I like Jackie Bradley Jr. and do feel that what he brings to the team on defense is well worth keeping him around. Some people have a magic batting average they want him to hit to verify his worth. Wanting to see how his usually quiet bat influences the outcome of games, I looked at something neither Baseball Reference or Fangraphs could give me outright.

Before the dust settled on the NFL upholding Julian Edelman’s 4 game suspension, people began chirping that it might actually be good since he’s coming off a torn ACL.

David Ortiz launched a lot of pitches over the wall against teams throughout his career. When the Yankees moved into their new home, Ortiz continued his dominance with 15 homers in the new stadium. Without David’s bat in the lineup it sure seems like the Red Sox are one of the few teams who doesn’t hit well in New York. With the Red Sox spending the weekend in the Bronx, I decided to take a closer look at their scoring in NY.

First of all, let me apologize for my huge delay in sharing pictures and some stories from round 2.

Today and tomorrow I’ll be hanging out at Rhode Island Country Club taking in some golf. Today is the Pepsi Celebrity Pro-Am where some regular Joes like me and you are playing in 5-somes with some former New England greats. With the morning round in the books, here are some observations. If you wish you knew about this event earlier, you need to check out my other website www.TimeOut4Charity.com.
