What to do with Lincecum

easyliving · 07-21-12, 11:37 PM

Looks like his picking it up. At least 2 more bad starts until I consider dropping him again.

easyliving · 07-25-12, 08:34 PM

giving up 5 runs in 4.2 innings against the Padres what a shame killed my ERA for the day, one more start and his cut for sure I'd rather take a chance with one the A's pitchers

smitch124 · 07-25-12, 09:26 PM

I think at some point he will get it together, but man its getting late....

ZetaPsi808 · 07-25-12, 11:02 PM

i faded him again today

padres +160 ftw

dynamite140 · 07-25-12, 11:06 PM

Hes doing pretty horrid now

Mikail · 07-26-12, 12:17 AM

Well "The Freak" sure has turned to sh*t this season.

MexicanStallion · 07-26-12, 01:32 AM

Just when he gets a few good starts, he falls right back down. What a season.

Terrapin Station · 07-26-12, 11:50 AM

After yesterday's game, I dropped him. Picked up griffin from Oakland.

Robber · 07-26-12, 12:21 PM

Physical issues not going to be good down stretch

BigSpoon · 07-26-12, 12:57 PM

Think its finally time to cut the bait on him.

ZetaPsi808 · 07-26-12, 11:04 PM

trade him for a bag of balls

samgurt · 07-27-12, 04:38 PM

drop him for harvey of the mets if you want K's

ZetaPsi808 · 07-28-12, 01:29 AM

they face each other tomorrow night. Should be a good matchup. We will get to see how good Harvey really is

Wulfman14 · 07-31-12, 02:41 AM

been pretty inconsistent all season. i usually fade him at this point

Shortstop · 09-25-12, 11:44 PM

Timmay got shelled again tonight. The Diamondbacks kicked him around pretty good...

T Lincecum	4.0	5	7	7	4	3	1	77-39	5.15

i missed betting dbacks ml too. unreal every time i miss betting a play it loses. fukk me

Shortstop · 09-27-12, 11:54 PM

I'm actually looking froward to seeing Timmay throw in the postseason.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to watch him step up and toss a gem...

Shortstop · 10-02-12, 01:50 AM

Timmay with yet another disappointing start Sunday against the Padres...

T Lincecum	6.0	4	5	4	2	4	3	92-57	5.18

darrell74 · 10-02-12, 03:44 AM

Cost me my ERA in April/May/1/2 of June in rotisserie
I could not fix it and I stayed at the bottom of my league in ERA and WHIP
Hung on to him for too long and it ruined me

The lesson I learned is that you have to get rid of guys a little faster when they are going down like that
2 1/2 months of starts and didn't turn it around

I should have cut him after 3 weeks
but I was so worried that I thought he was gonna turn it around as soon as I drop him

I learned a tough lesson this year with Lincecum

koz-man · 10-02-12, 01:02 PM

Its hard to drop a player like Lincecum, because you remember what he has done in the past.

Shortstop · 10-10-12, 11:12 PM

What a showing by Timmay today in Cincinnati, he even picked up the win!

B Zito	2.2	4	2	2	4	4	1	76-44	6.75
G Kontos	0.2	2	0	0	0	1	0	9-6	0.00

S Casilla	1.0	1	0	0	0	1	0	25-16	3.00

Shortstop · 10-18-12, 11:03 PM

I don't think this is the way Timmay wanted his season to end...

T Lincecum (L, 0-1)	4.2	6	4	4	3	3	0	91-51	5.40

Mikail · 10-18-12, 11:12 PM

wtf happened to this kid? "the freak" nothing but a has been already. pitched like shit tonight. suprised he didn't get touched up worse than he did.

Shortstop · 10-24-12, 11:16 PM

Very strong relief outing by Timmay tonight. Lincecum looked brilliant in striking out five Tigers in 2.1 innings...

B Zito (W, 1-0)	5.2	6	1	1	1	3	0	81-53	1.59
T Lincecum	2.1	0	0	0	0	5	0	32-20	0.00
J Mijares	0.1	0	0	0	0	0	0	3-3	0.00
G Kontos	0.1	2	2	2	1	0	1	17-11	54.00
J Affeldt	0.1	0	0	0	0	0	0	1-1	0.00

Shortstop · 10-28-12, 01:07 AM

Timmay with yet another strong showing coming out of the pen. I think middle relief may be his new niche...

R Vogelsong (W, 1-0)	5.2	5	4	3	104-60
T Lincecum (H, 1)	2.1	0	1	3	32-22
S Romo (S, 2)	1.0	0	0	1	17-12

Timmay looks forward to returning to the bump for his second start of Spring Training on Thursday.

Five days ago he was scratched because of a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand.

greenhippo · 03-05-13, 03:41 PM

I think he's going to bring great stuff this year. 15+ wins and ERA under 3.25

Keep an eye on his velocity, last year he Fastball dropped off two MPH, and got worse at the end of the year. Unless he figures how to get most of that velocity back or suddenly learns to radically change his style he may be in for another rough year.

Otters27 · 03-05-13, 07:51 PM

I would trust his arm. His mechanics cannot last long term.

EmpireMaker · 03-06-13, 12:33 AM

I'm going to stay away from him this season too

soccerzyko · 03-06-13, 01:14 AM

If the value is right, and I can get him right around what he's worth, I'm taking him. But definitely not going to reach for him a round or 2 ahead.

dudekid · 03-12-13, 11:39 AM

i mean he is only a couple years removed from winning multiple cy youngs...the talent is there and he can pitch lights out...just needs to get his groove back...dont reach for him but could get some nice value if he falls

koz-man · 03-12-13, 12:40 PM

Timmy is a conundrum this year. If hes around latter on the board I will have to take a chance on him.
