Great news. Congratulations to Tim. The best news about this is that I can now turn this worthless game off after two innings.

Once he realizes none of “his guys” are on the pitching staff, he might just leave Timmy in for the whole game.

I disagree re: Haren
If my life is depending on one pitcher, regardless of the offense behind him, I’m going with Lincecum. He’s got 3 plus pitches that he can work with, so it’s very rare that he’s off his game.
As far as the stats, there was the compelling comparison of FIP and BABIP, where Lincecum came out looking a lot better.
"The BB's are out. The BB's are being arseholes to me." - Brian Wilson.
Haren:
2.70 FIP, .245 BABIP
Lincecum:
2.01 FIP, .313 BABIP
The FIP would suggest that Lincecum is better, and the BABIP would suggest that Haren’s been luckier.
"The BB's are out. The BB's are being arseholes to me." - Brian Wilson.
I agree, but at this point, you have to go off what they’ve done and not what you expect them to do in the second half. Sure, there are reasons to think Lincecum is better than Haren, but purely in terms of preventing runs, so far, Haren has been better.
That said, I think the season, you know, before this one should be taken into account as well and I don’t think there’s any question who the better pitcher has been in 08-09, rather than just the first half of 09.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

it’s also Tim’s regular turn to start, which makes the decision a no brainer. I know I’m a biased Giants’ fan as well, but don’t you think more people want to see “The Freak” than Danny Haren? Shouldn’t that also be a consideration, and what this game should be about? That same consideration should have had Pablo Sandoval in the all star game, but I guess they think the fans are buzzing about Jayson Werth. This game should be showing off their exciting young talent whenever they get the chance, not sending out retreads that nobody gives a shit about like Jayson Werth-less and Orlando Hudson.

Haren
has 4 plus pitches. The only thing FIP tells you is that Timcecum is a strikeout pitcher.
Lowest ERA in the majors. Lowest WHIP in the majors. (.83, nobody else in the majors is below 1.00) And somehow, that’s not good enough?

Haren is awesome
I’ve never heard him described as having 4 plus pitches though. Maybe I need to do some research. Also, how do you respond to the BABIP discrepancy? I think you’ve given FIP short shrift, but I am biased.
"The BB's are out. The BB's are being arseholes to me." - Brian Wilson.
Haren has 4
because he just added a cutter last season, so he now uses his splitter a lot less than he used to. The BABIP argument just means that he’s due for some regression in the second half. How do you answer the WHIP or K/BB arguments?

Easy
Haren is better in those categories.
Also, just because a pitcher has added a pitch does not make it a “plus pitch”. Like I said, I have not heard Haren described as having quite the arsenal that Lincecum has. Lincecum has a ridiculous curve and the nastiest changeup there is to go with his top-of-the-league heater. Actually, I think Haren might have a better fastball, but the change…
"The BB's are out. The BB's are being arseholes to me." - Brian Wilson.
It's his go-to pitch now.
I’d call that a plus pitch.

Just because he added a pitch does not not make it a “plus pitch.” (Was that a correct double negative? Never mind, I don’t want to open up a Grammer thread here.) Look at Timmy, he added the change and it was amazing. He’s adding a slider and it looks promising already.

Anyway
Looking at fangraphs, it seems like saying Haren has four plus pitches is overstating it anyway. If I’m reading it correctly, his curveball isn’t any better than Lincecum’s slider. And though his arsenal of three are all over 2, he doesn’t have anything comparable to Tim’s changeup. So, they’re both really good pitchers. What an astounding discovery.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
Something’s odd about that data.
Haren’s best pitch was his slider last year, but he stopped throwing it this year?
Randy Winn is in time out until his OBP gets back over .330.
That is bizarre, I thought it was maybe a case of him having a pitch misidentified for one year but it looks like he threw it more and more every year of his career and then suddenly, this year no slider. WTF?
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
But Haren actually throws 4 pitches. You can’t really call Lincecum’s slider a plus pitch when he only throws his Slider 3-4 times a game.

Haren throw’s four pitches, but I think it’s a stretch to call the curveball plus
Randy Winn is in time out until his OBP gets back over .330.
Hey, I conceded that Lincecum doesn’t actually have four plus pitches, but it would appear that neither does Haren.

Really? Even after he brought a trophy to your city? After he won four straight Cy Young Awards? Showing some thanks to man who was the greatest player in your franchise’s history? Hum.
Yes,
and he was rewarded hansomely for it. It’s not like he’s a humanitarian who altruistically gave of himself for the good of Arizona. If he had left in a different manner, that’d be one thing. But he left over… what? $4 million? After he’s already made well over $140 million from the Dbacks? And then he took potshots at the organization on the way out, and at Chris Snyder, and specifically signed with a division rival.
So no. He may be the greatest player in team history, but he was always a mercenary.

They can look forward to watching more than one player in the All-Star game. 11.5 games back and they have two players playing vs our one. Wrong community to complain about with regards to snubs.

It surprises me, too.
I mean, I don’t care about the ASG at all, so it would follow that I don’t care who the SP’s are. And while I try to be empathic enough to see why other people care about things I don’t care about, I am just baffled by all this interest and energy on the topic. Especially this classless juvenile dbacksskins, who actually cared enough to come over here and stir up crap. I think he has a valid point to make on behalf of Haren’s arguable supremacy at the moment (the stats make a good case), but the negativity toward our guys is puzzling.

From His Wikipedia page:
During his career Dibble often was known for his temper. After one game, he threw a baseball into the outfield seats at Cincinnati and struck a lady. He was also involved in a brawl in 1991 with Astros shortstop Eric Yelding. That same season he was caught attempting to throw a baseball into the back of Cubs outfielder Doug Dascenzo as he ran down the first base line. Finally, Dibble was involved in a locker room brawl with Reds manager Lou Pinella after a game. In a turn back the clock game against the Mets at Shea Stadium in 1992, Dibble after giving up a homer to Bobby Bonilla took himself out of the game but not before ripping the old timers jersey off before leaving the field.

Giants County Fair.... feh
I left yesterday’s “game” in the 8th inning to go check out the Giants County Fair. There are 3 lies in that term. It has nothing really to do with the Giants; it doesn’t represent a county; and it would need many improvements to upgrade from ‘teh suck’ to fair.
It is entirely rides of ordinary carnival quality, and several booths of basic carnival food. That is all. No booths of interesting stuff. Nothing relating to the Giants except a booth selling Giants merchandising.
I will still probably take the Heir of Mayor, but that’s because he’s 3 and would only be interested in the rides. I would say anyone over 14 years old will be disappointed.
Maybe they will expand it next year and have, you know, interesting stuff.
