Sanchez still hasn’t done any throwing besides playing catch. He hasn’t taken infield, other than just picking up ground balls. He still hasn’t thrown to bases, let alone try to turn the pivot on a double play.
A reminder, from Andrew Baggarly. Probably shouldn't get too excited about the return of Freddy Sanchez, who is supposed to be one-half of the offensive cavalry charging up the hill. Every week we'll probably get a reminder that we'll be seeing a lot of Mike Fontenot, Ryan Theriot, or Manny Burriss in the lineup.

I was wondering when you'd get off your ass
I’m feeling in the mood for a projection of Bochy. Will he ride Belt on the bench so hard that end of season surgery will be needed to remove deeply penetrated splinters?
On a side not, who hasn’t signed up for McC Premium yet? Nude pictorials of Grant!
Aubrey Huff: "My body is ripped."
So is there any justifiable reason for having Burriss on the 25-man roster when the season starts?

“If Freddy is still on the DL,” is the only reason I can think of, and even then I’d rather have Gillaspie.

I've told this story a million times
Had great seats down the right field line. I was dating a French girl at the time, and she’d flown out to San Francisco in order to see me. This was her first baseball game and goddamn if it isn’t difficult to explain baseball. She was doing her best to follow along, but the going was tough. She was mostly on board by the time Renteria got to the plate in the 7th. I went to great lengths in order to explain that a home run here would be a bit of a deal. Sure enough, he connects, and the entire stadium erupts. Her expression of shock told the entire story: “Did he do it?” He did it, baby. Laid a kiss on her, there and then, as AT&T shook all around us.

Yeah, it was pretty interesting.

Proud Papa of right-hander Clayton Blackburn whose pro debut made him look like one of the steals of the 2012 draft, as he allowed just six runs in 33 1/3 innings in the rookie-level Arizona League. Signed by Giants area scout (and former big leaguer) Dan Murray in the 16th round, Blackburn would touch 94-95 mph, sitting in the low 90s, with good feel for locating the pitch, and both his curveball and changeup project as above-average pitches.

Signed by Giants area scout (and former big leaguer) Dan Murray in the 16th round, Blackburn would touch 94-95 mph, sitting in the low 90s, with good feel for locating the pitch, and both his curveball and changeup project as above-average pitches.

The Battle of the Trident happened. Rhaegar was killed by Robert.

The timing of Tower of Joy is kind of messed up. People think it’s an error on GRRMs part and don’t hold him to this timeline. Whatever that means.
Really? I thought it was def meant to happen after everything else. Rhaegar was hiding Lyanna there, along with three members of the Kingsguard and they only found out where she was after everything else had happened.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
I read over on Westeros some time ago how they were picking apart this timeline and came to a conclusion (don’t remember the specifics) that GRRM might have just made a simple mistake.
there are definitely timeline issues

I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
I’m pretty sure there are no timeline issues there. Robert named himself King and sent Stannis to Dragonstone. Ned found out where Lyanna was, along with the three missing members of the Kingsguard, and went off there with Howland Reed and a few others.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

Oh yeah. For some reason I think of Aegon as a kid and Jon older.
Proud parent of SD-born Shane Loux.
If Cain is with us, who can be against us? - atxgiantsfan
No, Aegon is older. Jon was a newborn at the Tower of Joy. Aegon was killed a little bit earlier, so he was born earlier.
The trueborn thing isn’t a big deal because Targs could have multiple wives. If Rhaegar just got some septon to secretly marry him to Lyanna…

if Aegon is for real, and/or Jon is really Rhaegar’s son, she no longer really has the best claim. Unless she marries one of them!

People had this theory before ADWD, but in that book, someone mentions that Aerys was obsessed with Tywin’s wife and was inappropriate during the bedding. People have taken this to mean that at some point, either he raped her or they had a relationship and Tyrion was the result.
I kind of hate the idea, although it offers some interesting parallels (Jaime killed Tyrion’s father, Tyrion killed Jaime’s father).
And then, there are some who think the timeline makes more sense if Aerys is actually Jaime and Cersei’s father (and that explains the incest!)

