Lincecum being caught by anyone-but-Posey is creating some complications.
Here's a lineup for you:
Tonight's #SFGiants lineup: Aoki lf Panik 2b Pagan cf Posey 1b Maxwell rf Susac c McGehee 3b Crawford ss Lincecum p

This is the same kind of suspenders lineup that Bruce Bochy used on Saturday. I call it a suspenders lineup because apparently you don't need a Belt with it. Hahahahahahahaaaaaa. Ha ha ha. Ha. Anyway, this is annoying.
Apparently, there are two threats to Brandon Belt's spot in the lineup these days:
- Left-handed pitchers
- The unofficial policy that puts anybody but Buster Posey behind the plate when Tim Lincecum is pitching
Remember when there were all sorts of conspiracy theories about why Posey didn't catch Lincecum?
