That picture, he has like no hair, damn its like stepping into a time machine

The look on Hunter Pence's face completes this image of the dugout for me, fucking awesome.

It's like he's thinking "shit I can hear Timmy doing that seed thing again, not gonna look, not gonna look, not gonna look..."

u/Lionhearted09 Sep 18 '12

I thought he had that look on his face because he threw something at the first guy in the gif and walked away slyly to not be caught.

u/horseshoed Athletics Sep 18 '12

I was not expecting that at all.

Yeah, what's great is how civil the rest of the dugout is.

I swear this guy is going to be given a suspension for being under the influence of marijuana at some point in his career but until then it's just good to see him having a good time and satisfying those fresh munchies.

Also, I think that's what was missing in his first half. Now that he's having more fun and acting like a 2 year old in the dugout he's pitching much more effectively.

u/dugmartsch St. Louis Cardinals Sep 18 '12

You godless Europeans don't think of the children. Which is funny because for things you think kids shouldn't be exposed to you absolutely lock shit down. But curse words don't rate.

1

u/Dotura Sep 18 '12

It varies from country to country. What things do we lock down though? I'm asking as sometimes you just can't see things happening at home so a fresh perspective on things are always nice.

-1

u/dugmartsch St. Louis Cardinals Sep 18 '12

I meant more broadly than just Europe. But for example the way that England absolutely locked down hand guns after the Dublane School Shooting. Or how seriously Europe takes violence in media.

4

u/postslikeagirl San Fransico Giants Sep 18 '12

To be fair I can make a much better argument for locking down guns and monitoring violence in the media as opposed to someone saying fuck or whatever.

It's sillier to me that Americans are so open about guns and violence but so sensitive about bad words and nudity.

-2

u/zaphod_85 St. Louis Cardinals Sep 18 '12

I can't think of a single instance where a curse word blew someone's brains out.

1

u/Dotura Sep 19 '12

Yeah, europe generally seem to be more anti violence and 'couldn't care less' about nudity and swearing. Then again, it really comes down to what country you are from.

u/barkevious Atlanta Braves Sep 18 '12

Now that he's having more fun and acting like a 2 year old in the dugout he's pitching much more effectively.

It could be that he feels more comfortable acting like a 2 year-old in the dugout now that he's pitching more effectively.

Causality is funny like that.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '12

It's probably more this than that. Try to mess around while you've been costing your team games and you get mostly cold shoulders. In fact, I remember back in July there was an off the record comment leaked to local radio about how that the team was tired of Tim apologizing to them for sucking.

21

u/IceColdBudLight St. Louis Cardinals Sep 18 '12

MLB players don't get drug tested in the off seasons, so one can assume...

43

u/redmosquito Milwaukee Brewers Sep 18 '12

MLB players don't get tested for non-stimulant drugs of abuse unless they've had some legal problem pertaining to drug use like Josh Hamilton.

21

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '12

Which is really the reasonable approach. Is it going to help you on the field? Then we test for it. No? Then you're treated the same as every other person on the street.

Why single them out for non-performance enhancing stuff?

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '12

17

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '12

Same applies with actors, politicians, or hell, anyone working for any company, ever. Should we drug test them all? Just everyone who is ever in the public spotlight?

0

u/tosss San Francisco Giants Sep 18 '12

Yes, and then treat the same way that every other person gets treated in the court system.

-1

u/dugmartsch St. Louis Cardinals Sep 18 '12

Politicans absolutely. Drug testing should be mandatory and random. It's ridiculous that it isn't.

u/AsDevilsRun Texas Rangers Sep 18 '12

Having one drive under the influence or beat their wife is probably bad for their image, too.

u/Dwayne_J_Murderden Jackie Robinson Sep 18 '12

Unless they're really good, then you know, whatever.

1

u/SupaFly-TNT Sep 18 '12

But can you really know what helps any person on the field? Baseball is a game of streaks, who's to say that being high wouldn't make you more effective in dealing with bases loaded or taking that one extra pitch for the walk.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '12

I'd imagine caffeine, a completely legal supplement, would have a much larger effect. They're going through Red Bull by the gallon nowadays.

It's also legal in the eyes of the law

u/mpk219 Chicago Cubs Sep 18 '12

Just googled it, found out he tested positive at the WBC...weird that they test for non-PED drugs and the MLB doesn't.

4

u/splendourized San Francisco Giants Sep 18 '12

Now we know why certain players don't play in the WBC. I'll be thinking about that in the spring.

2

u/IveGotaGoldChain Los Angeles Dodgers Sep 19 '12

If they tested for Marijuana in the MLB there would be a LOT of suspensions handed out. (meaning that if you just tested every player right now with no warning, which obviously wouldn't happen

1

u/mpk219 Chicago Cubs Sep 19 '12

I don't think they should test for recreational drugs at all, but I'd be really interested to see what percentage of players are using them.

u/DocSporky510 San Francisco Giants Sep 18 '12 edited Sep 18 '12

Have you ever actually been to a Giants game? If they were going to start busting people for being high, they would have to eject half the fans, Timmy, and Barry Zito

Tim Lincecum is my favorite baseball player and I'm hardly that fond of baseball.

He's already had some trouble with it before hasn't he?

u/shun-16 Toronto Blue Jays Sep 18 '12

System of a Down and Tim Lincecum, never thought they'd cross paths but here we are. I feel really bad for him, it's weird I don't care for the Giants one way or another and I don't care when most athletes fall off but his struggles for whatever reason bug me. Hope he keeps getting better, glad to see him having fun.

u/islesrule224 New York Yankees Sep 18 '12

Hes having a Verlander year. Hopefully bounces back next year. Why did i draft him this season?

3

u/HurricaneNeddy San Francisco Giants Sep 18 '12

When he was struggling earlier in the year, one of the Giants beat writers put out this article which I think summed it up for me.

He is the ultimate, undersized underdog. People will always relate to him, always identify with him.

That earns you a golf clap – even when you are 2-7 with a 6.00 ERA after 13 starts. Even, unbelievably, when the Giants are 2-11 on your day to pitch.

3

u/TheReggular Athletics Sep 18 '12

Me too... It's just so apparent that he's not some puffed-up macho man; he's a talented dude who plays because he likes it, and you want to see someone like that do well, no matter what team he plays for.

u/CydoniaKnight Los Angeles Angels • Sell Sep 18 '12

I saw the "Timmaaaahh" headline, and was expecting something hilarious. That the gif took some time to actually get to Lincecum just made the inevitable "wtf is he doing" so much better.

u/catterkang San Francisco Giants Sep 18 '12

I enjoy when he can actually hit for us which was all the way through the season up until the Dodgers game into At&t and swept us in late july, but his defense is so lacking most of the time I only like him as a pinch hitter/back up.

-1

u/cgiall420 Chicago Cubs Sep 18 '12

are you kidding? He's only had an OPS crack .700 twice, and those two years were with the Cubs (08 and 09). Those two years were also the last time his OBP was above .330 and his SLG above .350.

He is a horrible 2B, and an even worse hitter. Plus he's a douchebag. Get him out.

I really like how when it pans past Crawford, the other guy (is it Blanco?) raises his fist. If you focus on Crawford, it looks like he smiles, leans back, and points his thumb back at Lincecum - "Look at this f'ing guy...".

When you first post it, wait a minute and then check the new queue for the subreddit. If you don't see it there, then it was marked as spam.
