Yes, they played the Reds.

Holy crap, Batman. Ben Sheets: 0 IP, 8 H, 10 R, 9 ER, 1 BB, 1 HR.

Now, wait just a minute. Let's just consider only the statistics a pitcher has absolute control over (base on balls, home runs, strikeouts), and plug Sheets' values into the formula for his Defense-Independent ERA. This is the stuff sophisticated talent evaluators like Billy Beane find meaningful.

DIPS ERA = [ ( (13HR) + (3BB) - (2K) ) / IP ]

[ ( (13 x 1) + (3 x 1) - (2 x 0) ) / 0 ] = no solution

Nevermind. He does suck.

Cueto with a solid outing, little wild, but not bad. Gomes hit his 4th homer of the spring and Rosales hit his 2nd, against his former team. Still in progress right now.
