True To Form

Sanchez gets smacked through three innings of work. I expected a loss, honestly, but that was because Haren was pitching oppposite; not because Sanchez is as horrible as appeared last night, or because the Diamondback offense does this very often.

But it does beg the question as to why Sanchez is second in the rotation. Oh that's right: we have Zito and Correia. But why not Timmy the Kid instead? Probably because this would happen no matter when Sanchez would pitch, because everyone has bad days. And I don't want to hear about the meager Giant offense... no one can reasonably expect any team to allow 10 runs and still win.

Some bright spots: Lewis went 2-5, while Castillo was a surprising 2-4; S.F. left the same amount of people on base as AZ, 15, meaning that theoretically we're just as effective offensively as the team that thrashed us last night.

That's all for now.
