nvpacchi said:IMO he had no business winning the CY Young last year. Nonetheless he is something to watch!
On Mike & Mike this morning they said that Lincecum created 31 swinging strikes against Atlanta. The most in the regular season for one start (by any starting pitcher) was 26!
If Doc and Tim meet in the NLCS that will be epic
usedtobefast said:why should he not have won the cy young?
dully noted.nvpacchi said:Personally I think Carpenter should have won it (nothing against Lincecum though, its not like he was unworthy, I just feel Carpenter was better).
Especially if you look at their pitching down the stretch. Both pitchers were pitching for the right to make the playoffs, Carpenter posted a 3-1 record with a 2.41 ERA in Sept/OCT, while Lincecum was 2-3 with a 3.38 ERA. Not shabby numbers from Lincecum by any means, but when your team is in the playoff hunt, it is time to elevate your game, not take a step back.
Adam Wainwright may have been more worthy too. He posted a 10-2 record 2.10 ERA in the second half. Lincecum 5-5 record with a 2.67 ERA in the second half
