The Streak™ is the product of many impressive contributions from the National League's best pitching staff. As always, a conversation about Giants pitching starts with The Freak. Not surprisingly, Lincecum lived up to his billing as the "Ace." During the 26.2 inning stretch, Tim collected 32 strikeouts while giving up 3 walks. Opponents hit .202 and slugged .303. Not bad, huh? Remember that Tim had just suffered through a frightening August, so this stretch was especially significant to the team's immediate future. The other noteworthy aspect of these starts seems to be the regular appearance of Tim's newest weapon: a slider. He may have thrown it earlier, but this was when the radio boys began talking it up.
