Sheets

[baseballnewb]

I know a lot of people are down on Sheets this year but I'm telling you right now, its time to buy low on him. He had his curve going starting in the 5th inning tonight and he was making the marlins look foolish from that point on, they didn't come close to hitting a ball hard all night. The only really hard hit on him for the day was the HR by Delgado and that was before the curve was working, he just sat on the fast ball and drove it out.

He's probably reaching 100% after his ear thing, he's a stud!

Yeah. duh.

Yeah, I blame the curveball thing on Chad Moeller. Before the 5th inning started, Sheets actually had to convince Moeller to start calling for the curve more often, and of course from then on he looked dominant. That spike curve he has is just brutal.

very nice to see him have a good outing like this. I'm looking forward to a big second half from him

His injury was the type that can effect you for a while and therefore he needed some time to get his bearings back while on the mound. He will be fine from now on in.

[Chuckles]

Dominant performance, and I too can't wait for the rest of the year!!!

He's been solid the last month, he should have a great 2nd half.

I watched the game yesterday and agree. His fastball was smoking the entire game, but the curve was a dud until the 4th or 5th. After that, it looked like the nasty curve he had last year. Predictably, once he added the curve, the Ks went up (10 last night) and the WHIP went down. It looked like he also threw a few changes.

I hope this is the start of a trend. I just traded for Sheets and need a BIG second half.

One thing I did notice was the number of longballs he's been giving up. They have hurt him in a couple of outings and he really needs to keep the ball in the park if he wants to get back to 04 form. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
