[Magnetic Curses]

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.

 

there are no such thing as perfect mechanics. perfect mechanics would be fastpitch softball. if he gets abused enough by his manager and hitters start spitting on his breaking stuff and fouling pitch after pitch after 2 strikes, he'll break down.

CHRIS GOMEZ! either tied it or gave the pirates the lead......

 

2 RBI DOUBLE PIRATES LEAD 6-5!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Pirates take a 6-5 lead in a see-saw battle.

[ctcf]

The Cards are pretty damn funny this weekend.

[CubsNSkers07]

[CubsGM]

How does TLR leave Pinero in the game?

[Brian]

[CubInOK]

Are the Pirates wearing pinstripes today?

[bcl412]

The Cards are pretty damn funny this weekend.

 

The Pirates offense is a pain in the butt to face. They always seem to come back. At least when they're at home

[CubsNSkers07]

Jason Bay coming up with 2 on 2 outs.

 

Pinero at 108 pitches keep him in for Bay so Bay can send one over the fence!

DeRo obviously misplayed the ball but he never touched it. You can't give him an error on that.

I dont think DeRosa ever gloved it, its one of those benefit of the doubt hits.

[TMan92]

From the shocking department. Patterson K's on a low and outside slider.

[Coach C]

Dang. At least he made contact.

[TruffleShuffle]

thanks for sticking with pineiro for 2 batters too long, tony

[WTFCUBS]

How does TLR leave Pinero in the game?

[Outshined_One]
