Bradley strikes out and gets to first. but was very lucky cuz he did not run initially as he was arguing with the ump
LOL

Am I the only
One who failed to see where Bradley was arguing?
"Do you want a bunch of duds walking around with their shoulders slumped and having no emotions, no feelings?" Bradley said. "I don’t think the fans want that. I think they want a guy who’s going to get into the game and feel a little bit. I’ve always said, ‘I don’t really play baseball, I feel it.’ "

Again
He was looking at his bat and walking to the dugout. He didn’t speak and didn’t look at the umpire. Just because the announcers say so doesn’t make it so.

Another pitch low and outside and he didn't swing. Good. 1-1.

Fox did a game between the Cubs and Cardinals a few years ago,
And in said game, Daryle Ward hit a grand slam. They referred to it as a “Chicago-style salami” (as if that makes any sense).
The announcers for Fox in this game were also very pro-Cardinal. Does anyone know who called that game for Fox?

What I don't get
Why are baseball players so fragile? It is not an extremely physical/contact sport. The slightest bump and a player is out for two weeks. I watch college basketball and players get slammed to the hardwood, bounce up and run across the court. The play several games a week and do not wear pads. A baseball player sneezes and they are on the DL. It is so frustrating.

i think its the general stop/start nature of the game
you stretch before the game, but then you sit around, stand around and then have very powerful movements. you are bound to pull/tear/‘tweak’ something with that sort of movement. if players stretched more within the game, you could prevent a lot probably

So much stop and go
A lot of chance to (with apologies to Tim McC) tweak a muscle.

1. They play almost every day.
2. When there is action it is from pretty much a dead stop to as fast as possible,er, as fast as possible.
3. Swinging uses some weird muscles most players don’t work out.
4. That ball is freakin’ hard
