Heyward benched in favor of Coghlan.

[Angel Oracle]

Rumors were rampant that Heyward would become a utility OF in the WS.

When your hitting reminds one of Joyce with the Halos in 2015, starts become fewer and farther in between.

Mastermind Maddon.

Shhhhhhh don't tell Stradling. That's his boy.

That is crazy. I wasnt as fired up as some on here to chase him last year (my pick upton is just as bad), but man has that guy fallen off.

Still young enough that this may just be a bad year (personal reasons), but he was as good of a bet as any to work out.

It's getting old troll.  Yes I would have signed Heyward, you thought Nava was a good signing and you liked our team going into the season.  You come on here and mouth-shit all over the team, the owner the manager and it's a tired act.  Figure out how to be less of a dick or give yourself another timeout.

Sorry I forgot to add 

Not meant to be personal. Just ribbing you Strad.

Is that even allowed?  Apparently so, someone should inform our manager.

[Kevin]

Thank God for the yacht.

I'll take Albert's production this year over benchwarmer.

[Stradling]

Well offensively isn't even close.  

[Docwaukee]

Maddon is racist.  

[Stradling]

Maddon threw a couple of shitty pitches to that catcher Perez

Everyone make sure Lou's aware of this tidbit of information he might want to mention it in the World Series thread.

[Stradling]

How many times cali?

I do wonder if Scioscia would bench a player like Heyward in a similar situation.

Scioscia has shown that he will adapt in the playoffs, though...  like when he brought in Washburn out of the bullpen to face David Ortiz.   In all fairness, he does adjust.  Not sure if it's enough... see the sac bunt...... I mean sac bunts.  He did use Frankie Rodriguez very well in 2002.

I'm am sure that Heyward will return to his career norms next season, but he has been horrible this season.  He is better than he was this season.

that's true, then again, he can't really be any worse

Hahaha...true.  He has nowhere to go but up.

[totdprods]

Regardless of how he performed this year or how we will do in years ahead, Eppler would really have his hands tied this offseason. Interesting to see if he stays super cheap one more offseason to give himself ample payroll flexibility or if he'll spend this year.

[mtangelsfan]

Maybe Maddon shouldn't have benched Heyward.

[arch stanton]

He'll make a great late inning defensive replacement for Schwarber
