It's time to move on from Heaney. I feel bad because he's a super cool guy, but he just can't be counted on.
The Angels need a minimum of 3 quality starters this offseason. and 4 would be preferable
He's still arbitration eligible for two more seasons. Do you think there is any chance he can give the Angels their money's worth? It certainly won't be a high figure.

Whatever happened to Tropeano after that start they gave him. Or bulk start, whatever the fu** it was.
7 ERA and 1.5 WHIP in AAA. I don't think they are counting on him to be part of the MLB club's future.

I actually thought Richards/Heaney/Skaggs/Tropeano was a rotation that could be relied on to be a consistent contender. In 30+ years of watching baseball, it is the single dumbest opinion I have ever had.

God Mariner fans are the worst. Pasty nerds, the lot of them.
Imagine 18 years of no postseason. Imagine winning 116 games in a season and then losing to the Yankees in October. Imagine having Junior, ARod, Big Unit and Ichiro all on your team in less than half a decade and never making it to the World Series.
Let them celebrate a shutout. They won't be celebrating anything else with Dipoto there.

Good night gang.

The month of July isn't even 2/3 over and the Angels have already had a player die and their All-Star second baseman break his leg on a foul ball. A Mike Leake perfect game seems par for the course.

Is there a single person who did not see that coming?

Are we seriously getting no-hit by Mike Fuckin Leake?
He's thrown 37 pitches. What Andrew Heaney would call "an effective inning."

How about we give White more than 3.5 months?
And also give him Ohtani, a non-rookie Canning, and a free agent starter who isn't Harvey or Cahill.

Nothing has improved with Harvey.
Nope. He's done. Seattle is awful and the whole team was riding an emotional high last weekend.

Awesome double play!
Especially considering where that 0-2 pitch was located.

The Houston pen is not usually a back door to get back in the game. Can't miss on scoring opportunities like that.
I agree.
Hey, that was fun, I see why you guys do it so much...

Teams above .500 kill us.
Jeff Fletcher wrote about this the other day - it's the AL Division leaders who own the Angels (3-13). Against everyone else, the Angels are 45-33.

Can the Angels play teams worse than them again
Yes, the next two weekends are Seattle and Baltimore.

I don’t know what the record is for most wild pitches in one game, but Canning has to be knocking on the door with his 17 th WP of the game so far.
Rick Ankiel threw 5 in one inning once. Not sure about the Angels team record.

No hitter still intact.

Who ever said he was an arm to build around and not just a mid rotation starter at best?
“His strikeout rate is we believe sustainable, his pitch quality from a raw data standpoint – spin rates and such – compares favorably with the upper-echelon pitchers in our league" - Jerry Dipoto

Solid at bat, Upton.
There should be a kangaroo court for any pitcher who throws him a fastball.

Funny to see these comments back to back, because they are my two main thoughts on Heaney: 1) Pitchers under club control are such a luxury. Even though I don't think Heaney will ever be fully healthy - didn't he admit as much with his "I hate my body" article? - it just feels worth taking the risk to keep him. The payoff could be so much bigger than the letdown. Intellectually I know it's not likely but still...
And 2) I've been an Angels fan since I was 7 years old, but Kendrick is the only player whose jersey/shirt I ever bought. I was such a big fan. Part of me not wanting to give up on Heaney is that I desperately want that trade to have not been a complete bust.
