What happened to Greinke and Lincecum? Two of my 11 future 300 win guys go down to defeat. That was not supposed to happen.
It is kind of like watching the fly ball hit to Canseco a number of years back, the one that hit him in the head and bounced over the fence. Those kind of things are totally unexpected, unless you are using the juice, then I guess your head can propel fly balls over fences.
I expected to see Lincecum and Greinke win and they didn't. I didn't expect Lannan and Owings to over acheive and yet they did.
At the end of the night Lannan picks up a nice road win in New York against the hated Yankees. he pitches 8 1/3 and surrenders only 4hits and K's four, that is win #4 on the year. Great pitching by the 25 year old.
Owings has got to be the best hitting pitcher in baseball. In a game in which he won 4-3, Owings hit a 3 run homer. Micah has now had 150+ plate appearances in the bigs and he has a batting average of .309, with 7 HR. I am now going to put on my mathematician hat and project his numbers. If Owings were to have 500 AB's during a year, he would hit close to 25 HR's and have over 100 RBI"s. Pretty darn impressive, don't you think.
After all that I am going to give Owings and Lannan a thumbs up and Greinke and Lincecum a thumbs down.
