San Francisco Giants at Milwaukee Brewers, Apr 4, 2008 11:05 AM PDT
I usually forget the afternoon games that are in different time zones, so I'm writing this several days in advance. And you saps think you're getting fresh content? Oh, my. I didn't think it was possible to have less respect for my readership, but your gullible ways have proven me wrong.
Note to self: Edit this post before it goes live.

Yea..
But mainly pitchers, especially younger players, will go with their catcher, especially early in the game. You'll see that more in tight late inning situations.

If you told me you had a pitcher with great stuff, who racked up lots of K's and was extremely dominant in stretches, but walked a few too many guys, and often let innings get out of control with seemingly no idea how to stem the tide, I'd say you had a short reliever on your hands.
Obviously, Sanchez still has time to fix his flaws, but you have to wonder if that's will ultimately be his best role.

Senor Sanchez
Noticed at around PC of 65 that Sanchez velocity had dropped from 92-94mph to about 88-90mph. He had been mainly a reliever the last 2 yrs and could use some seasoning as a starter. Possibly SF will send him to Fresno to continue to become a starter and stretching out his arm.

I'm not saying, but just saying...
the pitch Molina hit out was really, really, low and away. And he slightly pulled it. It just doesn't seem like, um, the ordinary way that balls get hit out. Just saying. But I'm not saying. You know.
