Tim Lincecum grabbed a Ben Zobrist comebacker, failed to get a good grip on the ball and heaved it into center field. Later in the inning, a Brandon Crawford throw home bounced away from Hector Sanchez. Lincecum, backing up home plate, did not retrieve the ball, and runner Billy Butler took an extra base. Gregor Blanco missed two cutoff men on a throw back to the infield. The team works, and works, and works, doing drills so it can avoid mistakes like this, and five weeks into spring training the Giants are still making them. [...] spring training can get tedious. [...] the players need to concentrate. Think of spring training as rehearsal for a Broadway play. Directors will tell you that days before Opening Night the actors still flub lines and the play looks terrible. With Opening Night drawing near, Bochy would love to see the actors perform their roles a little better in these final rehearsals. Bochy said Sanchez will be off Friday as planned, with Andrew Susac catching prospect Chris Heston in the road game against the Dodgers.
