Is Bradley a problem?

"Who Cares"?

There are a couple of patterns emerging similar to pitcher Carlos Perez, formerly a pitcher with the Dodgers.

Milton had his mutliple bat breaking escapade during the exhibition season, Carlos Perez took out a water cooler in the infamous water cooler beating incident that gets played over and over on ESPN.

Perez had off the field mystery incidences that appear related to drinking, Bradley had his drunken birthday binge...

My concern is if Bradley is upset at his performance after a game, but the team won, just how upset should he be?

We constantly hear about athletes who say they'd rather go 0-4 and win, than go 4-4 and lose. Quantify Bradley's behavior based on that tried and true passage.

Who cares! What I want is results. How long do we wait for them? We didn't wait long enough on Sexon, too long on Branyon! Now is the time to bench Travis and play someone else at third and use someone else at DH and trade Burks,leave Bradley in center and Magruder in the outfield.
Its Skinners time to make decisions and get this team prepared for growth. I would like to see Thome finish his career in Cleveland and Vizquel too. As for Magruder He is just happy to be in The BIG SHOW! I would be smiling too!

Colavito, that rates four stars!

I think you're making a quick assumption because he hasn't flashed his pearly whites to you. I want a guy with fire that wants to do well and have his team do well. I don't want aguy with a dumbass smirk on his face, just happy to be in the show. The guy is young and wound up, he will learn his lessons give him time, he is working at his game.

Well, he had an ear-to-ear grin after that grand slam. So did I. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

So now the game is over and we lost. Bradley, who hit what could have been the game-winning grandslam, has to go back to being dower and somber.

If Bradley is still happy, then he values stats over all else. If he is dower, than he is in his typical somber funk that eventually can drag a team down because "Why should he be dower, he played well?"

That makes two grand slams for Bradley this year, or is it one?

Two, and counting.

I wonder how Bradley felt hitting three doubles with runners on first and second each time, and each time the guy on first only made it to third.

If that had been Albert Belle getting those doubles...!!!

Anyway, Bradley had a great game, but the team lost, in the locker room is Bradley Mr. Grimace, or Mr. Happy?

If he's still Mr. Grimace, OUCH, he had a great game, and he's still not happy. If he is happy, yet the team lost, that doesn't seem appropriate either.

I'm happy he had such a great game, I just hope he's equally good whether he's intense or not.
