Jackie Bradley Jr. Is Simply The Best

Having JBJ in centerfield is like coming home, wrapping yourself up in the warmest blanket you own, putting on your favorite show that you’ve already watched 1,000 times and then falling asleep on the couch. That level of comfort and security is exactly what you want out of your Gold Glove centerfielder and it’s exactly how I’ve felt since 2013. I never for a second thought this ball was going to land anywhere but JBJ’s glove from the second contact was made. If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times, Jackie’s batting average will forever be irrelevant as long as he’s this much of a weapon defensively.
