A's Waste Offensive Attack as Sheets is Shelled (6-8)
by danmerqury on Apr 27, 2010 7:11 PM PDT
Email
PrintWow. Where do I start? The A's put up enough runs to win in almost any normal situation, but Ben Sheets made it clear that this wasn't a normal situation. By the time Sheets left the mound after only 4 innings, he had allowed 8 runs on the strength of two home runs, from the bats of Pat Burrell and Reid Brignac. The stout Oakland bullpen was able to limit the damage, allowing nothing more.
But my, oh my, this was a nice night for the A's offense. Both Cliff Pennington and Adam Rosales had four-hit nights. Cliff Pennington was a real grass surface away from hitting for the cycle, as his triple was ruled a ground-rule double for bouncing out of play on a large warning track hop. In the 3rd inning, Eric Patterson walked and Adam Rosales singled to lead off the inning. Pennington responded by launching a ball over the right field fence. The A's would eventually score once more in the inning, which tied up the game 4-4. Unfortunately, in his lucky second chance, Ben Sheets responded by giving up 4 more runs in the next two innings before being pulled.
The Rays didn't score off of the opposing bullpen, but the A's did, as they slowly crept up and started to narrow the Rays' lead. Daric Barton had a shot at tying the game with both of the tying runners in scoring position (courtesy of another Pennington double), but he struck out on a fastball at the knees, and the A's wouldn't touch home again.
The A's attempt to avoid the two-game sweep tomorrow at 4:10 PM as Dallas Braden faces James Shields.

I watch Sheets very closely next time
if he continues to shake off the catcher and pretend it is 2004 I seriously consider DFA’ing him, for detriment to the team. This is so many starts now where any kind of a lineup is gonna shell his ass and if he can’t make adjustments cuz his ego is just that large he can go join Matt Holliday in Hell for all I care. Any of us willfully avoid our bosses’ instructions and we are ass-out, immediately if not sooner.
The positives were many… unless Pennington’s ankle is tweaked, but he seemed like he was still breathing so I suppose that’s all right. And obviously Rosales is proving why BB ate Taveras’ deal to get him… don’t tell anyone but the second that li’l trade was done I was saying “This is who he is eyeing to replace Ellis when he splits for the big dollars” out loud.
I dunno if playing Barton with a broken finger leads anywhere but to the 60-day DL, though.
Hello, I'm Vince Cotroneo for the Marmaduke B. Mushmouth School of Public Speaking...
Do you really think Ellis will see "big dollars" when he becomes a free agent?
He’s a very good player, but I think most of us here at AN drastically overvalue him. How many players like Ellis have really cashed in on the open market? Polanco and Hudson come to mine, who are both making comprable money this year.
If you think Billy Beane is a bad GM, I hate you and find you stupid.
No, he won't get BIG money.
which is too bad because I think he’d be an integral piece to a playoff team.

EN, I really think you're over the top in regards to Sheets
Yes, it is frustrating to watch him shake off pitches, but do you really believe it’s his ego?
I think it is much more likely he is still uncomfortable on the mound and is trying to get by with what feels good as opposed to what may be the best pitch.
In his interviews Sheets seems to be very complimentary of the work of Suzuki and the rest of the catchers, so I doubt it’s about ego.
He’s clearly not thrilled with his performance of late if you watch his latest video, so I’m sure it’s more a case of comfortability than ego…

Well, I think he's an atrocious football player
And I automatically dislike players who are overrated. This is especially true with good college players who are fawned over despite having no pro potential (As a UNC fan, I grew to hate Tyler Hansbrough for this same reason).
In addition to that, people who shove their faith down the throats of others are just pathetic. I don’t trust people who are ALWAYS SMILING. I’ve never seen somebody who is so blatantly promoting how good they are as a human being, and that makes me suspicious. The people who are actually the good human beings aren’t making every possible effort to be on TV when doing something positive.

