Giants Links 4/11


It's Friday and that means it's time for some links. Here is the best of the best from around the web:

Giants Links:

Inside the numbers: a look at the Giants’ (early) two-out magic (BASG)

I wrote about the Giants early success with two-outs and if you can expect that to continue.

The new Matt Cain (McCovey Chronicles)

Chris Quick, formerly of Bay City Ball, wrote about how Matt Cain has evolved over the years. A very interesting post that I wish I had thought to write.

All The Home Runs Of Brandon Belt (El Lefty Malo)

Title is pretty self explanatory

Giants might not have room for Pablo Sandoval (BASG)

With talks suspended between the Giants and Sandoval, the Sandoval era could be coming to a close and Steve takes a closer look at why that might be the case.

Tim Lincecum's Declining Fastball Usage


Today's graph illustrates Tim Lincecum's fastball usage since 2007.

The graph really points out how much Lincecum has changed as a pitcher as he as lost velocity on his fastball.  He has moved from the young phenom with a big fastball to a "savvy" vet trying to get by with secondary pitches.

The two games so far this season have not had great results but hey at least he has a 12 to 1 strikeout to walk ratio.
