How An Unorthodox Pitcher Destroyed Everyone
#mlb #Timlincecum #baseball
He had a high-leg kick, an over the top arm slot, a late release point and one of the most unorthodox pitching motions in baseball. Tim lincecum’s unconventional methods, and smaller stature, led many scouts to question whether he would be equally as effective at the MLB level, but as it would turn out, his uncanny delivery and deception, would be his greatest weapon. His long hair and three seasons of utter dominance, would make him a household name. So just how did this quirky, eccentric pitcher set the MLB on fire, and how did his pitching mechanics, ultimately lead to his demise?

#kengriffeyjr #baseball #griffeyjr Ken Griffey Junior was one of the most physically gifted players to ever step onto a big league diamond. He didn’t need to juice. Neither did Barry Bonds. But Bonds, also the son of a major leaguer, took a different path, whereas Junior refused to inject synthetic hormones into his body. Much of Junior’s career must be seen from this context: his peers, McGwir...

Trevor Bauer: A Misunderstood Superstar

Angel has blown several calls, is overly confrontational and even tried suing MLB for discrimination. In a 2018 players' poll conducted by ESPN, he was voted as the worst umpire in the league, with 22% of players identifying him. In 2023, An...

This isn’t a new issue, just one that’s been swept under the rug and continues every year whenever there’s a new incident regarding a player, a coach, or anyone that has the power to affect the outcome of an actual baseball game. This has been happening throughout MLB history, incidents involving gambling and game rigging ...
The 7 Deadly Sins as MLB Teams

#baseball #mlb The seven deadly sins are a grouping of vices classified by the Christian faith as pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. Throughout history these 7 deadly sins have been used to label individuals and their sinful actions and today were going to apply Major League Baseball. There are 7 teams that I believe represent the seven deadly sins and I’ll be going over them ...
How Good Was Barry Bonds Actually?

#barrybonds #mlb #baseball Barry Bonds. Even the name itself conveys an air of controversy. No player in the one-hundred plus year history of the MLB was so dominant at the plate.

Someone so intimidating, that opposing managers time and time again elected to pitch around him, rather than face the con...

One trip, a sweep, and it was over. For the past 8 seasons, the Angels have finished with a losing record. Fangraphs have pegged the Angels as having a .4% chance of winning the World Series in 2024. They are also projected to f...

Baseball Has A Pitching Problem

#mlb #baseball Today’s major league pitchers are throwing faster than ever before. Batters are striking out more than ever before. “Pitching wins championships.” This old baseball quote was true some one-hundred years ago when it was first spoken, and has not, and will not change. What has changed however is the manner in which teams approach pitching. The methods used to scout, train, and util...

