Arizona Diamondbacks need to send Archie Bradley to the minors to work out command problem

Diamondbacks General Manager Mike Hazen needs to send Archie Bradley down to the minors.

Bradley is the face of the team, but he’s not getting it done.

He needs a chance to find himself, and his stuff, which he apparently left in 2017.

During that break-out season, Bradley was one of the most dominant relief pitchers in baseball.

He allowed only 14 earned runs all year. He had a 1.73 ERA. He thrived under pressure.

This season, he’s allowed 12 earned runs already. He’s got a 4.68 ERA. And he’s been giving up walks, hits and home runs at an alarming rate.
