This kind of thing (probably) ended Johan Santana's career. But Lincecum's a bit of a different beast -- he's always been super sturdy (which is funny in and of itself given how worried everyone was about his durability coming out of college). Given that it's a one-off kind of thing, I wouldn't be too worried about a guy like Lincecum.Originally posted by Judge Jude View PostComment

148 pitches total
We don't know if it will matter
we do know it was a 9-0 game
I don't even accept the "Johan destroyed by that outing" mantra
but I think dismissing concerns is a little too easy as wellfinished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

You can be concerned, but he gets the next 7-10 days off due to the break, and there's no way anyone takes him out of that game. Break his arm or not, sometimes the personal accomplishment is worth the injury risk to these players. And I'm totally fine with that. He's not even a great pitcher any longer, and he's about to be a free agent -- what risk do the Giants really have in keeping him in? And from Lincecum's perspective, of course he would never willingly come out of a game where he's pitching the no-hitter. So lament all you need to about the risk, but both sides understood it, accepted it, and shrugged it off.Originally posted by Judge Jude View Post
If I'm a Lincecum owner in a fantasy league this year, sure, I worry a little and I wait to see how he comes out in the second half. But as far as risk and concern go, Lincecum is pretty far down on the list.Comment

Congratulations to Timmah (and the Giants, and Giants fans, and Timmah owners).

With him being a free agent next year, all sides vote to leave him in...."You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

The way the fans were cheering him on, you would've thought he tossed the no-no in SF!Comment
