As a dodger fan it absolutely breaks my heart to see what happened to him. He is a shadow of his former self. I wish him nothing but the best for the future.
@@bamx2650 yeah ist shows there is a bit of a random element to no hitters, pitcher has to have a good day, defense needs to be rock solid, stars must align...
He was so ridiculously talented. His last great season was 2011 and still threw two no-hitters afterwards. I hope he comes back to Oracle one day just to wave to the crowd, he would get a five-minute standing ovation!
mcleanse The Whole city would give him a standing O. The dude was loved in SF like no one else. He needs to come back one day and retire a giant. I’d pay anything to get into that game, just for Timmy.
@@TemakiTom . Posey always got a few a stints per season , starting even with his Rookie campaign, at first base. Principally to extend his career (saving the knees and all) and ended up playing 17% of his games at 1st.* Sometimes a pitcher preferred working with the second catcher and Posey, too valuable in the lineup, got first base rather than sit the game out. Not sure which of the two conditions applied here. There was some speculation that Lincecum perhaps didn't want Posey catching for him anymore, but there is no evidence to that effect that I am aware of so more likely it was just a scheduled day for Posey. He did end up with 4 hits and 2 RBI in that game, so... not bad eh? I understand that these are the situations where the DH comes in handy, but, NL, you know. He did DH 31 times in the regular season in his career when that was an option. *in his final season (2021) they just sat him when he didn't catch, as it's his only full season without a single stint on first.
Damn, a second inning walk, otherwise, perfect. Only the second pitcher to no hit the same team twice and the first to do it in consecutive years. A relatively short but brilliant career. Multiple All Star games, multiple Cy Young awards, multiple World Series titles and multiple no-hitters. Only one other did that. Sandy Koufax.
The early 2010s were a dream for us, Cainers Perfecto, Timmy’s two No-No’s, and of course three in five, but what I remember the most is Conor Gillaspie’s homer to go ahead in the playoffs for whatever reason 🤣🤣
Masterpiece! I’m not a Giants fan, but I’m a fan of the game. I’ve always liked Tim Lincecum b/c he is the same size as me, and he is a 3x WS Champion w/ SF Giants (2010, 2012, 2014) & he won back to back NL Cy Young Awards (2008 & 2009). Plus two “no hitters” by the time he was 30 years old! That’s sick in anyone’s book.
0:59-1:06 for those wondering "What are they *TALKING* about?" they were having an interview with a teacher who won an award (All-star Teacher) before the game.
Funny how he had such a great peak in his first few years but never pitched a no hitter. And then when he was already on his decline he throws two no nos back to back seasons
But you have to consider out of 27 outs (28 batters faced due to the walk) only 6 batters were struck out, and of those 6 strikeouts the catcher had to throw out at least 2 (that I counted). Yes the plays were routine but even if they misplayed one and it dropped in they ruin it for him so you have to at least give them some credit for helping him out.
Do you know how hard it is to become a real MLB pitcher at 5’10 170 pds ? When I was practicing at Kent state as a pitcher, even being 6’0 182 pds they limited my potential as a lefty thrower. They said, on a real mound at the professional level you will be standing up higher and need to kick your leg up over even lower on the drop. If you were 6’1 or 6’2 you could have went pro. You have to have insane mechanics, lower mass upper body to keep the strength in the wrist and elbows and strong lower body to push the momentum of force forward from the kick. He’s considered one in 15M people. Look at the difference between him and Bumgarner. Completely different people with different advantages
Padres got dissed really hard by the Giants. Only Team in the MLB to not get a No-Hitter and now they got no-hit twice by the Giants and Tim Lincecum in 2 years.Don't know if that happend to the Padres ever
Catching is really demanding on the knees throughout the season, so they want to give him a break there. However, the Giants also don't want to lose his bat in the lineup, so they sometimes play him at first.
I guess Tim Lincecum is San Diego's padre
Aha!
Was
@@rebeccaellsbury73 That solidifies his position as the padres dad.
Nice stolen joke
Nah. /

3 years later but I agree. Timmy made me love baseball. Crazy how he threw two no hitters after his decline though🤣

He did! 😁😁
Buster Posey: I've caught a no hitter, caught a perfect game... I wanna be the first baseman for this one.
Yeah, what the heck was up with that?? I'm an AL guy so please forgive my Giants ignorance, but why wasn't Posey behind the plate?

world's coolest pitcher.
"They are on their feet for the little guy they adore"
LOL
If it wasn't for that one walk, it would be a perfect game
A no-hitter is when you don't allow any hits, but you allow at least one base runner. A perfect game is when you allow no hits and no base runners.
No problem
+Roler95 Thats what he is saying.If he wouldn't have walked him,he would have had a perfect game
Cj Rice I think he edited his comment. Originally someone was asking what the difference was.

