I have to sit at my daughter's Ortho appt for 2 hours, so I brought RBI on a handheld NES player. Playing a 'season' with Detroit to pass the time. Subbing PS for Herndon in each game although I am famously pro-Madlock and anti-Sheridan. I will post after each at-bat. So far:
1-1 with a double and run scored
1-2 after lining out to end the inning with a man on first. Typical
1-3 after a fly out to left field
1-4 after a pop out to the pitcher. If this keeps up, I am going to find the cardboard box that real life PS lives in and burn it down
Brief excitement as Sheridan makes solid contact in his final at bat. I thought it might be a redemption shot, but it was caught well short of the wall in what will likely be his final at bat of the game since I am now up by 10.
Sheridan goes a lackluster 1-5 in a game where 7 homers were hit
In fairness, Madlock went 0-1 in a PH appearance for Doyle Alexander. It carried to the wall in LF but was caught
I have a feeling you sabotaged the Sheridan at bats to justify your hatred
Leads off the 2nd in game 2 with a weak dribbler to SS. One of those Pettis-type infield singles, except Sheridan is only fast enough to almost make it
0-1 and I almost cursed out loud in the middle of the Ortho office. 1-6 overall
Hit a grounder just past the second baseman and it rolled all the way to the wall. Sheridan legged out a triple
1-2 on the game; 2-7 on the day
I'm pretty sure you don't know how to use the great Pat Sheridan. He's too powerful for you do possibly know what to do.
It's like asking an old lady to drive a Ferrari. Too much power for her to handle and she'll crash it.
2B must have learned his lesson as Sheridan hits another grounder but it is easily fielded for out 2 in the 5th. Looking in the dugout at Tengen Field, the Tigers in the dugout are starting to isolate Sheridan and they are looking to Sparky Anderson for answers. For comparison, even Matt Nokes, who is a tremendous slouch, has homered twice today!
1-3 on the game. 2-8 on the day. Sparky Anderson considering trading Sheridan for Pedriq :)
I would like to see a double-blind, placebo study to prove that edfan isn't sabotaging the Sheridan ABs to prove his petty vendetta as justified.
Does anyone know the phone # to the Warren Commission?
Sheridan comes up with a bases loaded double. First 2 RBI of the day for him. 2-4 in this game. 3-9 on the day
Arlen Specter was my neighbor. I'll give him a call and see if he can get the old gang together
Game 2 ended due to the big 6th inning. All of you naysayers remind me of the alien conspiracy theorists on History Channel. Placebo this, Gantry!!!
Can you send me the game tape? I need to have it reviewed. I'll report my findings within two weeks.
Bases empty for another triple that squeaks past the 2B. I am beginning to think that power is beyond PS. Placement the is key to a successful PS at-bat
4-10 on the day. 1-1 in the game
Chet Lemon shows him how it's done and drives PS in on a 2 run homer
Sheridan with an RBI double and Lemon drives him in. 2-2 in the game. 5-11 with 3 RBI on the day. Sheridan is finding his groove. Unfortunately, it is not the groove that BDawk and Gantry wish for it to be. You guys keep looking for Sasquatch and aliens...I'll keep my eye out for a PS home run
Now he's finally trying with Sheridan to keep gantry and me quiet. I'm on to you
Another at bat, another double. 3-3 on the game and 6-12 on the day. Twins have no answer for Tiger bats
Pop out to short to end the inning. 3-4 in the game. 6-13 on the day. To disprove BDawks flawed logic, had Sheridan got on base, I would be up by 10 and would be able to move to the next game
Managed to bat around in the next inning so Sheridan got another at bat. Translation: Sheridan ends 2 innings in a row. 3-5 on the game and 6-14 on the day.
Terrific thread, here.
Sheridan squeaks another through the infield and legs out a triple. I am beginning to call this his max ability. I expect nothing more of him. 1-1 vs Houston. 7-15 on the day
Sat the game down when the dr called me back. Game glitches. Going to replay the Houston game now and will play the 2nd half of the season at another time this weekend
Sheridan is 0-1 on the restart game. Weak pop up to the SS. C'mon guy!
Another pop out to the SS to end the 3rd inning followed by a pop to the pitcher to end the 4th. Take PS out of the equation and this game is probably over right now. 8-0 as it stands
0-3 in this game and 7-18 on the day.
Sheridan did manage a single to avoid the donut for the game. 1-4. 8-19 overall

