You can now add Mitch Talbot to the list of pitchers who have allowed a home run to Miguel Cairo since April 2006. Kevin Correia was getting pretty lonely.

One of the toughest things to do as a pitcher is learn to separate processes from results. Sometimes a bad pitch can lead to a good result because you got lucky, or a good pitch can lead to a bad result because the hitter did a nice job, and it can be really hard to tell when you made a mistake. Other times it's easy to tell.
