Tigers' Anibal Sanchez feeling more comfortable with a hybrid windup

Sanchez's windup adjustment is a cross between the extreme and a non-existent turn.

DETROIT -- Anibal Sanchez is going back to his old windup. Kind of.

Until Thursday afternoon, Sanchez had been working with a significantly subdued version of his twist windup. After four starts, though, he wasn't comfortable, and it took too much of his concentration away from everything else he was working on.

But going back entirely to his old windup wasn't going to work, either. So, he made a compromise with himself, and decided to split the difference (a decision he reached on his own).