Terrific thread, here.
It's really fucking good and a pleasant surprise.
Getting ready to fire it back up for the 2nd half of the season. Some commentary from the first half.
Alan Trammell is consistent as a leadoff guy
Kirk Gibson and Darrell Evans are as good as I remember. Lots of homers and rarely disappoint.
Matt Nokes sucks compared to how I remember him as a kid
Pat Sheridan.....lolz
Chet Lemon is solid and underrated
Lou Whitaker is disappointing
Tom Brookens is ok, but slow
I gave Bill Madlock an at bat per game. I was disappointed. 3-5 but no fireworks. Very Sheridan-ish if I may say.
Here is an interesting 'glitch' from the 1at inning of the game vs NY. Darrell Evans on 1st with 2 out. Nokes pops up to SS. I use Evans to try to distract the SS. Doesn't work and he catches the ball. However, Evans is the one that runs crying off the field instead of Nokes. Weird. Anyway, Sheridan subs in to start the top of the 2nd. Stay tuned
Dribbler past the SS and Sheridan legs out a triple. 1-1 on the game and now 9-20 on the day. Still waiting for him to show ANY glimmer of power. Every batting slot on the whole team has at least 1 homer except for the pitcher and Sheridan. Even Nokes has 2 and Whitaker 1
Sheridan flys out weakly to LF in his 2nd at bat. That is followed by a 2 run bomb by Chet Lemon and then Lou Whitaker decides to go back-to-back. I guess PS never visited the BALCO lab during his stint in San Francisco. 1-2 in the game and 9-21 on the day
Sheridan gets a single in his final at bat. Almost got up again in a huge 4th inning, but Matt Nokes 'Sheridan'd' the 3rd out of the inning and denied a 4th AB to PS. Game over after 4 innings. On to St Louis. Sheridan stands at 10-22 on the day.
Sheridan hits another squeaker past the SS and winds up with a double. Nokes and Sheridan make for the weakest 1-2 combo since Gerry Cooney was getting pummeled by Larry Holmes. Most subs would have accidentally hit a homer by now. 1-1 and 11-23 on the day
Nokes and Sheridan kill the 3rd with a fly out to CF and a line out to the Pitcher respectively. Yes. THE PITCHER! PS is now 1-2 on the game and 11-24 on the day. He is 24-24 on disappointing me
Sheridan with another dribbler past the middle infield. These are all hits against the computer AI, but would be easy outs against a human over the age of 3. 2-3 on the game and 12-25 on the day.
Side note...Jack Clark is a one man wrecking crew and I cannot get him out. Would be 9-0 if not for him, but instead is 9-4 on two 2 run homers by hin
Well, it finally happened. Pat Sheridan hits a 3 run homer off of Danny Cox. It is his first RBI since back in game 2. Makes him 3-4 on the day and 13-26 on the day with 1 HR and 5 RBI (I think the RBI count is correct). We will see if this breaks open the levee or if this was a mistake.
Back to old habits. Weak grounder scoots past 2B. Chet Lemon cleans up with a 3 run homer. Sheridan is now 4-5 on the game and 14-27 on the day. Will likely be the last at bat until the SF game because I am now up by 15
We seem to be in another cycle of disappointment. Weak single in the 1st inning and now Sheridan grounds out weakly to the Pitcher.
1-2 vs SF and 15-29 on the day
Sheridan must be reading this thread. Last at bat of the SF game was a rope. Double that scored Nokes from 1st. 2-3 on the game and 16-30 on the day. 6 RBI

Never pitch to Jack Clark, never
Sheridan with another hard hit RBI double. He is 1-1 vs AM and now 17-31 on the day with 7 RBI. Next game, I am going to sub Sheridan in for Nokes and Madlock for Herndon just to slice things up a bit
Sheridan got up twice in the 3rd. He ripped a 3rd straight double this one good for 2 more RBI. He had a chance to put me up by 10 runs with another hit, but he Sheridan'd the inning by fouling out to 3rd. Up 9 going to the bottom of the 3rd. Sheridan is 2-3 in this game and 18-33 on the day
Just keeps getting better
Sheridan pops out again to go 2-4 vs AM. He stands at 18-34 on the day going into the last game of the season. For the record, Madlock just subbed for Jack Morris and ripped a solo homer to center. It will be interesting to see who ends the season with more homers now that they both have 1. Keep in mind that Madlock has only 7 at bats vs Sheridan's 34 to this point

