Dave Righetti in the News
Giants seem in this together: The day after Jonathan Sanchez's no-hitter, pitching coach Dave Righetti said he knew that the young lefthander was operating at a new level when he saw the look in his eyes right after Juan Uribe committed the error that ended Sanchez's bid for a perfect...
Righetti a gift giver: Pitching coach Dave Righetti is a sentimental old guy. In 2006, Righetti gave his uniform number, 19, to fellow San Jose native Kevin Frandsen, who idolized Righetti as a kid. Rags wore it with the Yankees. Righetti took Kirk Reuter's old number, 46, until...

Yankee Stadium has a history of drama on the Fourth of July. There was Lou Gehrig's farewell speech in 1939, and Dave Righetti's no-hitter against Boston in 1983. It's George Steinbrenner's birthday, so it's always an important date to circle on New York's calendar. Kevin Youkilis made the final Fourth at the ballpark truly memorable, sparking a come-from-behind 6-4 victory for the Red Sox on Friday...
3-Dot Lounge: Zito and his mentor should work down on the farm: No way. That's the initial, logical reaction to a Barry Zito-Rick Peterson reunion. You don't insult pitching coach Dave Righetti in that manner. You don't make the entire Giants' organization look foolish - or, for that matter, desperate - by bringing in an...
Giants pitching coach works with Zito: Although Barry Zito has been demoted to the bullpen, Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti sounded emphatic about doing all he can to help the left-hander regain enough of his form to return to the rotation.
Zito, Righetti begin reclamation project: Barry Zito began his new job as a reliever Tuesday by doing exactly what he would have done as a starter. He threw a 10-minute, 70-pitch bullpen session that impressed pitching coach Dave Righetti. "His side today looked like he was pitching-ready for a game,"...
Lincecum continues to amaze / Giants' 'Franchise' masters Cardinals: Thousands of hearts in the Bay Area surely stopped for a few seconds Saturday when Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti visited Tim Lincecum on the mound, turned toward the dugout and called for a trainer. "Count me in that, too," said manager Bruce Bochy,...
Giants set tentative rotation order: Although anybody following the series of the Giants' starting pitchers in Cactus League exhibitions could guess the sequence of the team's rotation, pitching coach Dave Righetti erased doubts Monday by confirming the alignment. Barry Zito, Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum, Kevin Correia and Jonathan Sanchez will compose the rotation, in that pattern.
There's wild, and then there's Giants' Lowry: Noah Lowry never did get his mind right. Nearly two hours after the most disturbing performance of his life, he still wasn't up to addressing the media. Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti didn't feel much like talking, either, for fear of what he might say....
Burden's on Giants' youthful starters / Rotation appears to be strength of otherwise weak team: Pitching coach Dave Righetti lives in the Bay Area year-round, so he could not be unaware of all the winter noise about the Giants' starting rotation. One of the best in the National League, people said, the rock-solid foundation for this rebuilding team,...
Notes: Lincecum likely to be skipped: Although Tim Lincecum will make his next scheduled start Monday against San Diego, Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti said Friday that the struggling rookie likely will miss his following turn in the rotation, which would give him only one more starting assignment before the All-Star break.
Isringhausen rests: Closer Jason Isringhausen was not available for his 253rd career save Wednesday afternoon after tying Dave Righetti for 25th on the all-time list by working Tuesday night's 12th inning. Isringhausen warmed up four times as the Cardinals repeatedly threatened to take the lead before catcher Gary Bennett scored on Skip Schumaker's shallow sacrifice fly. Isringhausen, who worked on consecutive days for the first time since having hip surgery, admitted to hip soreness but classified it as "no big deal."
Lincecum gets sent down, probably for the last time: Manager Bruce Bochy, pitching coach Dave Righetti and bullpen coach Mark Gardner called Tim Lincecum into the office Sunday, which meant the Giants were reassigning their wunderkind pitcher to Triple-A Fresno. Given how Lincecum pitched this spring, one...
A change of heart? Zito may use old style: The more radical elements of Barry Zito's new delivery appear headed for the dustbin after he and pitching coach Dave Righetti had a long chat Friday. Asked afterward if Zito will revert to something closer to his Oakland motion the next time he throws,...
