Ok, maybe it wasn't quite sixteen , but if we're pulling off the Dontrelle/Bruce metaphors, it's probably either that or Die Hard With a Vengeance ... Our newest recruit pitched quite possibly the ugliest six inning shutout I've seen in quite some time, with five hits, four walks and a hit batter - but by the end, it was six zeroes that had gone up on the board.
