Lincecum’s delivery was something else…
The Freak had one of my favorite careers. Had his hip not gave out on him, and he stayed healthy... That's a scary thing to think of. 2 no hitters, 2 Cy Young Awards and 2 World Series rings. Pretty close to Hall of Fame IMO

Lincecum entered his prime while I was still playing hs baseball. I just remember him being so electric to watch with those dynamic mechanics. He'll always be one of my favorite pitchers!

And the fact he pitched both of his no hitters when he was past his prime
Back when baseball was baseball
Lincecum gave all he could handle with his physique. Beautiful career.

He had like 4 years of pure dominance, but then it all came down. Even by 2010, his dominance was coming to an end. Amazing mechanics, legend of a pitcher. Beautiful career? Maybe. I wouldn't say that.

Back when SP actually pitched more than 5 innings or 3 times thru the lineup or a 100 pitches. Sad what we get now.
Thanks for this!
Valuable video!!!!!!!
This was pretty much the highlight for the Dodgers in 2011. That season was not fun. This was also the infamous Bryan Stow.

That pitching rotation for giants is scary 😂. Also miss seeing Miguel tajeda play
Nice pitching duel and fielding for both teams
Vi este juego ese dia, no puedo creer que ya pasaron 13 años.
Brian Sabien wasn’t lying about belt, the org kept him, and then kept him some more
Thank GOD for the pitch clock. That's my takeaway from this game, I was in 10th grade during this season and could stay up all night and watch full games, I wouldn't be able to do it right now. These guys are literally taking 3 minutes to make one pitch with all the stepping off the mound and pickoff attempts.

After the game was when giants fan Bryan stow was burutally beaten up in the parking lot.
Nothing beats the starting pitchers who were around in this area
OMG I have an idea MLB should do to get people into watching it more. The NFL does a primetime game as the first game of the year. The MLB should do the same thing. Hype it up two of the best teams head to head the only game on that night and have it being like a playoff atmosphere. That would help MLB so much.

Remember when MLB had great starters who could go the distance and not the snowflakes we have now who average 4 innings per start? The game's really gone downhill.

@@Will97675 I think a combination of throwing harder and teams not developing their prospects properly -- handling young minor league pitchers with kid gloves, and this way they never learn to handle the rigours of a long start. And, as you say, they still get hurt! I don't know if the people in charge of MLB realize how much this is hurting the game. Pitching aces used to be rock stars. Now everyone's a reliever. It's so much less interesting. This era we see in this video (10-15 years ago) was the last gasp for the days of great starting pitching.

Blame ownership a bunch of fragile boomers who don’t want to lose a cent on the money they spend on these pitchers. They treat them like a Ferrari that they’ll baby and not take out so it will last longer and keep its value. They care more about money than winning. Pitchers absolutely have no say in how many inning they will pitch each game. My girlfriends father works in a MLB front office and after a few drinks at a cookout he’ll spill all kinds of things to everyone listening

@@hmor The Blue Jays have a prospect in their minor league system named Ricky Tiedemann -- frequently ranked very high on most top prospects lists. He started 11 games last year and threw for 32 innings. That's an average of less than 3 innings per start. And he's still hurt all the time. It's just absurd. This guy doesn't even know what's it's like to pitch late into a game.
