7/13 - Giants (Lincecum) @ Cubs (Dempster) 1:20, WGN TV

[Magnetic Curses]

work tiny tim for every last ounce of energy he has in his frail, frail body.

[Old Style]

Only a double? Edmonds sucks.

[Coach C]

[WTFCUBS]

its painful watching johnson bat against righties.

[PrimeTime]

wow you suck against righties

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

you have to make lincecum's arm fall off. send theriot up there and tell him to work him for 20 pitches, foul after foul after foul. in fact, tell every hitter to do that.

 

that's the only way that you can break lincecum, you certainly aren't going to hit him very hard.

 

if teams start doing this to lincecum like they did to prior, we'll see just how "perfect" timmy's mechanics are.

 

It's sort of funny that when he was drafted by the Giants, many teams were questioning his mechanics. He was viewed as an arm injury witing to happen. Now that he has a year an a half (or so) of MLB experience; he is viewed as "the Freak". FWIW I didn't read the SI article, but I heard that it actually goes as far as to praise his mechanics.

[CubsNSkers07]

That was just disgustingly nasty. And Reed Johnsons .389 RISP average drops to .381 its a sad day.

good one bob

[Magnetic Curses]

why is reed starting against one of the toughest righties in the league?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Lincecum is getting a huge zone.

[Coach C]

Well, at least the Cubs got one back. Now a 2 run game.

[PrimeTime]

65 Pitches

[Little Slide Rooter]

We can still win this. How many pitches does Lincecum have?

[Brian]

demp needs to just hold it. 2 feels a lot closer than 3

[Brian]

Babe Sabathia the Great grounds into a double play

[Magnetic Curses]

Lincecum is getting a huge zone.

 

another thing that never got after his first full year in the league. if the umps start squeezing him like they squeezed prior, he'll fall apart just like a human being.

[CubsNSkers07]

why is reed starting against one of the toughest righties in the league?

 

 

Well they gave Kosuke the day off and would you want Daryle Ward in RF and Derosa in Left? That would put two liabilities in the OF.

[CubsNSkers07]

Chris Gomez up for the Pirates 2 outs runners on the corners 1-1 count.

[Magnetic Curses]

let's get him at 90 after next inning.

[Brian]

Ty Lincecum up

[ctcf]

I wish.

It looks like a lot of his power comes from his long stride. His wind up is looks more lower body and less arm.
