@@eggs6665 What do you mean what for ? Do you mean, why not ? Well for one, his productivity was very short and his career era is close to 4. Plus is is barely over a hundred wins in his career. You can't making excuses to allow people in.
Even if Tim doesn't have the accolades for a Hall of Famer, I believe he should always be in the conversation as a Top 5 pitcher of all time. He truly was one of the most perfect pitchers in terms of technique, and control. His size is really what propelled his perfection. Had his arms been any longer, and he had low 100's velocity he would have been the best.
In the bay area, the topic of Timmy's declining velocity was constant on sports radio, and it began I think in 2010. I was at his first game, where he threw 2 pitches that hit 100mph. By 2010, his fastball was down to averaging in the low 90s, and by 2012, his fastball topped out at 90 on the nose. But man those Cy Young years he was amazing to watch.
What always jumped out a me is he didn't have a pitchers ass. Look at a guy like Yamamoto with the Dodgers, who's about the same and throws heat, but he's stacked downstairs. Like most pitchers. I think it was pure torque. Love watching him pitch. And he always seemed like a really cool, down to earth dude. Probably why he could just ''disappear' and live his life. Didn't need the bright lights.
There has also been a lot of tragedy in his life. His brother, Sean, died "after personal struggles" unexpectedly in 2018 at age 37. And his wife, Cristin died of cancer in June 2022 at age 38.With 2 Cy Youngs, 2 no-no's and a hand full of WS-rings, has he ever been in consideration to be in the Hall of Fame?
@@jjerg Billy Wagner also didn’t have a crazy no back leg all momentum based windup. That’s why lincecum has degenerative hip disease. Because he used no back leg and all momentum so slamming constantly into his fromt leg caused A LOT of issues due to the irregular amount of force his hip was taking compared to most pitchers.
He should be in the hall of fame
I agree
Absolutely NOT

Great music choices too!
The next pick in the 2006 draft was Max Scherzer
I miss you Tim Lincecum
He was also so damn durable (his arm)
Big Time Timmy Jim!
Billy Wagner was 5'10 180lbs. Played 16 years. Just 10 lbs bigger.
He also was a relief pitcher.

How do I have more subs then you? You deserve way more than you have.
Pedro was small. I think it was his delivery should been moved to bullpen
He just got over pitched
