Oh Those Hit Batters!
Victor Santos hits Scott Rolen in the first inning of the Cardinals/Pirates game, and Rolen comes around to score on a Encarnacion single. Now that's a reason to get upset at a pitcher.
Update: Jose Bautista continues to impress, hitting his seventh home run of the season in the bottom of the first to put the Pirates up 2-1. His stats are way out of line with the rest of his career, in a good direction. Possible reasons:
- Anything can happen in 100 AB.
- He's hitting his peak (age 26) and is finally getting playing time.
- Artificial means.
- They have a good batting coach in Pittsburgh.
He did have decent minor league numbers.

Wow, he was on 4 major league teams in 2004? That's impressive in and of itself.
