    Some debate about this.

    I have heard some say he has lost a couple tics off his fastball the last couple years... then there are those that say no he can bring it 96-98 but he has to be in the pen.

    Personally, his command is such ****, I don’t know that it matters.

    Other than Dontrelle Willis, I cannot think of another youngish pitcher I have seen fall so quickly and so completely as Sanchez has.

    Whoa. That K was the worst pitch I've seen Alvarez swing at.

    Likely will homer next AB, so no worries.

    So much for the pitcher's duel of the first 3 innings.

    Jeezus, Sanchez, tee it up for him why don't you. Not a good night for starting pitchers.

    On this road trip, the rule is if your offense fights its way back, you as the pitcher must immediately give it up again

    This team can look like they are unbeatable one day but then look like the bad news bears another

    Is it a coincidence that the pitching has looked like crap this road trip since Strom ain't around?
