  • A's News Clips, Friday, June 25, 2010 Oakland A's Reliever Michael
    A’s News Clips, Friday, June 25, 2010 Oakland A's reliever Michael Wuertz's struggles are puzzlement By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune Observe Michael Wuertz in the A's clubhouse, and there's little that suggests how rough this season has been on him. The soft-spoken reliever generally keeps to himself at his locker, much as he did last season when he was mowing down American League hitters with regularity. He isn't fooling the opposition nearly as much in 2010, and without much prodding, Wuertz opens up about his frustration. "I've never struggled like this before," he said before Wednesday's A's loss against the Cincinnati Reds. "It's been hard mentally, but it's one of those things you've got to forget about." It's easy to point to the A's hitting woes for why they have lost ground rapidly in the American League West. Long-term injuries to starting pitchers Brett Anderson and Justin Duchscherer haven't helped. But the A's normally trusty bullpen also has shown vulnerability, posting a 2-6 record with a 4.97 ERA in June. Wuertz's struggles stand out if only because he was so dominant last year, his first season with Oakland. As the setup man for closer Andrew Bailey, Wuertz led AL relievers with 102 strikeouts. He averaged 11.67 strikeouts per nine innings, the second-highest rate by a reliever in Oakland history, and held opponents to a .188 batting average. This season has told a different story. After missing the first month with right shoulder tendinitis, Wuertz has posted a 7.11 ERA in 17 games heading into tonight's series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

  • A's News Clips, Friday, May 7, 2010 Low Coliseum Turnout No
    A’s News Clips, Friday, May 7, 2010 Low Coliseum turnout no surprise to new A's By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune, 5/7/2010 Playing in front of empty seats at the Oakland Coliseum is as commonplace for A's players as taking batting practice. The team's attendance woes have drawn increased attention recently, particularly after the A's drew just 8,874 to Monday's game against the Texas Rangers, their smallest announced crowd since 2003. For those who have been with the team a while, the sparse turnouts are a fact of life. But the A's imported several new players this season, some of whom came from the National League and didn't have much exposure to the Coliseum before this year. What's been their reaction? "It didn't really catch me off-guard," said third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff, who spent the past three seasons with the Padres. "Some of the guys said in spring training that we didn't draw too well. I didn't expect too many fans. In San Diego, we didn't draw too well. I just looked up (in the stands earlier this season) and said, 'Well, that's the way it is.' " But Kouzmanoff has formed another impression as well. "The fans we do draw are die-hard, hard-core fans," he said. "They're beating their drums, waving their flags." The A's home attendance has decreased each of the last six seasons. So it isn't much of a surprise that they've averaged just 16,552 fans through 17 home games this year, even as they lead the American League West.
