Sheets: pitcher of month Â? Braun: rookie of month

NL Pitching Stats for June

 

A lot of really nice performances in the National League in June form a pitching perspective. I think Sheets has a good shot based on his 5 - 0 record (wins tend to be a sexier stat than others). I think it will come down to Penny or Sheets - even though Zambrano had comparable stats, I think the win/loss record will override any of the other numbers.

I think Sheets would be #3 in that vote just because of the performances of Penny and Peavy. Same goes for the All-Star game; Sheets will be either the 3rd man out of the pen or the guy held back in case of extra innings.

According to JSOnline, Sheets has been named pitcher of the month, and Ryan Braun was rookie of the month:

Young had one less start and 12 less innings in June (29.2 vs. 41.2), so I can kind of understand that. Webb gave up 2 less earned runs than Sheets (8 vs. 10) but 5 extra runs total. Groundball pitchers can actually have an advantage in the ERA department, since they have a more unearned runs on balance.

 

Penny... uhhh.... had less wins. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

I was really expecting Hart to get POM -- glad for Sheets and Braun -- but really wanted to see Hart.

The scariest part about this is the fact Sheets might have just started to find his strikeout groove. Also, if he cuts down on his walks teams better start finding a different way to win other then swinging the bat http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

well, that shows me that I needed to look at the comparison of those guys side-by-side. I pretty much assumed that either Peavy or Penny would take it based on all the coverage and media love they've had this past month. Sheets just quietly got the job done.

Corey "The Hitman" Hart was in the running for the player of the month also.

Nice! Good to see us rack up some awards. Grats Sheeters/Braun.

Why is Sheets getting into a strikeout groove scary?

 

I don't find it scary... I find it enjoyable. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

Did you see who was in 14th in ERA for the month in the link Rluz provided? None other than our own Dave Bush.

So Braun was rookie of the month, did they announce player of the month?

[Fatter than Joey]

Soriano I believe.
