A lot of people are viewing tonight's NLCS game as a confrontation between pitchers Tim Lincecum and Roy Halladay. And there is a certain amount of truth to that. But that's not all the truth, obviously. This is a game between the Phillies and Giants and the pitchers are a [...]
Here is my Friday column on Tim Lincecum. I'm sorry to be posting it so late but it was not up when I went to sleep last night and I slept in and what the heck. Needless to say Lincecum was terrific -- we're talking Sandy Koufax territory here. And [...]
Through three innings Tim Lincecum is on fire. He's struck out 6, at one point 5 in a row. The Braves, who don't seem to hit well to begin with, can't do anything with him. Lincecum lost himself in August but he's back. He is not as powerful as he [...]
Tim Lincecum was superb Wednesday night. Simple as that. He was the Lincecum we used to know. It's like an imposter took over in August. Why was he better? I'm not sure just as I'm not sure what was the matter with him in the first place. I noticed this. [...]
There is talk Tim Lincecum might have been tipping off his pitchers Friday night. That's why he wasn't so good. In starts before that they said he wasn't good because he stopped doing long toss. Before that it was the hot weather. I've lost track of all the reasons. People [...]
Admittedly, Tim Lincecum didn't look as awful Friday night as he looked previously. Still, he wasn't good. He sure wasn't good enough. You could say he made progress. I could say he made progress. But the Giants aren't paying this two-time Cy Young Award winner to make progress like a [...]
Tim Lincecum theories abound. We're talking about theories on why he's lost his fastball and why he isn't so hot anymore. I was on Comcast Thursday night and we had a lively discussion about Lincecum. His dad got involved over the phone. Dad said Tim(my) hasn't been long-tossing lately and [...]
I am reading that Tim Lincecum improved Saturday night in St. Louis. Mike Krukow also said it on the air. So did he improve? Well, yes, he improved marginally. That means the Cards did not beat his brains out right away. But we saw the same pattern we saw in his [...]
Grant here, from the Oakland A’s press box where I watched the Giants lose on TV. On July 11th I wrote the Giants would win the NL West because of Buster Posey. It’s starting to look like I might be wrong. I thought Posey was the big bat addition they [...]
This is Grant, and today is pile on Tim Lincecum day in the Cohn Zohn. Before I start, I’d like to direct you to a blog I wrote on July 4th. In the second part I said Tim Lincecum is no longer a power pitcher and he’ll need to learn [...]
