Sean O`Sullivan Has His Vin Mazzaro Moment as Royals Fall to Rangers

in Royals Game Recaps
Email
PrintThe long baseball season has a way of making every worst case scenario come true, eventually. We all knew heading into this season that the Royals had almost nothing, literally almost nothing, by way of starting pitching, and that no matter how good the bullpen was and how improved the offense might be, it was going to be hard to survive the daily grind with no good or long or both starts ever. And that has more or less happened in the last month.
Tonight the Royals were coming off of back to back extra inning contests, and what has felt like a month long stretch of four and five reliever outings. Day after day. Night after night. They needed innings and they needed a good start, when they handed the ball to Sean O`Sullivan tonight in Texas.
They got the innings, almost. They certainly didn't get the good performance.
A worrying sign for 2012 is that it is increasingly evident that the Royals have nearly an entire rotation to build from scratch. I don't see it.

Ned threw Collins out there for 27 pitches a night after he threw 44 pitches
I think he’s gonna need to bring Collins out for 15 pitches tomorrow to get mentioned on here

Ned rationale?
1) Collins is left-handed
2) all left handers throw softer than right handers
3) left handers can be thrown out there almost every day

wonder what the post-1988 record is for most pitches in 2 straight games
all in relief..
Collins putting up 71 pitches in 2 games is going to be hard to beat.

its probably held by someone who threw 80 or so in a mop up situation...
back to back 30+ outings is rare though
looking at Ned's Milwaukee history
he seems to be using 21yo Tim Collins like he’s 38yo Brian Shouse. Shouse got 201 appearances in 3 years of use by Yost.
Collins might be on another level because he has never started a game at any level, so the use of him for 40 pitches in an outing is kind of bizarre.
Steve Searcy had 132 pitches over 2 days in 1990, with 77 pitches on day 2 in a game marred by rain. Searcy was also an occasional starting pitcher.
Jason Berken had 85 and 76 pitches in 2 days in 2010, but 74 pitches in the 2nd game both times. Berken was also a former starter.
Darrel Akerfelds got 134 pitches over 3 straight games in June 1991. Also had 91 and 71 pitch relief outings on 0 days rest. Then he got optioned in July 1991 and never played in the majors.

I'm troubled by the apparent comments that Yost/Moore made about
being given to using these young bullpen arms up rather than babying them…
need to find the link for that

Makes no sense. Didn't Yost specifically say that Holland was one of his two inning specialists?
Holland was also one of two pitchers not used yesterday. Does not compute.

Is it to the point where it might be more beneficial for the Royals to trade one or more of their prospects
for some established, or even not established but high upside starting pitching?
Would you trade Moustakas for someone like, erm, a young-ish, decent pitcher with some upside?

Agreed
I hope they go the Paulino route — find a guy that you can give a month tryout on the waiver wire.
Or, give Pucetas 2 starts. He is pitching OK in Omaha — it might take two turns through the rotation before he gets lit up, then you can perhaps take a shot a bringing up Monty. bruce Chen could also be back by then.
Chen is a reasonable back end guy
SOS, after starting decent, has gone into Luis Mendoza territory.
I think it might be worth it to keep shuttling guys back and forth to play the hot hand. Nothing else seems to be working.
we can do that for this year, because we already suck
but the royals aren’t going to get to .500 doing that
Agreed
I was only suggeting short term solutions. They have to develop/sign guys for next year. Right now, the rotation for 2012 would be:
Hoch
Monty (he will surely be up by the end of this year)
Duffy
??
??
They have to find two more guys in FA or trade. I think you would have to sign a veteran arm of some quality, probably similar to the signings this year. Maybe Miner could play at the back end of the rotation. The gas cans (SOS/Mazzaro/Pucetas) are fine as injury filler for the first part of the year.
Eventually, someone from High A or Double A is going to have to filter up this year and be challenging for a job next year. Lamb looks out of the picture. Dwyer is struggling. If Odorizzi continues to pitch well, I can see him getting some Double A experience this year and being ready for AAA early next year. but they have to come from somewhere…
It might be worth spending some money for a innings eater type on the FA market in the offseason.
I also think
it might be worth a shot to try a couple of their good arms in the rotation. Coleman has two dominating pitches and started in college. Collins has three pitches and is pitching the innings of a starter anyway. Teaford was a starter…and then Crow…you get the point. Shifting pieces on the current roster might be a better bet for effectiveness.
what the hell is going on with crow at this point?
he sucked in the minors as a starter, and is now going to spend all of 2011 as a short reliever
I dont have high hopes
Coleman and Crow
I don’t really think Coleman will ever be a starter, because I think most scouts and coaches worry that his unique delivery will lead to injury with that kind of pitching load. I look for him to be eventual closer material.
I’d love to see them stretch Crow out and throw him in the rotation early next year. I think he has to have a lot of confidence facing ML hitters now, and he has a 3rd and 4th pitch that just need some work and could be pretty good.

