    You do realize that hitters don't have the benefit of actually seeing how a pitch turns out prior to making a decision about whether to swing or not?

    And there's also the fact that with an absolute clown like Bucknor behind the plate any pitch not thrown into the on-deck circle could be called a strike.

    CB's a real circus act. He should've been canned years ago.

    Yes I understand that; I'm not an idiot.

    The Reds are swinging at pitches tonight that are no where near the strikezone. For example, Dunn swung at a pitch around his eyes. Freel has chased a couple of pitches near the dirt.

    My guess...Paul Householder
    Ted Tappe.

    I know Deno's first hit was a homer, not sure if it was his 1st PA.

    90 pitches for Pettitte through 4.
    13 pitch inning for him.

    Seven baserunners in three innings and no runs is borderline amazing.

    I think Paul Moskau (starting pitcher) also had a HR as his first hit. Not positive though!

    Almost funny. Keep trying.

    Calling someone an idiot is now legal on RZ?