Wow
Why do you watch college basketball?
The whole point of it is to enjoy watching teams full of players who aren’t going to be great pros somehow find ways to thump athletic knuckleheads anyway.
If you just have some weird burning desire to watch players who aren’t quite as good as guys in the NBA, watch the D-League.
Arthur Dent: You know, it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young.

idk it looks bad after this start but Sheet's last two outings
were really strong and like some others mentioned, his velocity was back up a little. Look for his next few outings to be much better.

bad pitch to Burrell. bad breaks in the 2nd,
"The ego, the super-ego, and the Ed" - danmerqury
He hung a ton of curves -- including many he got away with
To my eye, he’s been more fortunate not to be hit harder previously than he was “just off today.” I can’t say that I’ve been to impressed so far; I don’t believe he can make it with two pitches anymore.
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
he's been able to make it
with two pitches his entire career. Sure he’s lost a couple miles off his stuff and we don’t know if he’ll ever get them back but his location can be fixed.
What did i tell you...didn't I say they would win? Yeah that's right I did didn't ? Wait.. what? They LOST?!?!?
I also wouldn't worry about hanging
curveballs after a year off. I would assume that is a practice and feel thing. WHen it clicks he’ll be back to normal so long as the velocity it there.
"The ego, the super-ego, and the Ed" - danmerqury
Yeah, maybe it's mostly just rust and I'm spoiled by the Dukes of the world.
I guess I also haven’t been as impressed as the radar gun has been by Sheets’ fastball. Seems “ok” to me, not “ZOMG he’s back to throwing 94MPH!” good. Feels more like 91MPH with so-so movement than a “power pitcher blow him away!” fastball.

Sheets might have been an ace in the NL years ago before injury
but now in the better league after his injury, he is performing like a #4 and that’s being kind.
Let’s hope he pitches like a few of his other starts but the alarming thing is the # of extra base hits which is awful.
Considering a switch in leagues should give him leverage
I disagree he can’t make it with 2 pitches.
He’s made it clear he’s been unhappy with the movement on his pitches, (specifically the curve) therefore I believe he needs another 3 or 4 starts before we start to say he’s been figured out by the league

after working the Senate race and the job that was promised to me disappeared. Which is how I was turning out 40k words in fANposts on AN last year. Try paying almost all of your own way through college taking time off to manage campaigns then graduating having a job on a top US Senate campaign and being promised a job in DC and then having it all Chinua Achebe (things fall apart for the non Iglews) on you so youre living with your mom broke and sending resumes into the great abyss. Scarry fucking shit indeed. My advice find something that looks awesome on a resume to do this summer.

It was just one guy after you, then the show was over.
I know Townsend wasn’t really with sabermetrics at all when he was talking to you, but when the next guy called, Townsend stood up for stats quite a bit.
And then, Chris said something like “No, no, statistics definitely have their place. But you know what they don’t account for?” Really hoping he wasn’t going to say something Kruk-ian like “grit” or “heart”, but he said “instincts”, which is better, at least.

I can understand that though
he said he didn’t have time to follow the blogs, actually, and he’s said that before. the guy is taping programs daily, and that also involves setting up and doing interviews, researching items, and following what others in the business are doing. He works out of his home but also has to travel to remote spots. I really don’t blame him for not getting involved in the blogs – we know how much time that can take.
Involved isn't what I was expecting
but when you say A’s fans overwhelmingly want to sign Dye you might want to look at the number 1 A’s site on the internet to determine if that has any validity.

Found a highlight on MLB.com.
Horrible defense, as you’d expect. Lopez hit a really soft grounder that took a large hop and deflected off of the pitcher’s glove, up and over to the gap between 1st and 2nd. Albert Callaspo, 2B, saw the grounder and ran to cover 2nd before realizing the pitcher didn’t have it. Dribble dribble dribble into the outfield. By the time Callaspo ran it down in shallow RF, it was way too late.

