I’m not sure how to evaluate Tim Lincecum. Just watching baseball over the years, pitchers can just stop being good. Usually there’s an injury, but not always. Of course, when I attempt to find examples, I can’t, so, I guess I’m supposed to be optimistic that he can return to form or at least settle into THIRD STARTER AT BEST-territory?

I don’t see how. He’s not Wellemeyer bad, but he’s certainly not good any more.

Obligatory: okay, whatever, you’re wrong, shutup responses

by Every6thDay on Aug 15, 2010 3:21 PM PDT reply actions  

Well, as others have said, it’s true that he’s not pitching like a Cy Young award winner anymore recently, but it’s not as though he’s got a 7.00 ERA since the ASB or something.

Lot of bizarre stuff

Like two pitches flying out of his hand. 5 pitch warm up between innings – forcing him to stand around as they wait to start. Just funky stuff. We forget sometimes they are human. At least I do. Who the hell knows – maybe he’s got some personal stuff he’s fighting. We all can be impacted at the office by stuff at home.

Going with the best potential offense has not worked out.
