Making a 1-6 pitcher with an ERA of 5.15 look like a Cy Young contender.

If this wasn’t Lincecum’s turn, I would be convinced the Rockies were going to sweep up, just as punishment for seriously discussing the CONTENDER!!!! issue.

he made the right play

he wouldn’t have got the out at first if he threw to 2nd.

runner just ran out of the baseline.

that's right

when in a rundown, sprint towards an defender (the closer to the pitcher’s mound the better) who doesn’t have the ball. the Umps will call interference and award you the next base.

If Sabean had actually gone for that ridiculous Lincecum-for-Rios deal, would it have been the worst trade evah?

Aside from Lincecum’s awesomeitude, Rios is sporting a .699 OPS with 3 HR this year. And was never all that great to begin with.

You really need me to explain why it’s dumb to trade probably the best young pitcher in the game for a guy with a sub-.800 career OPS who’s never hit more than 25 home runs and who’s already probably at or near his peak?
