Jonathan Sanchez

There has been no one to jump in and be the stopper this time around. Jonathan Sanchez was the first starter since Matt Cain (6 IP on September 16th), to go more than five-innings, when he got

 A healthy Freddy Sanchez everyday?  A couple of free agent additions. Maybe trade Jonathan Sanchez or, gulp, Matt Cain, for a legit bat?  Goodbye to weak-hitting outfielders Ran

 After Matt Cain and Jonathan Sanchez failed to get the job done over the weekend, let's hope that Penny's role as "stopper" Sunday will turn over a new leaf for the starters. &n

 Hamels tossed a complete game: walking one and striking out nine in 118 pitches. Jonathan Sanchez, meanwhile, was solid over six innings (3 hits, one ER, 3 BB's and 8 K's), dropping his E

 Jonathan Sanchez (the number four starter) is scheduled to go tomorrow.  Are you BACK IN!

 Following Friday night's lone win behind Jonathan Sanchez, San Francisco was actually in all three of the games they lost, and could just as easily WON three of four if not for some faulty pitching.

 After catching the Jonathan Sanchez no-hitter last month, Whiteside launched a grand slam today -- his first career home run -- helping the Giants to a 10-6 victory over the Astros.  San Francisco improves to 60-and-48, taking two of three games ON THE ROAD, and now return home to open a weekend set against Dusty Baker's Cincinnati Reds.  Thursday's off-day, by the way, is the first for the team since the all-star break in mid-July.

ree different Giant relievers -- a rarity this year. 

  Everyone wanted to see how Jonathan Sanchez would perform following his no-hitter July 10th.  Sanchez pitched fairly well:  allowing 3 earned runs on 4 hits, 8 strikeouts and just one walk over 8-innings of work.  Home runs off the bats of Chipper Jones and Garret Anderson were the only real blemishes in an otherwise solid effort.  The uncertainly of Randy Johnson's health status, and the inexperience of Ryan Sadowski in general might lead one to believe that Sanchez is just too valuable to trade at this point.

  JONATHAN SANCHEZ!!!!!  NO-Hitter!  WOW!  Was anyone ready for that?  I am stunned.  Just amazing. Granted, its the San Diego Padres, and not against a more robust hitting line-up.  The first no-no for the Giants since 1976 and the first no-hitter at home since Ed Halicki in 1975.  And, obviously, the first no-hitter EVER at A.T.& T. Park!

 I'm confused about my favorite Giants' lefty Jonathan Sanchez (just kidding of course).  Is he going to ultimately remain a starter?  Can he someday harness his control?  Is he better suited as a reliever?  Does he still have any trade value with only a month to go before the trade deadline?
