Re: Cy YoungTim Lincecum is better than everyone else. Please make a note of this.
Two full seasons, two Cy Youngs. That's two more than Juan Marichal. One more than Orel Hershisher, Eric Gagne, Fernando Valenzuela, and Mike Scott, all of whom can eat hot death.
Tim Lincecum: Cy Young Award winner. Again. You'd think that we'd be jaded because he won it last year. Nope. Still pretty danged exciting. Congrats, Tim.

it’s Win Probability Added, a leverage based stat. So if you hit a homerun in a close game, it adds more WPA to the game than in a blow out.
There’s not much reason to use it for starting pitchers.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.

Well
if a guy’s defense fucks him over, that’s not his fault, but he could easily get negative marks for it.

Schulman’s post was just stupid; this actually makes me angry. Yeah, baseball players are overpaid. So are most professional athletes and celebrities. But saying that winning the Cy Young is bad because it costs money is just the epitome of money over skill. And I don’t like that.

I skipped lunch today when I heard that Lincecum won the Cy Young, because I knew that I now have to save up money to keep Timmy in a few years. Oh wait, it’s not gonna cost me a dime. Now would Henry Schulmann stop pissing on my parade?

Will Carrol’s ballot: Wainwright, Lincecum, Haren
Explanation here: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=9782
And fuck whoever this was, probably Russel Martin:
Lincecum looked more hittable. “I’m still convinced that deception is a big part of what Lincecum does,” another said, “and that unless there’s a new wrinkle, people are starting to figure him out. He’s still good, his [stuff] is still good, but comparing him to Wainwright? Wainwright was just a shutdown guy this year.”
Innocent until proven guilty...
by AngelWillSaveUs on Nov 19, 2009 11:35 AM PST reply actions 0 recs
Lincecum was more hittable – which explains why Wainwright had almost twice the HR rate and a higher WHIP despite almost the same walk rate.

As far as a process for voting, Ring Lardner hardly imagined this way of doing it, and I’m not sure it’s ideal, but in a season where I only saw one of these players live (Lincecum, in Cincinnati), I feel that I have to make the effort to see as much as possible.
I was at this fucking game, and it was Lincecum’s worst start of the year. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I like Bruce because he does exactly what he says he's going to do.
He rants and doesn’t let anyone get a word in edgewise. He tells you practically every single night that he’s going to do exactly that, because his show isn’t like a typical radio call-in show.
I see his show like a sports radio version of Real Time with Bill Maher, in that he may occasionally let dissenting viewpoints speak, but only when he allows it. Otherwise he is going to control the conversation for the entire show.
Radnich does the exact same thing but acts like he lets anyone say whatever they want. He’s quicker to cut people off than anyone on that station with the exception of Ralph.

Radnich is a legend in his own mind
and I get so tired of OT drivel about his family, Da Mayor and his TV gig that I often switch to KCBS on my way to work. His only redeeming value (to me) is his trivia knowledge. Conversely, I like Ralph & Tom the best. I’m never up early enough to hear the morning guys. Fitz & Brooks are the least knowledgeable (IMO of course) and they seem to rely on guests more than the rest.
As for Damon, I usually agree with what he says, but how he says it grates on me… we aren’t in Chicago for God’s sake! I think he’d shine doing a show like All Night with Jason Smith: non-stop opinion for 4 hours with an occasional phone call and the obligatory “ESPN Analyst” thrown in to keep it interesting.

1. Gratz to Timmy.
2. Will Carroll’s third place vote for Haren wasn’t nearly as well thought as his first two, and he outright states he’s been second guessing it. While probably would have ended up taking Jurrjens, I don’t think he gave Carpenter proper consideration for it at all (completely ruled him out because of the innings pitched).
3. I am really interested in hearing Keith Law’s explanation of his ballot, since Vasquez had a great year, but wasn’t in the range of the four pitchers discussed and I’ll be extremely interested in why he doesn’t think Carpenter was in the top 3 pitchers in baseball.
4. That still would have left Carpenter with somewhere between 95-97 votes, so Timmy would have still won based on the ballot splitting.
5. Which brings up my last point. Cain’s fade down the stretch was a BIG factor in Timmy winning the award, since all it would have taken would have been a couple of “well Cain was pitching better than Lincecum, so I’ll give him second and Lincecum third” to lose enough votes for Timmy for Carpenter to win. Funny how these things work.
6. Now can we work on getting his preferred nickname of Seabiscuit to the general public?

Yeah, Law should be writing an interesting article after this to explain why WAR trumps everything.
And I’d actually be interested in seeing the secondary stat breakdown for the top three pre- and post- All Star break, since I do think Schulman and Baggs have a point about Lincecum’s post-ASB performance. (I presume that’s why Paul Gutierrez of the SacBee had him second as well, so the Cards fans can take some comfort in that while they can condemn the West/East Coast bias, there was none for the writers in the Bay Area.)
Anyone have access to what all three of those compare on the more interesting statistical analysis pre- and post-ASB?

St Louis fans are widely regarded as good fans
so I guess this backs that up
A hearty thank you to Rich Aurilia for all the good memories, and to the Niners for finally getting the uni's (mostly) right.

Thank you Royals, Rockies, Pirates, Mariners, Tigers, and especially you, Dodgers...
For drafting Luke Hochevar, Greg Reynolds, Brad Lincoln, Brandon Morrow, Andrew Miller and Clayton Kershaw over Tim Lincecum. You guys have great scouts for pitching, really.
Thank you, Tim Lincecum, for choosing not to sign with the Cubs in 2003, and choosing not to sign with the Indians in 2005. We may adore you for your performance, but we fucking LOVE you for that.

I can’t help but notice one guy drafted before Lincecum who you left out.

I think there are three. Lincecum was picked tenth, yes? You listed six guys.
One just stands out.

Well, I don’t think you can fault the Dodgers for drafting Clayton Kershaw
Congrats to my soul mate and birth brother Zach Wheeler on being drafted into greatness. Should I just buy my Wheeler jersey now, or wait till my next birthday?

Kershaw is "not tim lincecum"
so IMO it’s still worthy of LOL DODGERS

Man, I wanted the Giants to get Andrew Miller. Of course I had no idea who Lincecum was.

lolcomments from around the Internet
“Carp so deserved that award so much more than FreakWeed. Oh well at least the Giants payroll takes a hit.”
“I’m also hoping that these 2 Cy Youngs will cause SF to either give Lincecum a Zito/Schmidt/Wells sized contract or get him the F out of the NL West. Either way works for me.”
“Congrats Tim! Now go have yourself a celebratory smoke, LOL!”
“Maybe if lincecum concentrated on getting outs instead of strikeouts, he would have as many wins as Waino and Carp… Ask carlos beltran and brandon inge if wainwright can strike someone out… Dave Duncan teaches them its smarter not too…”
Oh god.
“Terrible pick: Lincecum was 1-3 with a 3.60 ERA in September. When his team needed him most, he pitched his worst.”
Oh god.
Internet comments are the worst thing, ever.
