Yes, 148 pitches is concerning. Seems that Matt Cain has never been the same since pitching his perfect game last year.

I'm less concerned about Timmy, partly because he needed to show that he could still pitch at an elite level, and partly because he is not signed past this season. Lincecum had the chance to sign a long-term deal with the Giants, but turned it down, opting for only two years.

It’s the same with Yu Darvish this year, he has not been nearly as effective a pitcher since his 130 pitch game.
