I've been reading through the Capital Avenue Club blog, and commenting, because that space is obviously similar to this and statistically-centric. Anyway, boy are they sore. Maybe "the call" has battered their brains, but the overall sentiment is that Lincecum was "not outstanding" and "wild as f&$@." The Braves hitters handed Lincecum his 97 game score, 14 strikeout, 28% swing and miss percentage. I've seen the Freak do it too many times, to too many batters, to too many teams, to do anything other than giggle.

I think I read somewhere, either on Fangraphs or Hardball Times that they had done an in-depth statistical study that showed Braves fans, were and are, by nature, whiners. Science. Timmeh was filthy last night, although he looked a little shaky to start the game and got some help from Heyward swinging at a bad pitch that didn't advance the runner. Other than that, he was nasty and I think--put on my straw hat--looked better than Halladay did the night before.
