In an exclusive with CSN Bay Area’s Andrew Baggarly, Giants starter Tim Lincecum says that although he is presently committed to starting so long as his team needs him — and with an injured Ryan Vogelsong and struggling Matt Cain, they do — he is open to converting fully as a reliever in the future.…

Here we go again: the Tim Lincecum-Buster Posey pairing the Giants did their best to avoid throughout the second half of last season was supposed to be back on this year. Manager Bruce Bochy was very clear on that both over the winter and this spring. And, yet, Hector Sanchez will catch Lincecum for the…

Kay and I talk about a couple of aces — former aces? — who look like shells of their former selves. That and Jeter and the Yankees plus Josh Hamilton‘s return to Arlington.

Tim Lincecum‘s awful spring, in which he gave up 18 runs in 15 1/3 innings, only added to the Giants’ doubts about what they’d get from their two-time Cy Young winner this season. They’re probably no closer to figuring it out after Lincecum walked seven yet still defeated the Dodgers on Wednesday. Lincecum surrendered just…

Whatever strides Tim Lincecum made in the playoffs haven’t carried over, as the two-time Cy Young winner followed up a terrible 2012 season by posting a 10.57 ERA in five spring training starts. Lincecum had 16 strikeouts in 15 innings, but allowed 22 hits and eight walks on the way to 18 runs. That includes…

Tim Lincecum gave up five runs in three innings of work against the Oakland Athletics this afternoon, raising his spring ERA to 10.97 and his WHIP to 2.25. Coming off a season in which he finished with a 5.18 ERA in 33 starts, Lincecum’s performance thus far has not given anybody reason for optimism. CSN…

Giants starter Tim Lincecum, dealing with a blister on the middle finger of his throwing hand, received the thumbs-up from manager Bruce Bochy. The right-hander missed two starts due to the condition, but felt good after throwing a simulated game to Brock Bond, Gary Brown, and Nick Noonan. Via MLB.com’s Chris Haft, Lincecum explains his…

Tim Lincecum will be held out of his start Saturday against the Cubs because of a finger blister, with Yusmeiro Petit slated to pitch in his place. While Jon Heyman, for one, is playing this up as a sort of an annual event, this is the first time in his career that Lincecum has ever…

This is a blast from the past. Two years ago we posted about Tim Lincecum’s landlord suing him, claiming he did over $200,000 damage to his Mission District apartment between May 2010 and February 2011. It also said that he squatted in the place for three months after the lease was up, refusing to leave.…

Tim Lincecum gave up three runs and failed to make it through his two scheduled innings Tuesday against the Dodgers, but he was pleased following his first start of the spring. CSN Bay Area’s Andrew Baggarly has the quotes: “It’s a good sign,” Lincecum said, “when you feel the ball’s coming out of your hand…

Here’s a video of Tim Lincecum (and his new haircut) and Hunter Pence at Giants Fan Fest, being coaxed into doing impressions of each other in front of an adoring crowd. Lincecum initially declined to do his Pence impression because he didn’t want to embarrass himself, so Pence happily did his Lincecum impression and then…

A lot of ink was spilled last year talking about an alleged rift between Tim Lincecum and Buster Posey. One that had Hector Sanchez catching Lincecum most of the time with Posey playing first base or taking a breather. As is often the case with the opening of spring training, however, reports of any disconnect…

Ann Killion of the San Francisco Chronicle took a picture of Tim Lincecum arriving at spring training with a new look: The end of an era, or at least until it grows back. Also note how he kept the soul patch (although maybe “soul patch” is a generous description of what’s going on there). UPDATE:…

Tim Lincecum used to be skinny. Then he got kinda buff, to be honest. Then sorta got skinny again. Each time he went up or down in weight, there was a sentiment expressed that the change will do his pitching good. So: Part of Tim Lincecum’s offseason work is to gain a little weight. Trainer…

Sergio Romo wearing an “I just look illegal” t-shirt at the Giants’ championship parade yesterday was pretty funny, but my favorite picture from the event is lieutenant governor Gavin Newsom’s daughter reacting to Tim Lincecum: And the best part is that in a different picture 3-year-old Montana Newsom seems to like Romo and his crazy…

The Giants are starting Ryan Vogelsong in Game 6 of the NLCS on Sunday night against the Cardinals and will turn to Matt Cain if the series goes seven. And it’ll be all hands on deck behind them. Giants manager Bruce Bochy told Alex Pavlovic of the San Jose Mercury News that Tim Lincecum and…

Tim Lincecum posted a rough 5.18 ERA in 186 innings this season and is owed $22 million in 2013. So the Giants may do something that would have been considered unthinkable seven months ago. Here’s Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe: Tim Lincecum, RHP, Giants — He will be available in trade, and it will…

Adam Wainwright has some more cushion to work with going into the top of the sixth inning. The Cardinals tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning and currently lead the Giants 4-1 in Game 4 of the NLCS. They got the first run after Matt Carpenter just missed a home…

Cardinals get off to quick start against Tim Lincecum in Game 4 of NLCS
Oct 18, 2012, 8:36 PM EDT
Tim Lincecum appeared to find himself while pitching in the bullpen this postseason, but that success hasn’t translated in his start tonight in Game 4 of the NLCS against the Cardinals. Pitching exclusively out of the stretch, Lincecum allowed a single to Jon Jay and a walk to Matt Carpenter to begin the game before…

The Giants made it official after the Game 3 loss to the Cardinals, naming Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito their starters in St. Louis the next two days. Madison Bumgarner, who took the loss in Game 1 after allowing six runs in 3 2/3 innings, will spend the rest of the NLCS in the bullpen.…

The Giants’ Tim Lincecum said he was ready to pitch in relief tonight after throwing two scoreless innings in Sunday’s Game 1 against the Cardinals. However, it appears to be manager Bruce Bochy’s strong preference to reserve him for the Game 4 start, according to CSN Bay Area’s Andrew Baggarly. “We’d like to have that…

After beating the Reds in Thursday’s dramatic Game 5 to advance, the Giants can’t wait too long to start thinking ahead to their NLCS rotation. Whether they face the Cardinals or Nationals, it seems pretty certain that they’ll set it up so that Madison Bumgarner pitches Games 1 and 5 and Matt Cain goes in…

Tim Lincecum provides steady relief as Giants win 8-3 and force NLDS to Game 5
Oct 10, 2012, 7:50 PM EDT
The Giants looked to be in big trouble when starter Barry Zito allowed three walks and a single in the first inning of Wednesday’s NLDS Game 4 vs. the Reds and a home run to Ryan Ludwick in the third. But the fellas in the gray “San Francisco” jerseys were the ones sharing handshakes on…

The Giants unleashed a curveball Sunday, announcing that Ryan Vogelgong would get the nod in Game 3 against the Reds over Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito. This makes it possible that Lincecum will never pitch in the NLDS, as the Giants could well go to Matt Cain on three days’ rest if they extend the…

Tim Lincecum has stunk on ice for most of the year, but despite another shaky start yesterday, Bruce Bochy says he likes how Lincecum is throwing lately — he says he’s been progressing — and that it’s not gonna keep him out of the playoff rotation: That progression has earned Lincecum at least one more…
