-still-look-like-an-all-time-anomaly/

    I witnessed Oliver Perez's MLB debut against the Seattle Mariners on Father's Day 2002 in San Diego: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SDN/SDN200206160.shtml Perez outdueled fellow lefty Jamie Moyer.

    Seattle had been a very luck team. The luck has run out.

    And one could argue that the Athletics have posted their record in a tougher division. The other teams in Boston's division have a combined record of 231-261 (.470) while the other clubs in Oakland's division have a combined record of 263-234 (.529).

    To be precise, Seattle is 24-22 since the Mariners last played the Red Sox: https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/SEA/2018-schedule-scores.shtml After last night's walk-off balk, the Mariners are 31-16 (.660) in one-run games, the Athletics are 26-10 (.722) and the Red Sox are 19-10 (.655).

    And six years of 23-year-old outfielder Austin Meadows probably headlined that trade.

    The Rays can look forward to five more years of Tyler Glasnow, who turns 25 years old in five days.

    This year Jose Ramirez has played in the field only at third base, which has an fWAR position adjustment of +2.5 runs (not the +7.5 runs at shortstop but more than the -7.5 runs in right field): https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/explaining-win-values-part-three/
