.Tim Lincecum is heading to the bullpen and the Giants have just 32 games left to find their winning ways.
It is a stretch run episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Delmon Young, Clay Buchholz, A. J. Burnett, Giancarlo Stanton, Edwin Encarnacion, Francisco Liriano, Andrew McCutchen and Scott Feldman all added to their totals for Who Owns Baseball?

On the surface so many things seemed right with the Red Sox game. Clay Buchholz was terrific. The Red Sox got some timely hits and good base running. They got a pair of Brock Holt stolen bases and a clutch 2 out 10th inning Yoenis Cespedes single and they held on to win.
The losing streak is over.
Yippee!
And yet it felt kind of shitty. It is Koji Uehara. He is turning back into a pumpkin and we all know it. Red Sox fans got a magic ride with Koji in 2013 and he will always be a fan favorite and close to our hearts.
He is going to be a free agent at the end of the year and it might be time to say goodbye. He will be 40 next year. Pitchers tend not to get great again when they hit the big 4-0.
I will take the win. I wish it felt better.
Time to update the Dodged Bullet/Teeth Grinder tally.
