Lincecum Velocity Down - Overreaction Thread

Lincecum Velocity Down - Overreaction Thread

Ok i know i know no need to worry about Timmy. If the guy throws in the low eighties he might still be sporting a high 2.0 era. But it comes without saying that a 25 year old who has already pitched 177 IP in 2007, 227 in 2008 and already 197 IP in 2009 is mysteriously losing 3-5 mph off his pitches. I like that fact that his command is up (2.5BB/9) but is it time to start worrying as we are chasing down a Wild Card/NL West playoff spot?

God i hope everything is all good....

Jeff Kent - Boo or Cheer

cazzuno — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:13:48 -0000

Jeff Kent on KNBR with Murph and Mac it will probably be up on there site in case you missed it....but the question is do we cheer him or boo tomorrow night at the Giants game???

He was a Dodger but also one of our best cleanup hitters (remember we used to have hitters hitting .330 with 30 jacks 100+ rbi). Memorable incidents include "truck washing/motorcycle injury", MVP awards, "Enjoy the game" comments on KNBR and constant Bonds arguments. He might be the only player in MLB still with a porn mustache & not on steroids playing between '95-04.

Its simple do i Boo or Cheer? Personnaly i am cheering

Dodgers Suck & Trading for Vmart & Lee??

cazzuno — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 21:11:17 -0000

Ok guys MLBTR has the f'in dodgers trying to trade for both Vmart & Lee. Billingsley/Kershaw, & Loney plus minor leaguers are being mentioned. Obviously Sabeans doesn't have the cajones to pull off a trade like this but I might be ok with that cuz it will probably cost a massive package like MadBum, Posey + much more

I am semi-ok with the trade expecially if the deal includes Kershaw, Billingsley, and Loney. Essentially they would break up one of the best young teams for two-three (hopefully) years of two very good older players. What do you guys think? Obviously this makes the freaking Dodgers WS contenders but even with that trade I dont know if it puts them over the top...and if it does i know a great Voodoo witch doctor

Athletes as Role Models??? Thats Crazy

Athletes as Role Models??? Thats Crazy

Usually pro athletes are the farthest thing from role models and should all be classified as douchebags. The only exception to the rule has to be Hockey players who 1) act like human beings 2) typically respect their opponents and sport more than any other athlete 3) aren't dumb apes who walk around scratching their nuts. So it was nice to read the following story from Affeldt. Go giants

Pro ETA for MadBum Timmy2

Pro ETA for MadBum Timmy2

Personally Kawakami isnt my favorite giants writer but there is some good information on Mad Bum and Timmy2 compared to some of the other talents in the MLBs.

What is your prediction for these two guys coming up to the majors?

After Sanchez...whats next

cazzuno — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:47:56 -0000

Whether it happens in May or in July it seems like good ol' dirty sanchez will be traded for a bat playing 2b,1b, LF or hopefully someone that can play all three at the same time.

My question is who is coming up to replace Sanchez in the rotation? Will it be a top prospect in AA, a solid young pitcher in AAA, a former prospect, or a free agent?

Personnally i wouldnt mind a flyer on a Free Agent like Byrd, who wont blow anyone away with stuff but also wont derail Pucetas/Sosa but i realize that having Johnson/Byrd in the same rotation is living dangerous so i am going with Pucetas.

Rich Aurilia - Still alive, but done as a player

cazzuno — Fri, 15 May 2009 19:13:11 -0000

Remember 2001 with 206 hits and 37 jacks....well its 2009 and he's batting .152 and is 0 for 15 over past 7 games with 5 K.

It's about time Richie gets the pink slip. I don't mind RIchie anchoring Giants baseball games with Dave Roberts but if i see Rich Aurilia PH and strike out with runners in scoring position one more time i am killing the first Dodger hat wearing douche that i see.
