The story.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Rangers scratched All-Star designated hitter Milton Bradley from the lineup Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Angels because of soreness in his left knee.
Texas also put pitcher Vicente Padilla on the 15-day disabled list with a stiff neck, retroactive to Saturday, and recalled right-hander Wes Littleton from Triple-A Oklahoma.

and its always a strike.

It is better

than making an out on the first pitch.

We have to many guys that swing at the first pitch and make a quick out.

seems he got worse

since laird went down and he gets to play more often. i’m sure the numbers don’t back it up, but that’s how it seems

well he was slumping before laird went down

but hes been slumping for the entire salty era thus far so im sure the numbers do back it up.

at least hes thrown out runers since laird went down, but obviously this level of offense from an offensive catcher is unacceptable. hes certainly not seizing his oppurtunity.

that said I still like him long term and think he will snap out of it.

His defense has improved greatly since he got to play every day

But the bat… just not there. And it seems to be getting worse, as he continues to strike out more. I don’t know what needs to be done to fix him, but if he doesn’t get his shit together soon, he’s going to be sent back down.
