Tim Linceum's Fluctuating Strikeout-To-Hit Ratio

About a month ago I posted Tim Linceum's Falling Strikeout-To-Hit Ratio.

Here are his ratios each month this year starting with April

43/22 = 1.95
40/33 = 1.21
34/33 = 1.03
35/42 = .833
27/33 = .818
52/31 = 1.68

In 2009 it was

261/168 = 1.55

In 2008 it was

265/182 = 1.46

For all of this year it is 1.19 = 231/194

Th NL average in 2010 is .833

I don't know how important this ratio is. Alot of young flame throwers see their strikeouts fall as they get older. But Lincecum turned things around in Sept., just in time for the Giants. I don't know how he did it, though.
