Gotta hand it to the pen on this W. Any time you have Price pitching and the .167 Bradley in the lineup, it’s a gift of a victory.

The fact that Cora insists on playing Bradley which inevitably results in not playing Moreland is tantamount to managerial malfeasance.  If Bradley needs to work out his hitting issues in the lineup, let that lineup be with Pawtucket.  Bradley will never make the needed adjustments to batting style while in the relative comfort of the major leagues.  He needs to face the reality that unless he improves at the plate he is a minor leaguer.

Bradley had two days to work out his hitting problems,
after last nite, let's see if Cora gives him more time to
work by himself.

I think one poster said it best.  He's absolutely uncoachable.  Lavangie, Bannister, maybe not even Cora, if he's tried, can get inside his head.
