7/16 CUBS (Hill) vs. Giants (Lincecum), 6:05 PM CT WCIU/ESPN

[baseball7897]

I was very impressed with Lincecum. Reminds me alot of Roy Oswalt. Located his fastball very well and he changed speeds very well also. Although he walked Jones in the 7th, his sequence of pitches in that AB after falling behind really impressed me. After falling behind in the count 2-0 to Jones, he came with his change with the next two pitches. He has a very bright future.

I am a little worried about Fontenot's OBP. It is only 20 points above hsi average. Has he always been a free swinger?

his career IsoD in the minors is .77, so no.
