Lincecum and Steve Carlton are the only pitchers since 1922 to have a record 13 games above .500 for a team at least 13 games BELOW .500

How many right-handed pitchers have matched Lincecums incredible ERA, K's, Opponents batting avg, Wins, and Winning % in any season in history? 1. Pedro Martinez in 1999.


now imagine if he did that for NY, BOS, CHI or a team that was going to the playoffs OR in a big market. You guys would have to hear about it everywhere except for just here :D

Or imagine if he had done that in a league with a DH or a division as hard as the AL East...

With any other pitcher I'd agree with you, but the only comp to Tim Lincecum in baseball history is Sandy Koufax, he's a generational talent.
