And here I thought he was going to switch places with Brian Wilson.

Timmy tried to grow a beard. 6 weeks in the peach fuzz was still not doing much. That switch might not work.

He was dominating last night, fwiw. Is the velocity drop he experienced this season attributed to anything in particular? He did pitch a lot of innings at a young age and the human arm isn't meant to throw a baseball 95mph that much yada yada yada -- tinstaapp and all that aside it would be nice for the Giant's and Tim if they found something.

Rizzo woulda shut him down. Jes sayin'.

Baseball's kind of funny.
What would the odds have been for the Giants would win the World Series with the crystal ball knowledge that Tim Lincecum would be one of the worst pitchers in baseball for most of the year.

Well, there were stories that he bulked up before 2011, and his velovity went up, then he lost like 15 lbs this past off season and disaster. Whether that is the cause, or even true, I don't know. But that would only "explain" the last two season, and most of the velocity had already inexplicably evaporated by 2010.

I think "inexplicable" is too strong. He is a pitcher, and he is getting older. That's most of an explanation right there.

Lincecum had Tommy John last year? OMG, the way he pitched last nite I couldn't even tell!. Whatever rehab protocol the Giants have, Sabean should patent it.

He's lost 5 MPH in four years. That doesn't strike me as typical aging for a healthy twenty-something pitcher.

What a strange headline. I know he wasn't very good this year, but Lincecum has pitched in 189 regular-season games in his career, making 188 starts. He was good in middle relief in the World Series, but, my goodness, it's not like the Giants are thinking, "Finally! We've found our long man!"

My God, he looks just like John Waters in that photo.
