He had two strikes on him and he was protecting the plate.  He has not looking to pull the ball.  Don't let facts get in the way of your narrative.

Caught stealing followed by a HR, how very Twinsesque....

This thing has really gone down the toilet in the last few weeks, hasn’t it?

I have looked at Taj Bradley's last few starts. It seems like his stuff is there he's just not locating, and executing his pitches early in the count. When he's behind in the count it seems like he gets predictable and hangs some cookies that the hitters don't miss.

 

He has been better tonight, that hit by Greene was a good pitch, but I think hitters are catching on to him. IMO

The curveball to Dingler he hung though.

Again, two strikes, you protect the plate, the pitch was not that far outside.  And he has been letting more of those low and outside pitches go since his call up.  We need more production from him, but I am seeing changes and being honest about it.

This is who Bradley is…. he should be better than he is, and occasionally will string a few nice starts together to give you hope but he has little command of the zone. He’s a chucker that throws balls at the plate and when not throwing strikes is not very good. Tampa gave him every opportunity to stay in the rotation, what we are seeing is why they gave up.

You’re probably right. The 2026 Twins are the perfect team to keep trying him as a SP. The Rays have bigger ambitions like winning the AL East and advancing deep in the playoffs. We’re gonna lose more than win games this year.

Yes it was. I dont know why the last 5 starts he's just not throwing the ball well. No velo drop but it's almost like the hitters have done their homework on him and he's gotten predictable.

Whatever it may be, it’s concerning. 0 HRs given up in his first 5 starts. 8 and counting in his next 7 starts. 

Pitchers are streaky just like hitters ...

Maybe he can regroup and throw some scoreless innings , they hit him hard in second inning  ...

Agree, I would keep running him out… but I don’t expect much different. He’ll have his moments , but his control is the issue, always has been.

Now I could get on board with an exploration of a Bell trade after that game tying shot. Maybe we could get a Hoey.
