RE: the lousy hitting pitchers discussion. Found these quotes from Jason Bergmann
(6-for-89, .067 BA).
"I was facing John Smoltz in 2007. They made me take the first pitch for strike one. Then I swung at two sliders -- or splitters. I can't tell you what they were.
"All I know is, I saw the ball for one second, I didn't see it the next second and I swung over it twice. I walked back to the bench and said to [St. Claire], 'There's no amount of batting practice I could take to prepare me for that.'"
LOL! Atleast he got a few hits.