Truer words have never been spoken. This could be added to one of the gospels in the Bible...maybe it could be added to the wisdom of Proverbs
Sheridan subs for Nokes and makes a weak ground out to the pitcher. Madlock subs for Herndon and rips a double and is promptly scored on a HR by Lemon. Sheridan 0-1 in this game and 18-35 on the day
Sheridan comes up again and grounds out to 1st. Madlock follows with a solo jack. 0-2 on the game vs NA so far and 18-36 on the season. Madlock has 2 HR to Sheridan's 1
Putting Sheridan at #4 is patently unfair, he's not used to that position. SHENANIGANS
Edfan is as bad of a Pat Sheridan player as Gantry is great at being a Rob Wilfong player.
Sheridan and Madlock came through with back-to-back RBI doubles. 1-3 on the game. I believe this gives him 10 RBI on the day and he is 19-37

Are you saying he's the world's worst Pat Sheridan player?
Sheridan and Madlock both with terrible at bats. Sheridan with the patented ground out to the pitcher and Madlock with the infield pop out. Sheridan is 19-38 on the day and 1-4 in the game. He will be lucky to get another at bat due to the score. I may keep it close to keep the game going

Pat Sheridan is the worlds worst Pat Sheridan...possibly the worlds worst human. Thanks, Obama
Gibson homers with 1 out. There will be at least 1 more PS at bat. Depending on how much he Sheridan's, Madlock may get another at bat
Sheridan and Madlock each single in their final at bats. Sheridan goes 2-5 in the game and 20-39 on the day. 1 HR and 10 RBI is pretty mediocre especially given the legendary status given by the likes of Gantry and BDawk. I would have to say that Sheridan might be worth subbing for Nokes. He is disappointing, but less disappointing than Nokes. Madlock is still definitely the right man for the 5 spot. In summary, Pat Sheridan cannot hold Madlock's jock strap, but can hold Nokes'. I am sure that if I called Sheridan's parents, wife, or kids,, they would confirm that he disappoints in all aspects of life
I guess someone should have got Pat Sheridan Insurance: https://www.facebook.com/Patsheridaninsurance
RBIs ARE SITUATIONAL! Not a good indicator of hitting ability. I knew this was rigged!
If you are grounding out to the pitcher, it's not the RBI player that is to be blamed.

Well played. However, I hit multiple home runs from every other spot in the order except for Sheridan en route to winning each game by the 10 run rule. How do you explain that? Even Nokes had 2 homers. Whitaker had at least 2 as well. Madlock had 2 in limited at bats. Sheridan is clearly inferior. He had 9 full games to prove his worth. His worth has been proven, indeed. He's worth a Dave Bergman rookie card with a big crease down the middle and Archi Cianfrocco's signature on said card
I may have to duplicate your games and see what I come up with. Probably don't have the dedication though, how many total games did you play?
9 total games. 1 vs each team. I did the first one during my daughters appointment and then finished off the last 5 games after I got home
I did the 1st 8 games with Sheridan in the 5 spot for Herndon and the last game with Sheridan in the 4 and Madlock in the 5. I was a huge Nokes guy as a kid so I never tried that before. It may be my new strategy
Bunpst for documentation and data in support of Pat Sheridan's mediocrity
I may fire up the NES today and give Sheridan a shot at redemption from or confirmation of his suckery

Here we go
And it begins...
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180909/c0e1b47e172739a4d7556cb476d2d4f9.jpg)
Trammell triples to start the game. Gibson scores him on his own triple. Evans clears it with a 2 run homer. Nokes rips one off the wall but is so slow that he only manages a single. PS with his 1st at bat. Nobody out and Nokes on 1st.
Sheridan flies out to left for the first out of the inning
Lemon drives in Nokes on a double. Whitaker clears the bases on a home run. 6-0 in the top of the 1st. Still just 1 out. Guess who?
Pitcher popped out and Gibson flies out to left to end the 1st inning.
PS = 0-1
I was held scoreless in the 2nd. Evans leads off with a double. Nokes gets out. Sheridan gets his 2nd at bat. He makes solid contact, but right at the 2nd baseman (Grich). He hit is hard enough + Darrell Evans is so slow that he got doubled off of second prior to reaching the base. Sheridan Sheridan's his first inning
PS = 0-2

