Milton Bradley credited Reed Johnson for a verbal kick in the butt that got him going Monday night.
Johnson said Tuesday that one of the things he told Bradley was to shrug off a bad call by the plate umpire.
"I told him, if you get behind in the count 0-1, you've got to believe in yourself that you're a good enough player to overcome one bad call in an at-bat," Johnson said. "If you fall behind because an umpire, you think, makes a bad call, that doesn't mean you have to shut down your at-bat and that at-bat is over."
