Milton Bradley Meltdown Lottery - veryzer - 04-07-2009
he dropped an easy flyball in the ninth inning. if he stays on his feet, he catches it. then he did an unnecessary cartwheel.

Bradley is universally considered a plus defender on the corners, so I'm not worried about his defense. I'm worried about him breaking himself on plays like the picture Kid just posted.

Yeah, that's why I'd prefer to take him out of the games in the 7th inning on if we can afford to do it. And like last night, like Fukudome or not, he's a damn good right fielder, better than Bradley. I'd like to see a lot of a Gathright in CF and Fuk in RF in the late innings. Now if it's a close game that Milton's bat can make a difference in still, by all means leave him in.

Fuk will get plenty of playing time in RF, unfortunately.

He tried to catch it, he was just playing too deep. Probably a product of not playing CF in a little while, I'm not concerned with his D.

I can see why Lou left in Bradley. At numerous points in the 9th inning, we were one swing away from a tie ballgame. Had that happened, would you want to go into extra innings with Bradley's bat (and he was due up), or Fuk's?
'Nuff said.

Yup, that's my biggest problem with putting Gathright in CF and moving Fuk to RF late in the game.

A 3 run lead is plenty big enough to take that risk.

The reason why they were within one swing was because Bradley didnt catch a ball that Fuk would have.

I may have to up my prediction. Milton has been pure ass and I'm sure he's getting frustrated...
Milton Bradley Meltdown Lottery - veryzer - 04-08-2009
yeah, he's been brutal in two games. last night he struck out swinging at ball four and hit into a crucial double play. the night before he's swinging at a 3-0 pitch and dropping a fairly easy flyball. not good.

At least he wasn't doing it at home, bro. He's pressing too, that's easy to see.
