Timmy is a strikeout pitcher who throws a lot of pitches and prides himself on going deep into ballgames. Last year with a tight pennant race in Aug and Sept and the World Series to follow, he threw a lot of innings under intense pressure. Any professional athlete will tell you this is both physically and mentally demanding and feel like double the amount of work.
It is true he struggled last year at this point in the season as well but not to this extent. What the Freak needs is a good dose of early run support in a couple consecutive games followed by a relaxing All-Star break. Whatever the doctor orders you can rest assure of one thing. Slumping or not, Lincecum will rise above and dominate down the stretch no matter how his season has gone. Unlike athletes such as LeBron James, Timmy is a tried and true closer in money time with the ability to dig deeper when it counts the most. www.LetTimmySmoke.com
