    No.

    I am not currently for moving JBJ into the top 5 slots. This is a tiny sample size.

    I don't think anything will work. We are headed towards a sub .500 season, at best, and maybe the worst record in MLB.

    The cliff is here as predicted by some.

    Jeez moon, we were just talking about JBJ's spot in the lineup. Everything doesn't have to be about the cliff. Congrats though.

    I disagree with you saying nothing will work....So youre saying we should just give up then?

    The modest offensive success Bradley has had over his 7 big league seasons has come at the bottom of the line-up. When he has moved up, the results have been very poor (admittedly SSS).
    I wouldnt give up on him just for that.....Who else is a good lead off hitter on this team? Benintendi cant hit the ball, Peraza doesnt know Fenway Park and how to run bases there yet lol......Its a 60 game season...They dont have time to wait for their regulars to start hitting

    Saying nothing will work is not saying we should give up.

    We should try anything that makes sense to help us win as many games as possible.

    My guess is, we will be one of the worst teams in MLB, this year. Our pitching sucks.

    BTW, JBJ is 1 for his last 9, so moving people around based on 3 good games is usually not my idea of a good move. I was for moving him up, last year, after he was hot for over 10 games. It's not like I'm never for moving hot players up.

    Does anyone know why JBJs not playing today? Is it really a good time to start sitting him in a 60 game season?

    We also have Peraza leading off right now....Had trouble running the bases at Fenway....I think Bradley is probably the best base runner on the team(fastest at least)...Id rather take one more chance on him I think than Peraza but it is what it is

    Yes, that is funny.

    He's actually 8 for 20:

    7 for his first 9 (.778)
    1 for his last 11 (.091)

    Yes, and Moreland and Beni, as well as JBJ have had some pretty bad numbers vs lefties over their career and recently.

    Moreland .671 vs LHPs career/.598 in 2019
    JBJ .672 career/ .640 in 2020
    Beni .693 career/ .796 last year

    Because of the shortened season, JBJ will have shorter hot and cold streaks.
