"Sauer, a 26-year-old right-hander from Santa Maria, CA, made 10 appearances for the World Champions, totalling a 6.37 ERA through his 29.2 innings of work. He struck out 24 batters and walked eight on the year. During his 18 appearances in Triple-A Oklahoma City, Sauer totalled a 5.86 ERA through 83 innings. Ahead of what would become a successful title defense season, Sauer pitched his way to the team trip to Japan."
""I'm a little upset. I'm competing. Just had a pretty bad inning. And then Doc walks out there, and he gets to the mound and smiles," Sauer said. "So I'm a little confused at first. "Then [Roberts] grabbed me around the waist and broke the news," Sauer said. "Then I had a big smile on my face. But I was also trying to be, like, pissed. I just had a terrible inning.""
