13 years ago today, Tim Lincecum threw 148 PITCHES en route to his first of two career no-hitters against the Padres.
Just unreal stuff from The Freak.
Tim Lincecum won back-to-back Cy Young Awards, threw 2 no-hitters and won 3 World Series trophies 🤯
He became known as “The Freak”
But his story started in Washington, where he won Washington State Player of the Year after striking out 183 batters in just 91 and two-thirds innings in his senior year of high school
In his final season at the University of Washington, Lincecum had a 1.94 ERA, striking out 199 batters in 125 innings 😳
**No, overall homelessness in California has not dropped since Gavin Newsom took office in 2019.**
HUD Point-in-Time counts show it rose from ~151,000 in 2019 to ~187,000 in 2024. The 9% drop cited (in unsheltered homelessness from 2024 to 2025) is a recent year-over-year improvement from a higher peak, but numbers remain above 2019 levels. California still has the largest homeless population in the U.S.
I’m sitting here crying over a driver I actively rooted against for nearly 20 years. I don’t mean to be crass, but this is such bullshit. His kids were robbed of their dad. His wife was robbed of her husband. Kurt was robbed of his brother. His parents were robbed of their son.
Clayton Kershaw vs. Madison Bumgarner is the perfect would-you-rather scenario: Would you rather be a Hall of Fame pitcher in the regular season or would your rather be one of the greatest postseason pitchers of all-time?
