Barrera doesn't have any patience. See a pitch or two, my goodness. If you're a pitcher not sure why you would even throw a strike early in the count because he's going to swing. 

The good news is Hinojosa seems to be back.

Hello sports fans. 

Just got in from my afternoon at the ball field and supper.

Looks like we just need to take care of business here in the 14th with 1 down.

Bring it home Cotcher.