His second time in two years, his mustache makes it look like 20 years
I was there that day. I wish I could see him throw another one as a Giant.
Well he's on the Angels now so good luck with that one.
Yea but now snot rocket is throwing no hitters as of 7/11/16 and breaking world records
+Camcamthomas you jinxed it
Same
hes pitched 2 no hitters and i cant even pitch one in a video game.
Lincecum Had Help From His Fielders Especially Pence
@@cheekypasta55 Sheesh dude. Are you okay?
A Baller how about Scherzer tho
It’s funny cause I’ve pitched 2 in the show

My brother got the last foul ball of the game and he was talking about it for a few days
Awesome!
As he should
Thank his fielders?? All those outs were routine. Come on man. Now matt Cain should buy blanco a house for saving his perfect game.
He should buy him a house, an endless chocolate machine and sixty seven hookers

Zachary .Watts it would still be a no hitter, cause if they misplayed those, it would be an error since they're routine. Making it still a no hitter.
I was there the crowd was so great it sounded like the Giants just won the NL pennant. What a sight to witness.
Damn. One walk away from a perfect game.
Timmy needs to come back, sign a one day contract and retire a giant. Maybe put him in for one inning. I would pay anything to go to that game.
good job lincecum !!!!
BIG SF GIANTS FAN
Una bestia de lanzador era Tim.
God I love watching Panda throw across the diamond
when u realize posey was playing 1st base
Dakoda Fisher did not know that
@@isaacnewton8914 when you realize he's playing like his 2012 self again
Hector called a good game.
He did? I always thought he was a catcher all his career. Learn something new every day.🤔😎
@@ChibiProwl Because Hector Sanchez was Timmy's personal catcher.
i miss timmy with the Giants
Miss this dude
at one point, one of the most dominating pitchers ever

