On this date in 1975, Giants pitcher John "The Count" Montefusco predicts that he will shut out the Reds and strike out Johnny Bench four times.
He was a little off as the Reds score seven* runs in 1 1/3 innings off Montefusco with three of the runs coming on a Bench homer. The Reds win, 11-6.
Evidently, he did not "count" on the "tipped pitches" thing.
Throw a curveball the same way you throw a fastball!
*"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7" says The Count!

As a Giants fan I shouldn't be making fun of this, but it wasn't a smart move for John to pop off like that
Probably falls into the "good rule of thumb" category.
