Open Thread: Game 70 - A's vs. Giants (cont)

The only rule about facing Tim Lincecum: Don't give up any runs. Mazzaro opened the game with two, 2-run innings, putting the A's in a 4-0 hole. Giambi has homered to get one run back, but the A's have six innings to score three more.

He is throwing too many strikes
and too many good pitches for this lineup to get much of anything
by Trainman on Jun 23, 2009 8:06 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Which boils down to: he's a very good pitcher and this is a group of very bad hitters.

agree 100%
Lincecum is a tremendously good awesome pitcher. I mean, the guy won the CY Award last year while playing for a real bad team. Losing tonight, while painful to watch, would not exactly be a surprise. Last Sunday’s loss was much harder to take.

If you use career numbers as a baseline
than Holliday should get smoking hot at some point this season. Unfortunately it will probably happen after he is traded for another “prospect” that never pans out.

Yeah, but with Nomar you know what you're going to get:
He’s going to swing early in the count, make contact, and probably hit the ball hard. (And with Lincecum-Hannahan, you’ll get a K.) So you take Nomar as he is and hope he finds a hole; he didn’t.

You need someone a bit patient at that point and someone who can actually run. Nomar is neither. And Normar is too rusty to rely on.
