Lincecum’s strategy worked to perfection. Fooled the entire American League into thinking he’s just another hack pitcher from the AAAA National League. They won’t know what hit them in Game 1 of the World Series.

I am not sure that is what he was saying. I took it more like he doesn’t know much about him because he has never faced him prior to the ASG. He must know of him and that he won the CYA last year. Maybe he just doesn’t know his repertoire.

I'm giving Timmeh a pass on his runs
He got five outs in the first inning; that groundball in front of the plate was a double play (Wright made a throwing error) and that groundball to Pujols was a putout (he made a fielding error). If those plays get made, like they would be by a competent defense, he doesn’t allow a run. I still don’t understand how Wright’s play was a fielder’s choice (as I assume it must have been, given the only error on the NL side); that’s a clear double play if the throw doesn’t pull Albert off the bag.
Billingsley, on the other hand, gets two diving stops and great plays by Pujols, and a great play by Utley and STILL gives up a run. He does not get a pass; if he had the same defense as Timmeh, he gives up at least 3 runs, and if Timmeh had his defense he gives up no runs. Timmeh’s performance was more a result of poor fielding than poor pitching.
you can’t assume a double play (for some odd reason) and no runner was allowed to advance a base on the throw, so no error.

but in it’s limited sphere, the presumption of innocence is purty freakin’ meaningful. Yer ‘onor. It also seems to be more than just a technical rule, as it appears to me to inform an entire society’s view of itself (even if hypocritical).
The double play rule was just some dumbfuck’s decision.
Don’t tell me the dumbfuck was Abner Doubleday, ok? Make it….Bowie Kuhn.
The official scorer can’t assume a double play, but I can

I remember the first year of the whole format with the winner getting home field advantage in 2003. Giants were in first place wire to wire and the National League lost the All Star game that year because Eric Gagne gave up a two run homer to blow the lead in the eigth. I remember after that game thinking, Great now if the Giants make it to the World Series this year, they won’t have home field advantage because of a Dodger. Thanks God the playoffs got canceled that year before the Giants got to play the Marlins in the first round.

Collusion! Collusion!
I don’t know about you guys, but I think the hitters made a deal with the pitchers that they would try to have a maximum of 3-pitch AB’s, because I gotta tell ya, there were a lot of 1-2 pitch at-bats.
Maybe the NL wouldn’t have gone 6+ innings without a base runner if they had taken some pitches….
They didn't tell yoy, it was in honor of the Giants
Since the 2nd place NL Giants only had 1 guy play in the ASG, all the batters decided to swing at every pitch in honor of Bengie Molina, the most worthy All-Start candidate every as KnK like to tell us.

Kinda like
when Cards and Fish, respectively, realized Poo-Holes and Miguel Cabrera were franchise bats, and they stopped bopping them all over the diamond, and instead just gave them one relatively managable position to play, maybe so that they could concentrate on their raking …
Other than
But then there’s guys like Piazza, who clearly has a bat that will play somewhere else and wasn’t much of a catcher to begin with. The Dodgers tried to move him out, and not only did he refuse, he wouldn’t even go to the AL to get some regular DH time when had the chance.
I think he was stubborn because he had to become a catcher in the first place just to get a shot. So after that, it was “You want me somewhere else now? Screw you.” Which frankly, is an attitude I kind of appreciated about him.

I don’t think the post-Atlee Giants have pitched poorly in this contest, particularly taking away Este’s line. 11 Ks and 1 BB. Small sample, but the Giants pitchers probably just got unlucky. Certainly Lincecum seemd to.
Through kind of wierd that Estes and Brantley pitched in the game, isn’t it? That says more about the erratic career of pitchers than about All-Star selection.

My post all star game rant : I really wish the WBC mattered more.
Came across this video after watching the all star game and the NL losing yet again. >_<
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ruw9EHTqLoI
I got really pumped up after watching this short tribute. Growing up in Asia, baseball being a way of life is nothing new. I really wish one day, MLB can find a way to work with the international committee and find a way to make the WBC work and have it be meaningful, same way the World Cup is.
I would love to dress in Red, White, and Blue and run around screaming USA! USA! USA!
The competition between Japan and Korea in the finals of WBC mattered to Millions of people. I only wish we could have generated the same frenzy in the US and had our best players in the game as well as the nation’s backing.
I understand that economics is the reason why players aren’t participating in the WBC (or in some cases, teams not letting their players participate). I just wish there is a way around it.
I guess you mean you wish it mattered more to the US.
