The 2014 MLB Random Thoughts Thread

[HHR]

My point is that he was average as fukk long before he got to SF.

He had ONE really great season, when he won the CY in 2001.

But he had an ERA+ of 110 in his last 3 years in Oakland.

Lincecum's just done. I've given up on him.

we're paying him 17.5 million per FOR TWO YEARS.

TWO YEARS, fully knowing his velocity is down to nearly zitos FB velocity only sabean would do this type of contract

I guess we have two WS titles to fall back on, but its absolutely mind-boggling

Lincecum is biazarre though

His velo is down....but he's still getting Ks....he just keeps giving up hits and HRs with people on base.

Is he just a lot worse from the stretch now?

Im not sure what exactly is wrong
but hes all over the place. he still walks people. yeah he still ks with changeup but since his fb is like 90-91, the changeup isnt fooling many and when its hit, its hit HARD. dude is getting teed off, I think his baa is like .350 or something lol. the homers might be an aberration, but since hes a flyball pitcher I dont know...

to be fair, cain has been getting hit hard this year too, but I think cain just has his luck reversed from all those years he fooled sabermetrics
lincecum just looks lost out there in most cases. its a struggle watching him pitch and struggle

Vin Scully just blew my mind

 

[Horoyoi]

i heard vin say that during the game and had the same reaction..
but that tweet is a little off.. he was referring to the batter after the batter on deck..
it has its origins as some naval term..

Brehs, can we all discuss where one Frederick Charles Freeman ranks among the very best players in the league?

He has pretty much everything you need: defense, average, power, clutch. He gotta be top 10 among position players.

Nolan Arenado is fukking ridiculous.
