The Wall Street Journal’s Tony Olivero calls Tim Lincecum “the worst pitcher in baseball history.” He points out that “if the season ended today, Lincecum — a two-time Cy Young Award winner — would have the worst adjusted ERA, 55, of any pitcher who has thrown at least 95 innings in a season since at least 1901.” Bill Stoneman of the 1973 Montreal Expos, Carl Lundgren of the 1908 Chicago Cubs, and Rube Bressler of 1915 Philadelphia Athletics all finished their respective seasons with record-low adjusted ERAs of 56.

At Thursday's workout, San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Santiago Casilla was good to go as the closer for the second half. The right-hander had ended the first half with a blister issue. Sure enough, once a save situation evolved Friday, Casilla was summoned from the bullpen and closed out the Giants' 5-1 win over the Houston Astros. However, Casilla didn...
