Their Ace, and hero Tim Lincecum seems to have something wrong.  No one quite knows what the issue is, but believe you me, everyone and I do mean everyone has an opinion on why.  The issue is that Tim seems to have become normal.  He is pitching like a normal Major League pitcher, rather than a superstar, 2 year Cy Young winner.  Suddenly his walks are up, his velocity is down, he isn’t dominating games and the sky is falling.  Keep in mind that he isn’t really losing, just not pitching to his standards.

 

I talked to one fan who says this has happened before and he’ll snap out of it.

 

I heard on the radio the fear that he has been pushed to hard and now will never be the same.

 

I heard on the radio the fear that he is hiding something deeper and this could be here for a while.

 

I heard on the radio that Tim’s dad feels that he isn’t doing enough throwing and needs to do more long toss between games.

 

I heard on the radio that perhaps just other teams have figured him out a little and now he has to adjust again.

 

Catch the trend on the radio?  Those are all from different times on the radio in the last 3 days.  Yeah, that’s all you hear about up here.  On, and on, and on.  Oh yeah, that and that the Giants have no offense.

 

My thoughts – he’ll figure it out.  He’s a stud and he’ll be fine.  You just win two Cy Young awards.  He’ll bounce back.

I do love knowing that the Dodgers are doing good now and that the Giants are worried.  Ahh, all seems to be right in the world again.  Go Blue.
