The San Francisco Chronicle's Henry Schulman reports San Francisco Giants general manager Brian Sabean defended pitching coach Dave Righetti as some fans have expressed displeasure with his work due to struggles of SP Barry Zito and SP Matt Cain. "I think there's not much basis for the Zito angst because look at how he finished," Sabean said. "He started 0-8. The way he finished had a lot to do with what (Righetti) and (bullpen coach Mark Gardner) did with him when we decided certain changes needed to be made. As far as Cain's concerned ... a lot gets erased when you win games, and we could not ever score five or six runs for him."

Andrew Baggarly, of The Mercury News, reports the San Francisco Giants are trying to get SP Barry Zito back on track. Pitching coach Dave Righetti told Zito to focus on winning with what he has. He wants Zito to relax more when he's on the mound. "No matter what (speed) it's coming out of your arm, if you overthrow, it's straight," Righetti said. "If you relax, you'll have some movement, and you'll last longer, make better pitches." Righetti told Zito to emulate retired SP Kirk Rueter, because he did not overthrow and allowed his pitches to move.

Andrew Baggarly, of the Oakland Tribune, reports P Brad Hennessey, P Billy Sadler, P Jonathan Sanchez, and P Jack Taschner are all fighting for a spot in the San Francisco Giants bullpen. Non-roster P Scott Atchison, P Dan Giese, and P David Cortes have stayed in contention by throwing strikes and challenging hitters. Sanchez has the electric arm to be a late-game force, but he could make the biggest contribution in long relief, pitching coach Dave Righetti said.
