Bruce Chen attempts 10 pickoffs during one at-bat | Big League Stew - Yahoo! Sports
LOL! I remember watching an Angels game 2 years ago where the pitcher on the mound threw to first base about 6 times during one at bat. He didnt pick the runnner off and eventually he stole second. It made that inning so boring and frustrating.

Aw, c'mon, Chen! That seemed to be the general feeling at Target Field on Sunday as Kansas City Royals left-hander Bruce Chen kept watch on Denard Span of the Minnesota Twins during the first inning. Chen kept a real close watch, in fact, throwing over to first base a total of 10 times during Jamey Carroll's at-bat after Span had drawn a leadoff walk.
The sequence ended anticlimactically, as Chen did not pick off Span, who did not even try to steal second base, instead reaching there on Carroll's bleeding single to shallow left. Chen continued to have trouble in the first, and Minnesota put up four runs on the way to a 7-4 victory.
