Super-Freak Rookie Tim Lincecum Starts Today

I'm absolutely on the Tim Lincecum bandwagon, so I just wanted to highlight that he's starting today against Milwaukee; first pitch is at 3:55 EST.

T. Lincecum (4-2, 4.37 ERA)
vs.
D. Bush (8-7, 4.84 ERA)

Tim had a great May, really rough June, but he's come back strong in July.

July Stats:
3 starts
19 1/3 Innings
2-0
1.86 ERA
0.98 WHIP
8 BB
25 K
.169 BAA

So forget about the whole Bonds hoopla - if you have Extra Innings, or can catch this on your San Fran or Milwaukee sports channel, watch this game to see Lincecum work his magic. He'll continue to have his ups and downs, but he's got nasty stuff & I've seen him make the some of the best hitters in the majors look stupid...

Post Game Update - San Francisco wins 8-0 - Not a bad day at the office for Mr. Lincecum. A win, 8 IP, 4 hits allowed, 1 BB & 8 K's...oh yeah, and he threw 73 of his 103 pitches for strikes - that's 71%, which is an awesome ratio. Keep it up Tim!
