for Giants Finding a rested,
worthy starting pitcher would be tough task
BY DAVE SHEININ Congressional opinion leaders
arlington, tex. — Should the World Series reach a decisive Game 7 for the first time in eight years, the San Francisco Giants could find themselves scrambling for a starting pitcher. Here are their options: l LHPJonathanSanchez.After
starting and losing Saturday night’s Game 3, he is lined up to startGame7.However,hisvelocity was noticeably diminished Satur- day, and Giants pitching coach DaveRighetti admitted afterward that the team was concerned about fatigue and would have to consider other alternatives for Game 7.
