Im curious to know what puts Lincecum over Bumgarner in your book?
Lincecum started off like such a legend, but the last 5 years hes struggled so badly, it hurt his legacy. Watching him go from the best pitcher in the game, to getting booted out of the rotation multiple times was hard to watch.
I think hes going to become the most accomplished pitcher to not be in the Hall of Fame. Its weird that him and Koufax are the only pitchers in history to have 2+ rings, 2+ CY awards, and 2+ no-hitters, but I dont think Lincecum has any shot at the Hall.
Simple. He was the star of the 2010 team that finally ended my misery as a Giants fan. He was the best pitcher in baseball and a rock star in SF. I dont know if Bum will ever become as popular as Timmy was in his prime years. But I did put them 3-4. Not like its much of a difference.
Fair enough. Timmy lost some credibility with me during the following years where he basically told his dad to get lost, and his mechanics suffered. Age had its part in his downfall, but I cant help but thinking it was no coincidence that he dropped off after he stopped working with his dad.
