Lincecum on a Roll

I'm really hoping the Giants have a legitimate All-Star this year, and aren't one of those teams that just needs a representative. It's only April 19, but Tim Lincecum is pitching for a trip to Yankee Stadium in July. He threw seven more scoreless innings in today's 3-0 win over the Cardinals. Timmy is now 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA, with 27 strikeouts in 23 innings. By comparison, our other four starters are 1-9 with a 5.26 ERA (Kevin Correia has the win). This is the reason I'm skeptical about a six-man rotation. Lincecum gives the team the best chance to win, so I think he needs to pitch as much as possible. Between Triple-A and the majors last year, he threw 177 innings, so he can handle the workload. I'm also pleased to say that I'll be in attendance for Lincecum's next scheduled start in San Diego on Thursday, so hopefully I won't be embarrassed in my Giants gear.
