An example IMO took place just yesterday between the Reds and Dbacks, not saying B. Arroyo is a Roy or Cliff, but that line kept dropping and I think by first pitch it was almost down to a pk so Reds' backers got Arroyo and the hot Reds' bats, coming off a loss, against the Dbacks at nearly a pk; Reds won comfortablly.
