Shea: Pitchers taking BP
This is such a cool time of day, in the stadium.
The pitchers are out 
taking batting practice, dropping down bunts, hanging out around the cage, and in the case of Oliver Perez, slightly dancing to the music that is blaring from the stadium’s speakers.
It’s always interesting to watch these guys practice – not play, but practice – in the same way that it would be interesting to listen to Eric Clapton practice chords, or watch Ernest Hemingway work on his penmanship.
To me, the ability to hit a baseball is amazing – to these guys, it’s just what they do, even the pitchers.
By the way, Mike Pelfrey actually has a pretty good swing – and he seems proud of it.
Also, Perez just pulled a ball on to the warning track in right field, which is something you don’t see every day.