good bullpen...
people freak out about losing late… look at the soria games
people go absolutely nuts
a game like tonight, we all just tune out and move on
Ive given up hope of seeing .500 again this year
I know our roster is loaded with talent both in the bigs and the minors, and just hope that maybe this year, with all its trials and tribulations will show the Royals who the best coaching staff is to put into place.
While I dont hate Yost so much, I really feel that maybe some of the other position coaches have to go to enable these talented players to reach their potential.
It just seems to me there is something
that continually brings the Royals into a shitty slump. Maybe its the coaching maybe its the pitching, maybe its the hitting, but eventually with the talent we have, the players as themselves and a collective unit should be able to overcome this. Year after year we endure these prolonged slumps, and while I can’t name anyone who I wish would manage the Royals or be bench coaches, I just think that maybe, just maybe with some more qualified help, these young superstars may be able to reach full potential.
I think you are overvaluing the Royals talent

maybe I am
but I just feel that if all these scouts, from all these teams really say we have something special brewing in KC then why hasn’t it come yet? I mean Hosmer has really showed he is actually “good” for the most part, then why do we always hit these slumps? I know from the internet and media that Yost is a “hardass” so to speak then why are we taking 5 or 6 game losing streaks?
I just think that hopefully all this talent wont be squandered and the fanbase will actually have something to root for, and for once the players will be more important than the post game conferance from the manager who is just going to do the obvious an deflect the blame.
The Royals have the uncanny ability
to lose. They pitch like shit when they hit well, which catches up to them. They pitch well when they hit like shit, which catches up to them. And just as often as the first two scenarios, they pitch and hit like shit simultaneously. Basically, what I’m trying to say is that this team is not a complete team, nor has it been in 25 years.

So,
is SOS on the bus to Omaha yet? Three bad starts in a row, trendline heading down. Best might be to go to a four or even three man rotation,; Hoch, Francis, and Duffy til Chen gets back. At five innings each they’ld get a normal starter’s work load spread out over a number of weeks.
you limit your options when
one of the more qualified starters in the system gets exiled because he didn’t react the right way to giving up 14 runs… so because Mazzaro is exiled. It’s O’Sullivan or nothing right now

Thought
Mazzaro went down because he sucked and couldn’t adjust. He’s been alright in Omaha, but nothing to show great qualification to return.
“It’s O’Sullivan or nothing right now”
Or it’s a four man rotation til Master Chen returns. Three bad starts in a row probably shouldn’t earn a fourth. I’ve thought all along that SOS was on the thinnest ice, but he put together a few good starts and stuck around.
by Jim Fetterolf on May 28, 2011 11:20 PM EDT up reply actions
why the hell would we roast our rotation with a 4 man rotation?
we’re not in contention
and Mazzaro got demoted for attitude reasons as much as the 14 run game. Nate Adcock was not an upgrade over Vin Mazzaro in ability.
The handling of Mazzaro was horrible from a people management standpoint unless Mazzaro somehow forced their hand by not taking enough of the blame for the 14 run game.
The arrogance of the organization sometimes would be more endearing if they had accomplished something on the ML level in 5 years. There is a certain degree of arrogance for them to say right now that Vin Mazzaro isn’t even in contention for one of the 5 rotation spots when the rotation is 3 guys and 2 fill-ins.

Four guys throwing five or six innings every fourth day is hardly a ‘roast’, not like they’re throwing seven or eight innings like real major league starters.
“Nate Adcock was not an upgrade over Vin Mazzaro in ability.”
Adcock pitched well in his first start and has pitched well in the ’pen. Mazzaro was indifferent in Omaha and got rocked here, so went back to Omaha and is pitching alright, but nothing attention grabbing.
“There is a certain degree of arrogance for them to say right now that Vin Mazzaro isn’t even in contention for one of the 5 rotation spots when the rotation is 3 guys and 2 fill-ins.”
Wasn’t aware they had said that. My understanding is that Mazzaro needs to fix some things and earn a chance back up. He’s pitching decently in Omaha, about like Suppon or Pucetis, but not forcing anything. I agreed with sending him down and think SOS should join him and Jeffress. 10 or 14 runs in one game isn’t acceptable.
by Jim Fetterolf on May 29, 2011 12:19 AM EDT up reply actions
I think you can read between the lines
when Mazzaro is getting demoted at a time where the rotation needs someone, that’s a pretty obvious sign that he’s getting buried.
As for the effects of a 4 man rotation…
the rotation would be two injury risks (Hochevar and Francis), a young arm that shouldn’t be in a 4 man rotation (Duffy) and Felipe Paulino. And you might claim that they’re not real starters for not throwing 7/8 innings, but they’re working enough pitches to fit into 7/8 innings
Considering the problems with pitching depth in the minors, risking an injury to a Duffy makes things far worse.

I thought we resolved the issue as being one of semantics
As long as your “sucks” is the same as my “looks like a #5 starter, kind of”, then I’m OK with that. But this season he’s got a 4.88 FIP, which is at least passable (for a #4/5), though his 5.27 xFIP looks less non-sucky.
Whether we believe this season is the true SOS or he’s just been “lucky” (if you can call it that), that’s another matter.

But just to clarify further, that 4.88 FIP was before last night’s game, so he was replacement level (i.e., was worthless) before last night’s outing. His currrent FIP is 6.03, although his ERA is 6.75, so he may have had some bad luck. After all, his 2011 xFIP is only 5.42.

I may be looking way too much into this..
But remember when Jeff reported from Bloggers Day at the K (it might have been that I-70 blog guy instead, don’t remember) and that Chen said he felt ready to be throwing again but the team wouldn’t let him? At the time, I suspected the team wanted him to stay down so as not to get in the way of the young arms (and that’s about as conspiratorial as I get). If true.. bet they’d be regretting that now.

We will need to start from scratch with the starting rotation
But, I think Duffy is piece #1. If I’m Dayton Moore, everything else must go. That’s not really that bad of a thing if we have some rookies in place. We’ve got the money to spend on two really good starters if need be. Hoch might be a decent # 5, but he might be better for the bully. I haven’t looked at the FA SP market for next year, but we should be very competitive in that market.
I need to go take a Davies and wipe my Elarton. Excuse me.
If Hoch can become an innings-eater,
like Nedders seems content on making damn sure he does just so, he’s useful. He’s not, and never will be, an ace, but if he goes 7 2/3 and gives up 4-5 runs every 5 days … we’ve trotted out much worse.
The SP are as suck as we expected
and those who imploded are never part of THE PROCESS
