Chart Observations: SF @ ATL

1) Tim Lincecum: 89 pitches. 6 strikes swinging. Fastball (1st), Curveball (5th), 4 Changeups (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th)
  • Tim came from an over the top release and showed a fastball wtih good run in on righties with good sink, a change with great fade from lefties with great sink that is his out pitch to both lefties and righties, a sharp 12-6 curve with above average depth that can be a strikeout pitch and a sharp 1-7 slider with above average bite. Battled his command a little bit.

  • Jurrjens came from an over the top release with a fastball with a little run in on righties, a change with good sink and fade from lefties and a 2-7 slider with solid bite.

Solid middle righty reliever.
