Lincecum vs. Jimenez Memorial Day Showdown

[stealthyburrito]

6 is too low of a number to risk betting on, even with two great pitchers like Lincecum and Jimenez...locked into the OVER

but like many have already said they both have above average bullpens and lineups aren't great.

[anjaru]

I do agree that the over/under is a coin toss, but taking Jimenez over Lincecum is not. I just hope the diesel doesn't have a "Lincecum Iwo Jima monday special" post. If so I am done.

[sheffield77]

should be a great game

Gotta' disagree IE fan. I think it stays below six. Both Lincecum and Jimenez have faced that low of a total once this season and both game were 2-0 finals I believe.

I think Ubaldo and the Rockies is the stronger play. There are rumors that Lincecum's pitching with a blister on his right hand and that there are concerns that his velocity is down. That's too much stuff for me to deal with...truth or fiction....

I like the Rockies to win it 4-1. Good luck as always.


P.S. You've been hot with your MLB plays. You should start a thread although I'm not sure you'd be able to keep it up, what with your pending trip to India. Remember no baseball there, just cricket.

[STAY STRONG]

take the over

[Sawyer]

I'm expecting a final sore like 3-0 or 2-1.
1st Half Under 3 also looking good!

You can't pick Over in a Pitchers Duel.. It's 6 for a reason

[Slim]

Lincecum gave up 11 runs his last 2 starts. Parlay Rockies and Over 6.

Giants are playing well right now and are at home. Take SF

[Bababooey323]

Seems to me only people saying take SF are hardcore Lincecum and Giants fans... I consider myself a pretty big Lincecum fan, but I'm siding with the Rockies, unless someone can provide some information other than SF being at home and hoping Lincecum pitches a great game.

He was home last week against the Nationals, and he did terrible. Even if he pitches a great game, does that mean Jimenez won't??? I guess it would come down to the hitters, and Rockies have better hitters, no?

I don't know, everything about this is telling me to play the Rockies... but I'm afraid Lincecum will manage to surprise and have a REALLLY great game and Giants end up winning 1-0 or something

[WiseGrumpy]

I have bet on timi on ALL his games this season and lately he is very unstable ... I think this game is a no bet ...

[Wade Dwayne]

Diesel picked Jimenez in his blog today. Not sure about fading his blog comments though as yesterday he faded his own Pirates in his blog. Maybe he is sharpish.

[Bababooey323]

Let's say both bitchers are on top of their game, what it really comes down to is which team has the better batters? I think Rockies have been hitting better... though they were left to 0 in a recent game.

[warriorfan707]

Giants bats have been waking up a bit

[warriorfan707]

Giants have the 4th best BA in the league

[stikymess]

Should be easier games out there. Will no one watch this unless they have money on it. LOL i think I know the answer.

Waking up against the Nationals and Dbacks pitchers? Come on now. I have never bet against Lincecum because I am Giants fan, but I am 93% certain Jimenez outduels him. Giants' bats die against elite righties and mediocre lefties.

We called up Posey, and Sanchez and Sandoval been hitting better. Huff and Torres also. Don't count SF out of this one, thats just retarded.

I'll still take Tim over Ubaldo anyday, the guy has started out 10-1 and everyone thinks he's Bob Gibson. Lets see him win ONE CY YOUNG aware first, then he can fill out an application to start to be compared to Lincecum.

[Dexter]

The only weakness in this game is Lincecum. And he is not very weak. Thats why I call a 1 or 2-0 Colorado win. Great starting pitching, Great bullpens, below average hitting clubs. This will be a pitchers duel throughout the game and I cant wait to see it. My official play is colorado and under parlayed.

game is on MLB TV...channel 213 on Direct TV

[JRswish]

can't wait for this game to start! Ubaldo all the way!

[Muddy]

This is a good treat for the holiday

[darrell74]

On the great Ubaldo

Ubaldo goes 8+ innings

[gohabsgo]

Giants have the 4th best BA in the league

Agreed but they can't score, 3rd lowest number of RBI's in the NL

[anjaru]

Jimenez + under boys. 3-1 final score.

[Killer_Demo]

on the over

[warriorfan707]

Happy Memorial Day everyone! Grab a cold one, chill back and enjoy this one, this is what MLB is all about

[balls2wall]

over 5.5??

I'm a sucker

I'll take a shot for a unit

[dmiles1021]

easy win for Lincy just wait and see....6-1 final

[miley]

Lincecum and under, GL

[warriorfan707]

Wow is it really down to 5.5?

[balls2wall]

Wow is it really down to 5.5?

It was for a little bit


looks like it's back up to 6 now

[anjaru]

My scouting report on Lincecum spot on. He's already at 60+ through 4IP.

[warriorfan707]

That base hit by Barmes was a joke. Cmon Huff how bout a 2 run jack right here

[Grind-It-Out]

3-0 baby!!!

[smoovbrotha]

you can't give 3 runs to Jimenez lets go colly finish the job perfect game today for him

[Grind-It-Out]

The 3rd batter of the game got a hit, so there was never a shot at a perfect game.

But yeah, let's finish off the win.
