He could never pitch on the East Coast I dont think. He would weigh about 125 after pitching every game in that humidity. Seattle will be the perfect place for him to to pitch in 2014.

Take pitches= win games

Swing at everything= lose games

It's not f**king rocket science.

Agreed. Especially when the weather is hot, make the pitcher work.

Cant blame the batting order though. They lose all sense of hope whenever Timmy just gives away games.

Looking at the schedule, could the Giants have switched Bumgarner and Lincecum tonight so Lincecum could pitch in the morning game tomorrow? I think so...a lot cooler at 11 AM and Bum is obviously used to this kind of weather. It would have been 4 days off for Bum, and with the All Star game coming up...

It would have taken some outside the box thinking...

I guess it is safe to say that the catcher cant be blamed on Lincecum's suckage. I dont think it matters who is behind the plate at this point, Timmy wont be fixed that way.

Yes. It is safe to say that it wouldnt matter if Timmy had Johnny Bench behind the plate. His command is just awful.

I am not a fan of the personal catcher...I think it is a bunch of BS.
