Ooohhh brother! Jonathan Sanchez had one of those nights he would rather forget. Even he would likely say it was ugly. In 2 2/3 innings he through 81 pitches. Not only has this going to cause the Giants to be down 6-0, but adds additional strain on the bull pen, especially since long relief has been an issue for the Giants. To compare, the Diamondbacks', Dan Harden has through 38 in 3 innings.
Jonathan Sanchez will shrug this one off. He was struggling with all his pitches. Pitching is mental, so he will bounce back in his next start.
Please let this game end. There is always tomorrow.

It would have been so sweet if Sanchez could have followed Cain's gem with a strong outing of his own, but alas, he sucked pretty badly.
Our young starters are the heart and soul of our team his year. Cain and Sanchez are "works in progress" but Lincecum appears to have sprung fully formed from the head of Zeus. Or something like that.
brother bob:
You could be on to something...Timmy possibly is a god or at least a deity sent to use in order to take the Giants to the promise land. Only after being the faithfuls are tested and scarifies are made. Lincecum could possible be Caerus, the youngest child of Zeus...God of luck and opportunity. The boyish appearance is deceiving to hitters. He is lucky because, though limited, he receives the best run support. Regarding opportunity, well, his season speaks for it’s self.
Sanchez, even though he imploded last night, he has been surprisingly better that expected. The true test, “work in Progress,” is what he takes from it and bounces back in his next start.
Just a few hours till game time. Today will be a real showdown between he and Webb. Once again Lincecum needs to be able to go deep into the game in order to rest the pen and allow Wilson’s to get his 28 save of the season. We will see if Lincecum will be standing on top of Mount Olympus at the end of the day.
