Yep! Also, not fond of the way Zito has pitched and not getting run support! Also SportsOptions reporting that Posey is doubtful tonight with an arm injury which means Whiteside will be catching Zito! Best of luck to you today! :toast:

gl today ted..what has happened to lincecum in your opinion? 0-5 this month, never thought i would see that after the last 2 years..did the Giants overwork him last 2 years? Is his herky jerky windup taking it's toll on his arm?

Thank you. As for Lincecum, he is not overworked but has serious mechanical problems with his delivery that he can't work out and he has lost his confidence because of it. In 2008, his fastball was 95-96 mph. Now, it is only 92 mph because of his delivery issues which is very hitable by major leaguers. This makes his change-up much less affective. He even went back to his delivery in college to try and make it work but with worse results. All this has affected his confidence and shows in is inability to locate his pitches consistently. Not sure he will be able to work it out the remainder of this season. He may have a few decent outings remaining but he won't be the dominant pitcher he has been until next spring IMHO.

Best of luck to you today! :toast:
