-Lincecum comes out AFTER the rain delay, continues to pitch.
I mean, what the f***? You decide that you want to protect Lincecum from a potential rain delay, put him in anyways as a reliever AFTER it starts to rain, and then keep him in there after he's been sitting around for an hour?

He should have been fired before Lincecum had a chance to throw a pitch after the delay. Stupid decisions similar to this is why Joe Girardi was fired and why the Marlins struggled to find any healthy pitchers last season.
