| Inning | Batter | Velocity | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | T. Redding | 86 | Swinging strike, K |
| 5 | K. Casto | 84 | Infield hit, single |
| 6 | C. Guzman | 82 | Groundout |
| 7 | K. Casto | 82 | Ball |
Before I address the slider, can we just crown Lincecum king of the universe and be done with it? He's good. He's also the first Giants in 15 years to start off a season with an 8-1 record.
All seriousness aside, yesterday's data probably is not accurate since Gameday blanked on types of pitches in the 5th and 6th innings.
The information that actually showed up supports the same points I've noticed in previous posts. Sample sizes have tailed off in Lincecum's past starts since he has not thrown nearly as many sliders per game as he did against the Cardinals. I can say that no batter has teed off on the slider yet, though Casto managed an infield single.

Dirty Sanchez tonight at 4. 15 hits for the Giants again?