PS = 0-2
Meanwhile O Doyle Rules is dominating on the mound. 7 batters faced. 1 hit, no runs, 5 strikeouts. Struck out the side in the 2nd on 9 pitches
shat peridan
O Doyle Rules helps himself with a 3 run homer (inside the park of course). Gibson and Evans get on which leaves 2 out and 2 on for Nokes. I sub in Madlock for Matty Fatty and he unloads a 3 run bomb. This will give Sheridan his 3rd and probably final at bat of the game
PS with his first hit of the game. A seeing eye single through the right side. Lemon drives him in on a double
PS = 1-3
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180909/800ebfdfc2d0db5161d17ae0804b3c94.jpg)
Home runs by:
Evans
Whitaker
Alexander
Madlock
PS goes 1-3 with a single and a run scored. Impressive start, Pat
Pat Sheridan comes up in the 1st vs Roger Clemens. Nokes on 2nd, 1 our, Tigers leading 2-0. Sheridan flies out to center. With Nokes on 2nd, there is no point in trying to advance and end the inning at 3rd base.
PS = 0-1 in the game; 1-4 on the day
Nokes ended the 2nd, so Sheridan's 2nd at bat of the game had to wait until the top 3rd. Sheridan was looking for blood. Clemens has lost a little zip on his fastball already. Sheridan is 1st pitch swinging and connects. At first glance, it has a shot. The ball dies well shy of the warning track and in Dwight Evans glove. Can o Corn as they say
PS = 0-2 on the game; 1-5 on the day
PS lead off the 5th with his 1st extra base hit of the day. Another seeing eye hit, but thanks to computer AI, it went to the wall and Sheridan got a triple out of it. Boston proves to be a worthy foe. I am struggling to hit for power and the Tigers lead shrinks to 7-5 after a 3 run shot by Gedman. Bottom 6 and Morris is not looking HOF-worthy. Still better than PS, though
PS = 1-3 in the game; 2-6 on the day
PS comes up again in the 6th and hits another seeing eye single.
PS = 2-4 in the game; 3-7 on the day so far
Well what do you know? After an all around team struggle vs Boston, Tigers bounce back early vs the Twins. After a leadoff groundout by Trammell, Gibson doubles. Evans drives in Gibson. Madlock subs for Nokes. 2 on and 1 out as PS subs in for Herndon. 1st pitch and Sheridan gets a hold of it. The ball is hit to center and Kirby Puckett is on it. Puckett drifts back to the wall, and the ball disappears into The Black Thing. Pat Sheridan hits a 3 run homer to dead center. 1st PS homer in a loooooooong time for me. We will see if this is the start of a PS turnaround
PS = 1-1 in the game; 4-8 on the day with 1 homer and 3 RBI
Right back to the old Sheridan. Leads off the 2nd with a ground out to 3rd. Lemon follows with a homer. Oddly, Kirk Gibson and Tom Brookens have yet to homer. They're usually solid power performers
PS = 1-2 in the game; 4-9 on the day
Sheridan up for his 3rd at bat in as many innings. Homered in the first With 2 on and 1 out now he is back in the same situation in the third. And the result...
Sheridan pops out in his third and likely final at bat of the game vs Twins
PS 1-3 in the game; 4-10 on the day with 1 home run
O Doyle Rules Alexander turns in another solid performance. Mows down all 9 batters he faces in order giving up no hits en route to an 11-0 victory. Next up Houston
Sheridan vs Nolan Ryan. This went about as well as you'd expect. After fouling off a few, Sheridan gets fooled by the old flutterball. The umpire counted it as a bunt attempt and called Sheridan out after the ball rolled foul. Sheridan had some choice words for the umpire, but ultimately cried and ran back to the bench as is RBI protocol
PS = 0-1 is the game; 4-11 overall
Jack Morris continues to ride the struggle bus in Houston while Pat Sheridan has reached his stop. Morris gave up a 2 run homer to Glenn Davis. Pat Sheridan comes up in the top of the 3rd with 2 out and 1 on. Score tied 2-2. He got down 0-2 vs Nolan Ryan, but took Ryan deep to right for his 2nd homer of the day.
