Living up to expectorations

Mike Ehrmann

Alex Sanabia is on the Marlins. The odds are at least decent that you’ve never heard of Alex Sanabia before. What’s he all about? Let’s see ... leads the league in losses ... kind of a control pitcher in the minors ... 24 years old ... drafted in the 32nd round, just a round after William Mays ... but pretty nondescript, mostly.

Not sure if there’s a way to remember this guy.

Spitter. He’s the spit guy. The guy with the spit. Yeah, I remember him. Ol’ Spitface with the spit coming out of his face. Good spitter, that guy. Loves to spit. Wish Alex would spit less, but god love him, he just can’t stop spitting.

Also, he kind of looks like a young Russ Ortiz. But with more spit.
