I've never understood this comment. That's the best pitch to hit... after a guy has struggled throwing strikes to a couple of hitters, you're almost always going to see a good pitch to drive on the first pitch.

I'm not feeling too good about this game right now, too many chances squandered already. Hopefully we can take advantage of the pen, and continue to dominate their bats.

Panda dude pops out to Rolen.

Or swing at a pitch that misses because you're trying too hard to hit something that isn't there. Not sure which was the case here, but Bruce didn't get ahold of it like we'd like.

No problem swinging at the first pitch, but you better drive it and not pop it up like Bruce did.

Homer makes Baby Buster look silly.

Have confidence.

I believe Bailey is nearly perfect on 1st pitch strikes tonight....

Goes a long way right there!

I have confidence, just wish we could have put more across already, we've had the chance to have 3 or 4 on the board.

It certainly doesn't mean it will wind up in a good result, but you're a lot more likely to see a hittable strike on that first pitch, and sometimes you can sit dead-red on it too.