PS now 1-2 in the game and 5-12 overall with 2 home runs
PS bats in the 4th and has another seeing eye hit that rolls around long enough for a triple.
PS = 2-3 in the game; 6-13 overall
Another PS at bat, another PS seeing eye single. It really is his calling card.
PS = 3-4 in the game; 7-14 on the day with 2 home runs
Sheridan was the only Tiger to homer off of Astros pitching, so there's that.
Jack Morris did finally settle in and gave up no more runs after the Davis dinger.
Sheridan leads off the 2nd vs the Mets with pop out to Ray Knight. My hatred of PS is creeping. What a dick
Apparently, Pat Sheridan has a 'thing' for Ray Knight. 2nd at bat, he lines out to Knight
PS = POS = 0-2 in the game and 7-16 on the day.
In the 6th inning, Pat Sheridan falls out of love with Ray Knight and into love with Wally Backman. Line out to 2nd to push to 0-3 vs the Mets. Should have at least 1 more AB vs them
PS = 0-3 in the game; 7-17 overall
PS avoids a hitless game by pushing a dribbler past Rafael Santana in his 4th and final at bat.
PS = 1-4 in the game; 8-18 overall
Fun Fact: Tom Brookens Hits a home run in every at bat. Unfortunately, 100% of the time, the hike run is foul
PS has been up twice vs St Louis. AB 1 = weak PS dribbler per usual. AB 2, he flirted with his 3rd homer of the day, but settled for a triple off the top of the wall
That should make him
2-2 in the game and 10-20 on the day
In his final 2 at bats, Sheridan does Sheridan. Ground out to 3rd and then another weak grounder through the left side
3-4 vs Cardinals and 11-22 on the day with 2 home runs
Sheridan's gonna Sheridan. 3 at bats vs SF through 4 innings so far. 3 groundouts
0-3 in the game; 11-25 on the day
Prior to Sheridan's 4th and final at bat, Darrell Evans homers (again). Mart Nokes makes it back to back homers. Pat Sheridan flies out to right to end the inning. 1st hitless game of the day
0-4 vs SF; 11-26 on the day
1st at bat vs AM = another groundout
0-1 and 11-27. 2nd half of this season has been a total struggle for PS.
Sheridan flies out to right in his 2nd at bat
0-2 and 11-28 overall. Sheridan hasn't had a hit in quite a few at bats
Sheridan finally pulls himself together and manages a single through the right side vs AM in his 3rd at bat
1-3 vs AM; 12-29 on the day
Screw Pat Sheridan. Another fly out.
12-30 on the day
Sheridan is the worst. Had a chance to come through in a tight spot. Up 1 with 2 out and 2 on. Chance to get some insurance. Fly out to right. THE. WORST.
1-5 in the game. 12-31 on the day. How do you Pat Sheridan apologists sleep at night? Your entire life is a lie
Last game, first at bat. 2 our and men on 2nd and 3rd. Sheridan grounds out to end the inning. What a pile of suck
0-1 vs NA and 12-32 overall.
Sheridan gets a weak hit to the right side to start the 3rd. Woo hoo. Other than his 2 home runs, almost all of his hits have been 'Pettis-like'
1-2 vs NA; 13-33 overall
Sheridan must have sensed my sarcasm. He comes up in the top of the 5th and smacks a solo shot to right. 3rd homer of the day
2-3 vs NA; 14-34 overall
Pat Sheridan hit the ball hard again. Wound up with a double to the gap in right
3-4 vs NA; 15-35 on the day. Will likely get 1 more AB
Barring a major meltdown, PS has now had his final at bat. Appropriately enough, he popped out to short to end his run
3-5 vs NA; 15-36 overall. 3 home runs. An overall mediocre performance. There were some bright spots, but they were few and far between
edfan! Great to see you again! Awesome with these updates! Way to keep the NES RBI alive!
edfan should try this same experiment with Spilman since he also comes off the bench and has very similar speed/contact ratings. Does Sheridan suck, or is 831 PWR with a 24-28 contact just not a good profile for an RBI hitter? We need a control group here.

I will run the Spilman Experiment next weekend if time allows.
I might also run a Wilfong Experiment too
