There's no way to describe the start to Jackie Bradley Jr.'s season other than "disappointing," so we won't.
Headed into Wednesday's game, Bradley is hitting a mere .200/.277/.360, an overall performance that's among the 20 worst of the 228 hitters with as many plate appearances as he has. Two years ago, his line was 21 percentage points better than the Major League average. Last year, it was 18 points better. This year, it's 35 points worse. Of the dozen Red Sox hitters with 50 plate appearances, Bradley has been the least effective.
That's bad; no way around it.