Sac up 12-1 on Brett W.'s team
taylor has two hits, carter has three walks and cust…seems to be back (2-3, 4 rbi)
What did i tell you...didn't I say they would win? Yeah that's right I did didn't ? Wait.. what? They LOST?!?!?
I'm not good at losing. I feel very sad.
I like Pennington & Rosales. They make me happy. Did Barton’s finger hurt? Was the called strike three over the plate? The ground-rule double sucked. Sheets WPA was -.555 or something. That’s more bad than it takes to lose an entire game. By himself.
Tomorrow, I should like to be happy again. I’ll be working during the game and unable to listen. Please tell Dallas to throw strikes. The unhittable kind. I think he’s very good at that. Please let Barton’s finger feel good, and that his day today was just an off-day (gods know he has earned one). Please tell both Pennington and Rosales that they are truly men among boys, and that any time they wish to combine for 8 hits, they have my permission.
I also enjoyed my day with so many of you at AN. You are loverly people, even when you are not. But mostly you are, which is very nice.

you know, many people have labeled the Angels the favorite until further notice and they probably are, but they have some serious questions within their rotation. Saunders, Santana, and Kazmir all had medicore to bad seasons last year and haven’t done anything much better so far this season. Pinero isn’t exactly striking fear in any one’s heart either. they better hope they can replicate the amazing offensive year they had last year in order to win this season.

go ahead run was up in the 6th
and 8th. The batter was the A’s best hitter. Four shutout innings to finish the game. I am counting that as not bad.

You hit the nail on the head there
Can’t wait to see him come up but like most, don’t want to see him until he is ready.
Michael Taylor has 4 triples. I guess they are right about the speed he has for a big guy.
The future is very promising. Just keep them away from the injury bug.

I almost posted my own FanPost...
cuz there were already 656 comments when I logged on…
but, I know you don’t want to hear it, anyway.
1. Ben Sheets… the biggest disappointment of the season.
2. Tampa Bay Rays… AL Champions.
I think I predicted both of those. Anybody else do the same?
"I’m actually a disgrace to myself right now." - Sean Gallagher (quoting me after a night out on the town)
I'm not quite ready to write Ben Sheets off yet.
Curveball command is the last thing that comes back after time off. His fastballs were fine, it was all of the hanging curveballs he was leaving up there. Hopefully he’ll get it together sooner, rather than later (and god forbid after this season).

The Rays?
Heh, I actually figured they’d be in 3rd. Not because they suck, but because the Yankees and Red Sox only got better over the offseason. Not quite sure what’s going on with Boston right now. They’ve got too much talent to suck like this.

I don't know, the Yankees added Nick Johnson, Curtis Granderson, and Javier Vazquez.
That’s a really scary addition to the reigning world champions. And the Red Sox completely retooled their defense with Cameron, Lackey, Beltre, and Scutaro. I don’t know if they really got old like this, or if they’re just starting slow. We’ll see.

But if he doesn't start laying off a few pitches
everyone will start throwing him junk and his numbers will drop fast.
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
Cameron, Lackey, Belre and even my ol' fav... Scoot
they’re all old. Johnson is a retread for the Yanks. I think Vazquez is, too (I may be wrong on that). Granderson is better than Damon this year?
The Rays are young and hung this year. Look out for them. We won’t win tomorrow, either. 12-10 ain’t so bad in the AL West.

Ummm... okay, my scroogie guy is pitching on Wednesday...

It's cool
I just taught myself to plot a linear regression on Excel which I’m sure a lot of people here at AN could do in their sleep but for me is a major accomplishment. I might celebrate by not doing the rest of the assignment and instead watching AD and eating a chimichanga.
On an aside, I might have to start going by my AN handle in real life. It’s pretty catchy but could become obsolete if the A’s start dropping like flies. I’ve been waiting for 3 years for my handle to become relevant again…
