Tim Lincecum

All the hype about that guy.  When not playing the Astros, he is now 1-1 with a 7.09 ERA over 33 innings.

He may still end up being dominant, but he's got some work to do.

Despite some of the other Astro opponent success stories this year, I don't think this is one of them:

Lincecum in May:  2-0, 3.24 ERA, 33-11 K/BB

Lincecum in June:  0-1, 9.82 ERA, 15-10 K/BB

  Location and changeup.  The guy could be real dominant in time if he can hold up.

He was throwing some filthy breaking balls in the start I watched him against us.  If he can learn to pitch close to that level consistently, he's going to have a very long career.
Crazy Joe McCluskey was fucking nuts.  It's why they called him Crazy Joe.

yeah, the sf papers are saying that the problem is location.
