Couldnt pick just one today, I'm more excited about Kopech's start today, but Barnes re-fueled my excitement for him this ST.

Salem rained out. DH tomorrow with Gunkel starting the nightcap.

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

A BB and 3 Ks as well.

His production reminds me of Bradley's early career.

He barely has to hit to be a 3+ win player. K-rates normalize after about 60 PAs. He's down to 16% after 25.

Well, he didn't last year, and he wasn't a 3+ win player.

That is not how it works.

Got it; thanks.
So, last year, Tim Britton wrote that the closed stance was bad for JBJ, and the open stance allowed him to be more of a contact hitter, and that he changed between the open/closed stance repeatedly -- www.providencejournal.com/sports/red-sox/content/20140625-going-back-to-old-stance-paying-dividends-for-jackie-bradley-jr..ece

I'm not sure if a couple of stills gives us much? I'm not a scout, these things are beyond me, and I don't really know how often Bradley changes his stance or what is good for him, of course.
