As most expected, Bruce Bochy has named Hector Sanchez as the game 3 starting catcher and Buster Bosey will get a day off from the field as the teams designated hitter. Other candidates for the DH spot could have included Aubrey Huff, Xavier Nady or Joaquin Arias playing third and Pablo Sandoval serving as the DH. However, Huff has chronically bad knees and Arias has hit much better off of lefties than righties. With Anibal Sanchez, another right hander starting for the Tigers, this looks to be another rather easy and smart choice for the Giants skipper who has not had many mistakes this postseason.
My first real mistake, it sounds like Sanchez will DH and Posey will catch tomorrow and the roles could be reversed Sunday.
