Matt Cain - Pregame Notes As Cain Strives For Perfection Again - Lineups

ANAHEIM Matt Cain had a busy afternoon in this working hours previous to tossing the first try to sell at Angel Stadium.

He filmed a new Top Ten variety for that David Letterman show things to perform that really he is cast a great game, using "pitch a good inning without having pants on" included in this after which you can approved a Samurai sword from your Japanese carrying around products company. I have got to imagine may well make boss Bruce Bochy uneasy to understand in which Cain make it possible for left-hander Jeremy Affeldt contain the sword. No digits had been lost inside the process, though.

How does Bochy sense in relation to Cain involved in countless actions on his daytime in order to pitch?

"With Matt, it truly is certainly not going to become an issue," Bochy said. "He can handle it. He's consequently even keel, even throughout his or her great game. He appeared to be talking throughout the dugout greater than everyone else. He hit your golf shot 340 (yards, prior to Wednesday's excellent game). So I'm not concerned about that with Matty."

Bochy agreed of which Cain can be fashioning his or her candidacy definitely not just to generate this NL All-Star company but to be able to start off that game. He pointed out your Mets' R.A. Dickey seeing that one more worthwhile candidate.

No main surprises in the lineup. Bochy explained Pablo Sandoval will be good following getting spiked with Seattle on Sunday. He just simply wanted for you to format that club that way versus right-hander Jerome Williams.

Bochy mentioned he or she blueprints to be able to DH Buster Posey plus commence Hector Sanchez during catcher on Tuesday, when the Giants send Barry Zito in order to face other quirky left-hander C.J. Wilson. The program is to acquire Melky Cabrera off of his foot as the actual DH upon Wednesday, with Nate Schierholtz starting in the particular outfield.

The Angels will probably modify their establishing pitcher pertaining to Wednesday's sequence finale. Jered Weaver can come from the DL and also start out besides Dan Haren. Weaver might be minimal in order to approximately 80 pitches as he or she profits from some sort of drained lessen back, Angels administrator Mike Scioscia said.

One final note: Robb Nen is actually here in addition to enjoyed hooking up with customers with the learning staff. Nen lives inside Orange County and he or she admitted there may be quite a few unease by using walking towards Angel Stadium, when this individual threw his or her final big league pitch within the 2002 World Series. Nobody recognized it on the time, but Nen's shoulder appeared to be shredded any time he / she lost the battle a 2 bottle to help Troy Glaus that concluded the actual Angels' comeback inside their stunning Game 6 wining en method to their first championship.

The current Giants don't have a connection to that team. I advised Brandon Belt that the Rally Monkey has under no circumstances met your Baby Giraffe before. He have zero plan what exactly I ended up being discussing about.

The lineups:

RF Blanco 2B Theriot LF Cabrera C Posey CF Pagan DH Sandoval 1B Belt SS Crawford 3B Arias P Cain

CF Trout RF Hunter 1B Pujols DH Morales LF Trumbo 3B Callaspo 2B Izturis SS Aybar C Wilson P Williams
