It's good to hear from someone who has watched Lincecum closely. -jjinazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697776280178146413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-87638732928104809992007-02-20T18:50:00.000-05:002007-02-20T18:50:00.000-05:00I watched every one of Lincecum's college outings ...I watched every one of Lincecum's college outings except one or two and I've always been irritated with the notion that exists that his delivery or mechanics are problematic ... In my opinion, his mechanics are perfect and put much less strain than normal on his arm. Unusual, perhaps, but to me, his delivery should be copied, not changed. For a guy his size to get that much velocity and NEVER be sore or miss a turn or anything of the nature tends to show that he's doing something very right, not wrong. (not to pick on anyone here ... you're not the first to repeat the idea that his delivery raises questions).<BR/><BR/>Of course, only time will tell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-61560214839081051812007-02-20T15:11:00.000-05:002007-02-20T15:11:00.000-05:00woulda/coulda/shoulda.

If the delivery is a potential problem--especially in terms of injury, but also in terms of control lapses or something similar--now's the time to try to fix it. You can always go back. <BR/><BR/>Unless the owner has genuine expertise, I agree, they should rely on their people to do the coaching. -jjinazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697776280178146413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23241716.post-50629670227240291922007-02-20T12:17:00.000-05:002007-02-20T12:17:00.000-05:00The thing that worries me about Lincecum is both h...The thing that worries me about Lincecum is both his size and his mechanics. The Giants pitching coach does not like his mechanics, but the owner stepped in and said that no one is allowed to tinker with Lincecums mechanics. Something seems wrong to me when a non baseball guy steps in to tell a coach, not to try and coach a player.Doug Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06429070071208586169noreply@blogger.com