He pitched in the NL during Randy’s four year run un untouchability, and then went to AL as Pedro passed the torch to Johan.
Between his tandem with RJ in Arizona and winning a ring there, and then the bloody sock game and breaking the curse in Boston, the dude probably has enough intangibles and milestones to be an eventual HoFer.

70 WAR for any pitcher is pretty impressive.
60 is usually borderline.
And FWIW, Fangraphs has him at 86 fWAR.
Usual strawhat criteria for HoFers:
Sufficiently long career √
Peak (namely ‘97-’04) √
Milestones (wins, Ks) √
Narrative (rings, sock) √
He’s not a slam dunk like RJ, but probably the only thing that can him out is his press attitude.

This is a a little disconcerting though
1) Trevor Bauer, RHP, Grade A: I am a total believer, and fully expect Bauer to be a number one starter. I would have picked him over Gerrit Cole. Despite the heavy UCLA workload, I don’t think his risk is any higher than any other pitcher his age, and it could be lower.
2) Tyler Skaggs, LHP, Grade A-: I don’t know what to say here other than he’s really good. Scouting reports are quite strong, numbers excellent, future number two starter although if everything works out. If everything works out (more on that below).
3) Archie Bradley, RHP, Grade A-: I very seldom give a grade like this to a high school pitcher, but I believe in Bradley almost as much as I believe in Bauer. He could be number one on this list a year from now.
4) Andrew Chafin, LHP, Grade B: I’m being more cautious here than with Bradley even though Chafin is a college guy; that’s an instinctual call at this point. He has enough upside to rank higher next year if pro adjustment goes well. Could be number two starter or (at worst) a power reliever.
Cain, Lincecum, and Bumgarner all had A- grades.

One thing you’d notice immediately from this group of younger arms: They are not shrimps. Seems like everyone is threatening to bang their heads on the door frame as they walk out of the clubhouse.
You probably know about Heath Hembree, who throws up the upper, upper 90s. But I’d suggest keeping an eye on Hector Correa, too. He’s got a power sinker that should play well against big league hitters at some point this season.

Yeah, it was only his second year as a reliever, and the previous season was only 40 innings in the Sally league. That he’s progressing quickly is a good sign.
Looks like he might have missed 2009 due to TJ or something, too.

KNEEL, HEATHENS. AND REPENT FOR YOUR SINS
It appears that the faster-than-light neutrino results, announced last September by the OPERA collaboration in Italy, was due to a mistake after all. A bad connection between a GPS unit and a computer may be to blame.
Physicists had detected neutrinos travelling from the CERN laboratory in Geneva to the Gran Sasso laboratory near L’Aquila that appeared to make the trip in about 60 nanoseconds less than light speed. Many other physicists suspected that the result was due to some kind of error, given that it seems at odds with Einstein’s special theory of relativity, which says nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. That theory has been vindicated by many experiments over the decades.
According to sources familiar with the experiment, the 60 nanoseconds discrepancy appears to come from a bad connection between a fiber optic cable that connects to the GPS receiver used to correct the timing of the neutrinos’ flight and an electronic card in a computer. After tightening the connection and then measuring the time it takes data to travel the length of the fiber, researchers found that the data arrive 60 nanoseconds earlier than assumed. Since this time is subtracted from the overall time of flight, it appears to explain the early arrival of the neutrinos. New data, however, will be needed to confirm this hypothesis.

Tim Lincecum (back) took part in normal spring training activities Wednesday in Giants camp.
Lincecum, who skipped Tuesday’s workout due to mild back stiffness, stretched with the team on Wednesday afternoon and played catch with teammate Barry Zito. Giants manager Bruce Bochy is expecting the right-handed ace to throw his regularly scheduled bullpen session on Thursday. The back seems like a non-issue.
