 lincecum had his worst outing of the year but his team managed to battle back and get 7 runs but of course the bull pen couldn't hold a 2 run lead for 9 outs. the dbacks took the lead on a wild pitch after uribe botched a talor made double play the previous play

nothing was fixed. lincecum had no control and proved that he is not a top 3 pitcher in the MLB. I had it on the back end of a 6 team parlay and it destroyed it for me.

I thought the line looked a little short, so I went with the Dbacks RL. Was feeling a little on tilt after the Reds moose earlier, so when I saw the line for this game, I pounced without putting much thought into it. Don't know why it was short, and don't care...maybe it wasnt, but I came out a winner. Should of went with AZ ML, but you know what they say about hindsight.

Back to back Cy Young awards and dominant up until tonight's showing, and you're ready to declare he's not a top 3 pitcher? After one poor outing?

I think the most shocking aspect of the game was that the Gianst got 7 runs of offense and Lincecum was never close to winning the game.

I know more about baseball than you ever will in your life, both in a nuanced, statistical form and also from experience stemming from actually playing the game. When I make a statement, do not question it. Lincecum is not a top 3 pitcher in the MLB.

Make up all of the lies you want. The fact of the matter is, right now, Lincecum is not a top 3 pitcher in baseball. The stats show it, this is not an opinion.

Ok pal,whatever you say...He is the best pitcher in baseball...There is not 1 manager or owner right now that wouldn't pick him as there number 1 pitcher to have on their roster..He is what you start a franchise around...Just because another player has better stats at the present time doesn't make him the better player.

Marlon Byrd has a higher batting average than Albert Pujols right now...Does that make him a better hitter? I didn't think so...go to bed and maybe tomorrow will be your day to make sense

Except that we're not talking about a guy like marlon byrd, but rather guys like Roy Halladay and Ubaldo Jimenez. We're not talking about last year. Also, Rutgers baseball is garbage.

I was happy to sit back in the cheap seats and watch this brouhaha and see how it unfolds but then you went and got all loco on us esai and said that your statements are above being questioned and demanded that we do not question you.

That was some funny shit.

Glad you googled Fred Hill,jackass....And it is far from garbage...Jimenez is having the better year so far but that doesn't make him the better pitcher...So you use stats when it benefits your argument but disregard them when it doesn't work in your favor...You are getting shredded up here pal,go argue with someone who is not as knowledgeable as me...Take care,have a good night

I know who the guy is. Seton Hall crushes them on a yearly basis. The sabermetrical stats back up what I say, otherwise I wouldn't say it.

If you change who the top 3 pitchers are in baseball on a start by start basis, then that's just stupid. If that's the case then Roy Halladay lost earlier this week and was beaten up (for him) by the Giants earlier this year. Even with those two starts I would still put him in the top 3 pitchers in baseball. Ubaldo Jimenez lost to the punchless Dodgers a couple of weeks ago, but he's still up there in the top 5-10 for me. The truth is every pitcher will have outings where they just don't have it. That doesn't mean they aren't a top pitcher. My two cents is that Tim Lincecum is a top 3-5 pitcher.

Gentlemen, I've played baseball and still do at 42. I do not believe the game is fixed at all.  But its become very obvious to me that some players take advantage of the "guaranteed" contract (i.e. our good friend from the Marlins) and there's a HUGE talent drop-off from starting pitching to bullpen. 

Its baseball, shit happens.  These coaches to do figure out quicker what pitchers have their stuff on a given day and who doesnt and react accordingly.

Burned yesterday on Reds, Blue Jays and SF. 

Thats my take.  Lets try to help eachother out here.  At the end of the day, its about beating the man.

Lastly, interleague is brutal.  Tread carefully and GL.

Bottom line is don't do a 6-team parlay.  I learned my lesson on parlays, they are fun and those payoffs look great, but you'll never win in the end.  

Good luck on the day everyone!
