Typical Lincecum

Tim Lincecum's first inning today pretty much summed up his whole season. He allowed a leadoff double to Victorino, then struck out Brunlett and Utley and retired Howard on a long fly. Batters are now 4 for 39 with runners in scoring position against Tim with 17 strikeouts.

Update: Lincecum does it again. Burrell doubles leading off the inning. Lincecum does give up a single, but Pat can only move to third. He strikes out two more and comes out of the inning unscathed. Still no score in Philadelphia.

Update: Burrell doubles in the third inning with two on to plate two for the Phillies. The runs against Lincecum were unearned as he almost over came an error leading off the inning.

I'd have never pitched to Burrell with first base open, especially as hot as Burrell is right now. I'd have taken my chances with Geoff Jenkins, who Lincecum then struck out rather easily. He could have been out of the inning without giving up the runs, earned or not.
