Mount Bradley Erupts - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Did anyone see Milton Bradley's meltdown last night? He gets tossed (no big deal, but it was a 1-0 game) and proceeds to leave his gloves, helmet and bat in the box then he has a major tantrum. He takes a bag of balls and throws it on the ground and then throws another ball to the warning track. What an asshole. Dude needs anger management big time.

That's a great fucking picture.

Bradley loses cool, Dodgers lose game vs. Brewers

Quote:

LOS ANGELES -- Not even a tantrum by Dodgers center fielder Milton Bradley could put a damper on Doug Davis' outing for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Davis pitched six scoreless innings on three days' rest in place of an ailing Ben Sheets, leading the Brewers over Los Angeles 4-1 Tuesday night.

Scott Podsednik led off the game with a home run, and Davis (4-4) allowed just four hits with three strikeouts and two walks. The left-hander also escaped a bases-loaded jam in the third, helping end the Dodgers' three-game winning streak.

"I didn't really feel any different out there," Davis said, who couldn't remember ever pitching on three days' rest before. "I got in trouble in the second and third innings because I was trying to rush and make the perfect pitch.

"The game wouldn't even have been close -- they would have wiped us out -- if (coach) Rich Dauer didn't have the guys playing where they were playing," Davis said. "I don't know how many times I swore at myself because I thought it was going to be a base hit, and then looked behind me and somebody knocked it down. It was amazing."

Davis was moved up a day in the rotation because Sheets had a viral infection that caused inflammation in his inner ear. It prevented his scheduled rematch with Jeff Weaver, who he outdueled for a 3-1 win Thursday at Milwaukee.

Bradley was ejected by home plate umpire Terry Craft moments after stepping into the batter's box to lead off the sixth.

He also got kicked out of the Arizona Fall League after punching an ump.

He's just pissed off that his name is Milton Bradley. What the hell is wrong with his parents?

Halx · 06-02-2004, 02:55 PM

I was watching the game when that happened. It was stunningly amusing. It's not like it changed the game or anything, but it was pretty tacky.

Lord knows what happened. He stepped up to the plate before the inning even began and the ump threw him out.

kutulu · 06-02-2004, 03:16 PM

In his previous AB, he was upset about the calls. He ended up getting a hit in that AB but was still pissed. He was yelling at the ump from the dugout and before his AB began the ump said something along the lines of "watch what you're saying" That's why Tracy said he was provoked. Who knows if Tracy actually thought he was provoked but he's the manager and has to stand up for his players.

Argueing balls and strikes + having a bad rep with umps = short leash.

in other news.. Jim Tracy acts like a peacock when he argues with the refs.. it's hilarious. That man couldn't convince me he was mad if he shot my mother.

Makes you miss Tommy Lasorda even more. Man, Tommy could take it to the umps like no other.

Now people can truly see why we traded Bradley for "prospects" in Cleveland. He's a headcase. What's really sad is he is very talented but he just can't get a handle on his temper. Putting him in L.A. where the spotlight is 100 times greater than Cleveland was idiotic and will make his attitude worse.

He reminds me of Joey er Albert Belle. Another class act in Cleveland. The only difference between the 2 is Bradley unfortunately didn't have Hargrove and Hart in office like Belle had. Hargrove and Hart knew how to handle talent and the psyche of those who had problems. Hart would have never gotten rid of Bradley. He'd let Bradley perform and as long as he did, Hart wouldn't do a thing to the man.

However, history shows that Hart's method of letting the player do "his thing" led to short careers or potential that burnt out and fizzled once they left Cleveland.

Out of the great 90's Cleveland teams only 2 have played as well outside of Cleveland. Not Belle, not Lofton, Not Baerga, not Sandy Alomar, and Colon really hasn't (he has mental problems being "an ace"). Mesa could be argued but it took him a few years outside of Cleveland to get back what talent he had here.

Even Robbie Alomar and Matt Williams suffered after their stays in Cleveland and weren't the same once they left. It's why Omar refuses to be traded, in Cleveland he flourishes outside of Cleveland he'll be a flop.

Thome and Manny are the only 2. And Manny still hasn't performed to his fullest potential (he's injured and misses big games and is getting really flaky.)

Giles, Casey, Graves and Sexton don't count as they were traded before truly showing their talents in the majors. Some of the stupidest baseball trades ever involved those men. Cleveland had oodles of talent stockpiled and Hart just did not know how to trade talent for talent.

Well I wouldn't put prospects in quotes. LA is known to have the best farm system in the league. Where do you think Paul Lo Duca came from?

Kurant · 06-02-2004, 09:02 PM

Reggie Jackson ring a bell?

I think some of this shit is hilarious to watch. Guys making complete asses out of themselves, just somthing to behold and watch I guess.

Actually the best farm system in the league right now with the best prospects belongs to none other then the Milwaukee Brewers.

"In his previous AB, he was upset about the calls. He ended up getting a hit in that AB but was still pissed. He was yelling at the ump from the dugout and before his AB began the ump said something along the lines of "watch what you're saying" "

then Bradley said something and got tossed, right?

I bet he called the ump a cocksucker.

kudos to whoever gets that reference.

The Brew Crew has a hell of a farm system. AZ has some really nice players too. We pulled one hell of a coup in the 2003 draft, getting Conor Jackson, Carlos Quentin, and Jamie D'Antona. Those three are lighting up the California league like there's no tomorrow. Matt Chico was also a great steal, but he's farther behind those three. All three might end up in AAA by the end of the year. One or two could make it to AZ midseason next year if we're lucky. That's really fast.
