Andrew Heaney starting Field of Dreams game

[ScottT]

I've been somewhat interested in going to Dyersville, Iowa, but it's in the middle of nowhere.

I looked into tickets when this game was announced. Ticket prices were a bit high, then they dropped 

If the Angels were playing, I would've made it.  If they do... even if they dont... I will get there someday.  

I'm more interested in seeing the Angels in Japan, though...

WTF was Aron Boone thinking, having Britton attempt to close the game?

Only some 15 innings coming into today, 6.00+ ERA and high WHIP?

Have you seen their IL lately?

Is it bad that when Joe Buck was calling Jimenez HR and he began the sentence with "...and right on cue Jimenez goes the opposite way."

I was sure that sentence was going to end with "...and right on cue Heaney gives up another dinger homer."

(Sorry, forgot DINGER is a verboten word now.)

Even I thought extreme wokeists jumped the gun.  I have SOME limits ffs.  Do some research on Google for Dinger and Rockies before jumping to conclusions.

Even if he were racist, being a Rockies fan, especially with that road record, is punishment enough anyways.

You guys should stop hating on the HeanDawg

Not so much him but the team.  Yankee hate always comes first on principle alone.

Junk for junk indeed.

I bet my Yankee fan buddy that Heaney would give up 3 homers.

So that was fun for me yesterday.

I did see that Green and Luetge each pitched two innings the day before.   But Loaisiga had not pitched the day before, and has been a lot better than Britton this season.

But, the Skanks losing that game was a good thing to be sure.

I didn't watch the game, in protest of starving minor leaguers.

Wow Heaney really sucks though. Surprised they started him on that occasion.

ERA 5.78

Once again, take a look at their IL. They're screwed

The irony is Taco Bell has the same foundational philosophy as the field of dreams when it comes to baseball players.

If you build it they will come.

Heaney may soon be out of their rotation with the imminent return of Luis Severino, and Cole having recovered from Covid.

His Yankee ERA in three starts is 9.00

I will have a come-apart if the Yankees place Heaney on waivers, and Minasian claims him.

That would be like getting Junk and the other dude (Trash Considerations) for free.

4D chess.
