No wins, five losses and a 7.82 ERA. That was Lincecum’s August after he allowed four runs over six innings in a 6-0 loss to the Diamondbacks, only the third shutout by Arizona pitching all year.
...
There was an odd twist to this defeat, the notion that Arizona hitters might have gotten some extra help from Lincecum and Posey tipping pitches and/or location.
...
After the homer, Giants TV cameras showed Drew in the Diamondbacks dugout demonstrating Lincecum’s delivery and explaining something to teammates, including LaRoche. Later, broadcasters showed Drew standing on second base appearing to send signals to LaRoche at the plate.
The first shot implied Lincecum was doing altering his motion to betray pitch selection. The second implied that Posey was tipping signs or location.
Either way, the D’backs hammered Lincecum some more.
Or they were just mocking the Giants’ orange unis (ugly then, ugly now).

I'm no pitching coach, but that sounds sort of like he's throwing with more effort to try to regain some of the lost velocity. Which does not sound promising.
Is he playing twister or pitching? That must be a hell of a delivery.
quite a difference 37 days makes.