His skill set in baseball rose to the top in 2021, which is considered to be the best individual season in MLB history. And what's crazy is that he's getting even better… Born on July 5th, 1994 in ...
Steroids might be a factor. Muscles getting too strong for connective tissues to keep up is a common occurrence for PED users.
"The human body is incapable of doing so...." From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh. It disgusted me, I craved the strength and certainty of steel, I aspired to the purity of the blessing machine.
Tim Lincecum's unorthodox style and electrifying talent brought dominance and excitement to MLB. From back-to-back Cy Youngs to three World Series titles, 'The Freak' redefined what a pitcher could be, leaving a legacy that endures despite his abrupt decline. #MLBLegend
Miss the freak
He started gaining weight, which leads to injuries.....
Baseball should make steroids a requirement it makes the game more exciting and the Barry bonds debate is stupid
Game was already boring. Now it is more boring.
That's what I'm saying in the modern mlb hitters have the advantage 100 percent it's all about home runs now because look at the dodgers Texas Yankees all have amazing hitters and shitty bullpen and amazing starters
You hit the most home runs you win
Just like in football the only thing that matters now is throwing the ball not ruining it in baseball it's all about home runs
Nowadays
I think they are using different ways to track pitch speed too though, where they measure the speed out of the hand rather than using radar for when it gets to the plate. If measured "traditionally", the guys throwing 105 mph, would actually only be throwing about 98 before. Whereas guys who threw 100 mph before (almost no one did), would be around 107-108 if measured now. So the 106 guys are really around 98-99 mph using traditional measurements. The increased strikeout rates can be just a skill decline. Baseball culture is not what it used to be. Though there's also very advanced scouting, tapes, programs to do pitch tracking rather than just have tapes and use paper so the weaknesses of batters are much easier to log. You used to have to make a whole binder or multiple of them full of batters to keep track (some pitchers did this) so they knew how to keep getting guys out.
As a cubs fan, this makes me think what could have been lol
He prioritized money and comfort over winning. He's the only one to blame. Not the club.
That's because of that Kenny Powers show on HBO in 2012 a whole generation of baseball players grew up watching that so that's how they fucking behave now
Let the man play
the Angels make a hobby out of fucking utterly wasting top tier players. At least Ohtani escaped.
pitchers from ten years ago dont really matter today. if they dont play today what they did ten years ago isnt important or meaningful today
The skills and development are part of a timeline. If the pitchers 10 years ago had the training, technology and resources would they not be just as good as current era players? I get the point you're making
Sports like Football and Baseball afraid to make drastic changes to improve their games. Just slight rule changes over the course of 40 years now.
More pitchers in the game a max on how much they can throw pr game meaning there can be a tactical on which pitcher you use when in the game,
Human growth hormone. It's untraceable. The players are bigger and stronger, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Our roided guy beat your roided guy 🤷🏻♂️
That's where cricket comes.
Everyone obsesses with how fast Walter Johnson threw. No one tries to figure out how he threw 5900+ innings and was still viable to the end.
Did you show a New York Giants sign instead of of San Francisco Giants?
I was thinking "I don't remember this happening to Mike Trout, I recall his career being different." It seemed kind of fishy to me but then I realized that I was thinking of Tim Salmon and not Mike Trout. In any event, both players played for the California Angels........I guess that would make them Angel Fish? 🐠.............🥁
As a Canadian baseball fan who works in metric I can only assume all these speeds are...fast? Some annotations for those of us not using "Freedom Units" would be appreciated.
A good regular season player. Injury prone. Nothing fancy about this guy. Put up some nice numbers. Didn't do squat in October. Never played in October really......well he didn't play often anyway. I would call his career above average. He is the Mitch Richmond of the MLB.
Does the pitcher's intention actually get integrated into the 'accuracy' stat that evaluates pitchers? How can you verify where the pitcher wanted the ball to go without speculating or taking self-report responses from the pitchers after every pitch?
Tim lincecum is my history teachers cousin
Just imagine Trevor Bauer with the 2024 Dodgers.
UA-cam has a Photoshop problem.
I've never heard of 'Mindinanapolis' MN...is that the one next to St Paul?
Awesome video, Shohei will go down in history as the best two-way player.
Late comment I know but here's my take: Right now, baseball is in a sort of period where the pitchers are getting injured more & more frequently. Same thing happened in cricket, earlier say in the 90s and 2000s EVERYONE was bowling (pitching/throwing if you wanna use baseball terminology) 93 mph like its nothing and EVERYONE was getting injured. Say after a decade and a half, all of the coaches were telling them, bowl 83 mph, bowl slower etc. Now everyone's bowling around 83-87 if you only count the fast bowlers (there are guys called the spinners but they bowl 57 mph on avg and their focus is on making the ball deviate after bouncing (yes we can do that in cricket) by spinning the ball like all hell), so you dont see people lighting up the speedometer that much. I think baseball will enter this stage after say a decade, 5 years at best.
Just legalize and approve steroids ffs
it'll self-correct. like steph curry in the NBA. small ball will be back.
Never been a huge baseball fan but growing up I was a Ken Griffey jr fan
The Jose laugh is prob bc they friends from Cleveland

Mike trout is really good but overrated
he destroyed himself
Mike Trout Needs 22 homeruns to get 400. He could’ve easily got that this year if he never got hurt. He had 10 home runs just in April and then got hurt. I truly do feel sorry for my man Mike Trout but at the same time he chose to sign that 12 years and commit his loyalty to the Angels
Dude is set to make $200 million bucks over the next 6 years so forgive me if I’m not shedding any tears for poor Mike Trout. I’m sure he could have taken a pay cut to play on an actual decent team, but clearly being a multi-millionaire and living in Southern California was more important to him than playing for a real team.
expos
After watching the Theo podcast with Bauer it makes alot of sense. Cole criticized his work ethic yet bauer grew up loving the game and commiting all his time to play and get better rather than hang out and get a social life. He was just a kid who loved baseball so much and wanted nothing else but to play the game. Those girls only tried to use him especially the second woman. im so glad he got it appealed and is now suing them both back.
Saying “leading to his demise” is misleading at best… he has 3 rings and every player eventually fades. He did what most will not and got old. Period. He is the freak we needed and he delivered
Multiple Cy Young and multiple no-hitters and multiple WS Champion? Not many have players have those bragging rights.
Inevitably uses the word inevitably incorrectly and way too often.
So basically Tim was HIM 🙌🏻
The players were scared of getting it with the ball. Losing focus n causing more strikes
As a Dodgers fan this guy was my favorite pitcher.
I would take a gamble on Trout, some club should take a chance on him
Loss, pain, suffering??? Wahhhhhh!! Cry me a river... Not a leader or winner. Period. Its all about the benjamins
