I wrote the other day that Tim Lincecum pitches just fine until he has a crack-up inning. His crack-up inning tonight was the 6th in Miami. He gave up 5 runs and looked, well, bad. What is going on? He was throwing 93 mph and seemed to have good stuff. [...]
I am writing in praise of Tim Lincecum, the man. After he pitched poorly on Sunday he showered and dressed and met the media at his locker. It is difficult for a starting pitcher to talk after he hasn't done well. Some are rude when they talk. Lincecum was a [...]
Here is the opening to my Monday column on Tim Lincecum who lost again. The A’s beat the Giants 6-2 on Sunday. But there was another story, just as dramatic, certainly sadder and, from the Giants’ point of view, troubling. Tim Lincecum pitched badly. He’s mostly pitched badly this season, [...]
I'm at the Giants-A's game and I almost certainly will write my Monday column re: Tim Lincecum who lasted 4 innings and looked shaky. I have defended him all season, saying his mediocre pitching is temporary -- and it may be. But, come on, he looks like no world beater [...]
On the Blitz Wednesday night (on Comcast), one question was: Should the Giants trade a pitcher for a hitter? Good question. And the Giants certainly need a hitter. But I said, no, don't trade a pitcher -- it would probably be Tim Lincecum. The Giants ARE pitching. That is what [...]
On Friday night, Tim Lincecum was awful in his first two innings -- he certainly didn't look like someone who is usually considered one of baseball's top pitchers. After that, he looked much better. So, here is my question: Is Lincecum going through a temporary problem -- perhaps mechanics -- [...]
It was supposed to be a great pitchers' duel Monday night -- Tim Lincecum vs. Roy Halladay -- except Lincecum didn't keep up his part of the duel. He was awful in the first inning and that pretty much was that. Let me add he's pretty much been awful this [...]
Bruce Bochy just took Tim Lincecum out of the game in the third inning because the Rockies were beating his brains out. These are the same Rockies Barry Zito shut out two days ago. So here's what I want to know. What's up with Lincecum? Can you tell me?
I always thought Tim Lincecum was a neat guy -- as in he keeps things neat and clean. His locker always looks neat and well-cared for. But according to SF Gate, his San Francisco landlord is suing him for 200 grand -- yes, that's right -- for trashing his apartment [...]
Grant wrote a piece today on Tim Lincecum for ComcastSportsNet BayArea. Call this one Iggy on Timmy. In the piece Grant argues that Lincecum is having perhaps his best season ever although the win/loss column does not reflect that. Earned run average sure does. Grant says don't count out Lincecum [...]
