Hopefully, this puts the issue of Timmy's personal catcher and the whole notion of a Lincecum-Posey feud to bed. Right now, the Giants have more of an issue getting Matt Cain back on track tonight in a pivotal early-season series with the D-Backs. Then they can focus on chasing the high-flying Rockies, who are due to come back to earth.
If the guy can pitch, he can pitch. To ANYBODY!! If that changes his focus / mind-set so much that he can't pitch, then bottom line, HE CAN'T PITCH!! Period. This is the big leagues, it's not Little League baseball anymore.

NEXT PITCH: Lincecum-Posey pairing might reappear
Maybe the Tim Lincecum-Buster Posey combination isn't so bad, after all.
Lincecum usually throws to catcher Hector Sanchez because manager Bruce Bochy wants Posey resting his legs, either by playing first base or sitting on the bench.
Lincecum had a 5.62 ERA in three starts with Sanchez catching to begin the season. When Posey crouched behind the plate Saturday, Lincecum threw 6 2/3 shutout innings in a 2-0 win over San Diego.
...
Neither Lincecum nor Posey made a big deal about Lincecum's best start of 2013 coming with Posey behind the plate.
"Obviously, people are going to lean on that because it was the first time," Lincecum said. "But for me, it's always a matter of whoever's out there, I have to throw to him and go out there with my plan."
