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.

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?

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.

@@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.
