Giants' lose 10-2 to Rockies

San Francisco Chronicle — Giants' lose 10-2 to Rockies When the Giants completed a 7-3 homestand by outscoring the Braves 23-4 over the final three games, folks could daydream about more October baseball. The pitching has been dreadful, with the starters allowing eight, eight, six, nine and six runs in this turn through the rotation, the final six charged to Tim Lincecum in five innings Saturday. Ten of those 37 runs were unearned, thanks to some of the 12 errors this supposed pitching-and-defense team has committed, including three more Saturday after Bochy closed the clubhouse doors and told the team to focus on ...

POSTGAME NOTES: Giants not panicking after latest rough night

Giants Extra | San Jose Mercury News — How do you explain this? I’m not even sure the guys in the clubhouse know how to properly do so. Tim Lincecum said he thinks players are trying to do too much, a notion Hunter Pence agreed with, saying each guy has to trust himself at the plate, on the mound and in the field. [...]

The pitch types of the Giants' starting pitchers

McCovey Chronicles — Over at Getting Blanked, there's an interview with Tim Lincecum that's well worth your time. Lincecum talks with Drew Fairservice about his approach to pitching (Lincecum's, not Fairservice's, which is horrible). Buried at the bottom, though, is a cheeky quote about Madison Bumgarner: He gets a little happy with that slider but he gets a lot of outs with it. It’s one of those things, like (Greg) Maddux said: if they can’t hit it, I’m just going to keep throwing it. A little happy with that slider! Lincecum's not off, though. Bumgarner throws a ton of sliders. Here's his pitch breakdo...

Tim Lincecum and the Giants in the pink vs. Braves

McCovey Chronicles — The Braves are a great matchup for Tim Lincecum. They don't quite swing at everything, but they are, as a group, hitters that play into his hand quite well. In case you didn't know, they strike out a lot (#2 in all of baseball). Now, Grant has reiterated that Lincecum's more of a thrower than a pitcher right now, so, it wouldn't be fair to say that he pitches the Braves better than other teams, but I think it's fair to say that his location mistakes have a better chance of sneaking past them on account of the changes in speed. The pitch speed could have a lot to do with the game Posey ...

Giants Extra | San Jose Mercury News — The Giants were in a similar situation a year ago, when Tim Lincecum had trouble going deep into games and put up some stat lines that would have been unimaginable in previous years. Manager Bruce Bochy never wavered, never talked seriously of taking Lincecum out of the rotation or skipping a start or two. This [...]

The Time Has Probably Come For Tim Lincecum

Thoughts on Tim Lincecum and a second straight Giants loss

McCovey Chronicles — I've wanted to make love to a lot of different pitches in my time. Like, a ton. You don't want to browse through my Chrome history. Tonight's unrequited love was the first pitch Tim Lincecum threw to Chase Utley in the first inning. It was 94, with movement that brought it back over the plate. Utley lifted his hands, and the pitch went right under them, back into the strike zone. It was an unambiguous strike. And it wasn't anything a hitter would swing at. It was pitching. Remember that? Pitching. It was throwing a baseball with a plan. The first pitch sets up the second pitch, which ...
