Kawakami: It's time for Tim Lincecum and the Giants to stop pretending and accept reality: He has pitched himself out of the starting rotation

"Bochy said he didn’t know if Lincecum would make his next start—scheduled for Thursday at home against Colorado.

For his part, Lincecum said he’d understand if the Giants use another starter in that game.

Which is combined Giants code for: We tried and tried, this isn’t working, maybe it’d be good to get Yusmeiro Petit back into the rotation."

Who are two guys that are infinitely better than Timmah?

A is Strasburg, B is Bumgarner.

Strikes him out on an easy take ball.

Noice

A is Strasburg, B is Bumgarner.

Wow.

I am shocked at that. I knew Bum had fallen off the CY map, but I didn't realize he was comparable to Timmeh now...

Cabrera double 5-2 Giants

I hope Vogey can finish at least five with the lead.

 

[Band of Brothers]

4 walks today

Vogey has a steam going as Rags visits the mound

 

[calsnowskier]

Vogey has done great this year, but does he realistically have the stamina to be a SP anymore?

 

[Band of Brothers]

Huge 2-0 pitch to get the last out. That's Vogey right there..the general

Well, guys, I am out to see Guardians with my nephews.

Hold this one down and break the streak!

 

[Band of Brothers]

Panik almost has a Wade Boggs approach at the plate.

Looks like Crawford had a little extra sugar on his cereal this morning. He is stroking the ball today.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Atlanta losing 5-1 in the 7th

Cards also losing 5-1 Top 7

 

[Band of Brothers]

MLB has to start keeping these batters in the box between pitches. As Kruk just said...ridiculous

Maybe...if your 5th starter (Tim is that at best) can give you maybe half his starts where you have a chance to win, that's pretty typical. He has what, 7 more starts? I just don't see who could do any better this year.

 

[Band of Brothers]

The rule is 12 seconds but every pitch should be thrown within 15-18 seconds not 30 +

Vogey has done great this year, but does he realistically have the stamina to be a SP anymore?

If not Peavy will replace him next year

Panik smooth at 2nd
