[176-7082] Youkilis fields it on the hop......
Perhaps he was hiding behind the third base umpire.......


Another instance where the article a/an should be included with the pitch description:
Brown fanned on a [317-8936] off-speed pitch
Deleted object 7201 and looked at the objects in category 200 to be sure others didn't lead to the same problem. (I found another one to get rid of.)

Not sure what can be done about the a/an problem. I don't think embedding the article in the pitch description token is a good idea, because there'll be lots of times when you just want the name of the pitch without an article in front of it.