Just imagine if the ump had given that 4th ball as a 3rd strike. The Giants would have had two perfect games in three seasons.
Shave. That. Stash.
And they had no idea that 4 months later they would be celebrating winning the world series.
his delivery was so cool .
Who’s here after SnellZilla threw a no-hitter of his own today? 😎🔥
The best baseball game I've ever been too
Roy Oswalt(at Astros), Tim Lincecum...
They look like David who fighting up against MLB's Goliaths. I want to see them again...
Ownage is ownage. I enjoy hearing the crowd get louder and louder as each inning ended and hearing Duane's excitement grow with each out.
I miss Timmy so much
Thought he was heading into the hall of fame after the 2 consecutive cy young winning seasons...then his career just went downhill season by season.
The other no-no was against the Padres too right?
Ya
Yep, the commentators said that it was is second no-hitter against the padres in two years
The smile on Busters face
Big time Timmie Jim!!! Absolute legend.
He throwed 1 in San Diego and 1 in San Francisco and both were against the Padres.
lol I like that both of his no hitters are against the padres
The oddity of his no-hitters is that they both came after his run of dominance
Man he hung a ton of curveballs that day.
6 years already...!
Dude I am so mad the Mariners drafted Brandon morrow instead of him. He’s from bellevue, went to university of washington... WHY NOT 😭
The Niners passed on tom Brady, Aaron Rogers and Jared Goff . We have no qb
man i miss him
A second one and both vs. the padres and on his home stand and another one away.
Hope him can get back to MLB
I miss the old days.
Padres got dissed really hard by the Giants. Only Team in the MLB to not get a No-Hitter and now they got no-hit twice by the Giants and Tim Lincecum in 2 years.Don't know if that happend to the Padres ever
Congrats on your second no no, Timmy!
Both No-No's vs the Padres. He is just good against San Diego.
Multiple cy youngs, all stars, pennants, rings and no hitters. Only Sandy Koufax and Tim Lincecum have done it. A 3rd no hitter makes Timmy's a HOF'er
Tim lincecum 😀💖
Yes
This was probably the easiest no-hitter I've ever seen, no need for a crazy catch.
Sick Yo!!! Even tho I’m a SAn Diego Padres ⚾️ fan #55 👍🏽🤙🏽
Wish Tim and Randy Johnson still played
2 no hitters against the Padres
Number three in 2015? :)
Kari2025 lets wait for the next padres giants series hehe
Siii
Kari2025 hell nah
Kari2025 you predicted it! nicely done
How about out of the league?
He looks like a skinny Ron Jeremy. Thank God he lost the mustache.
Both his no hitters were against the Padres that's coincidental
Carrot T0p Gaming Jonathan Sanchez was too lol
Scouting reports are good
Those 25 dislikes are Padres fans!
Padres and Giants fan here! Big fan of Lincecum! So i liked!
Lone Snake Trak and me dodgers fan
I disliked because that mustache deserves a dislike
All of them
thats why there are only 25 dislikes
Its the SD again for 1st and 2nd no hitter
No hug from Posey this time after the last out since Buster was too busy catching the last out at first base xD
I loved watching baseball when the giants where doing really good
Great job kid nice
Perfect game
he walked a guy in the second
Grande tim❤
It should be the battery and not just the pitcher but anyways congrats to him though ✌️
The funny thing is that he did it again vs the Padres ain't that some crazy and stuff there lol ..
WHEN hexwas on he was.as good as they come. Even in his deckine he was better than 80 percent of the rest of the pitchers.
Los tenía domados a los Padres, Lincecum es su papá 🤣🤣, en ese tiempo no había mucha potencia en ese equipo
HOF? 🤔🤨🤔
His downturn in 2014 on was really bad.
Such a short but very successful prime.
#SFGiants
Both of them against the Padres!?
Posey is part time first baseman?
The padres are used to be being no-hit
And they're also used to not pitching no-hitters (IOW, they're the only team who has never had a pitcher throw a no-hitter).
So epic ❤️
Padres be like "we can beat sf just fine" tim lincecum "are you sure about that" padres "aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh"
Buster at first wow
Best Phiipino pitcher ever?
when was this?
Was buster poesy playing first?
Oh thanks I'm mostly a Texas fan
But there doing horrible good luck to.giants
Yes
Looks like he struck out 18 people
Why was Posey on first? I'm not a Giants fan but I know he's normally a catcher
Posey is put at 1st base whenever he needs rest to keep him healthy and prolong his catching career before having to be moved to 1st permanently.
TheRobotinvader Thanks!
No he was at first because he didn't like catching for him that's we he never catches for Timmy
+Airhead Airsoft Both answers are right.
+Casey Charles it's like with Kershaw he goes with aj Ellis instead of grandal
as soon as I got mlb the show 17 the first game I played was a no no
awesome
Was Buster Posey playing first base?
to help take load off knee's, catchers will swap 1b and home a lot
it would have been so funny if posey got off the bag early
?
Kevin Martinez Would've been an error on Posey, so still could have the no-hitter
go giantes
Timmy owns the padres
Are the Padres really that shit?
+Elijah Brand Yes
Yes, and I'm a fan. He has 2 more no hitters against them than the entire Padres team has in history.
why was posey playing first base?
He's a utility player. It's just his main position is catcher
Catching is really demanding on the knees throughout the season, so they want to give him a break there. However, the Giants also don't want to lose his bat in the lineup, so they sometimes play him at first.
Most catchers play a bit of first base to give them a break from catching.
Posey rarely catches when Lincecum is on the mound
It went downhill for him after this...
Second career no-hitter
Second career no-hitter vs the padres.
They just shouldn't count if against them
Lol his first no hitter was against the Padres.
I really wish he had enough for HoF
why was posey playing first?
so they can keep his bat in the lineup and not ruin his knees
oh thanks for the explaination
He plays first when Lincecum pitches.
cool didnt know that
Dartanion78 Why Is It When Buster Posey Plays First Base When Lincecum Pitches When Other Pitchers Pitch Posey Plays Catcher
