Most importantly

In his one inning of Major League pitching, Pena pitched the ninth inning. Everyone knows that is the hardest inning to pitch. End of game stuff. Grit. Gamer.

Granted this is the smallest of small sample sizes but 15 MPH differance between teh hard and soft stuff is encourageing. Now if he just doesn’t tip it too much.

switching to pitcher this late in his career is an almost surefire recipe for Tommy John surgery.

Please hit better, Randy Winn.

The Giants are just trying to gain support for public health care. See Dallas McPherson, Tony Pena

Seems plenty reasonable.

Matt Cain: throwing complete game shutouts since 06'. No big deal.

And I suppose because he’s an ‘expert’ and ‘works in the field’ you’re just going to believe what he says?

Utter frustration and futility.

If you start learning to throw like a pitcher at a very young age, condition your arm like a pitcher at a very young age, don’t do it like that, then try and change what your muscle memory is used to at a much older age, doesn’t it just seem like a recipe for a problem. Especially when pitching is kind of just that anyway?
