| 25th May, 2009 - 4:04 pm | ESPN - Cubs right fielder Milton Bradley believes that umpires are widening his strike zone, which is forcing him to swing at bad pitches.
Bradley was suspended one game last month after an argument with umpire Larry Vanover.
"Unfortunately, I just think it's a lot of 'Oh, you did this to my colleague,' or 'We're going to get him any time we can,' " Bradley told the Chicago Tribune. "As soon as he gets two strikes, we're going to call whatever and see what he does. Let's try to ruin Milton Bradley.'
"It's just unfortunate. But I'm going to come out on top. I always do."
Bradley said he won't change his hitting strategy.
"What am I supposed to do?" he said. "You lead the American League in OPS [in 2008], and two years in the top three in the league in on-base percentage. All of a sudden now, I come to Chicago and I can't see the ball no more? I don't know a strike from a ball?
"I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. There's a lot involved, and it's a lot of politics where there's nothing you can do about it." [READ] |
