I don't know what this is about/coming from
Well, that's what happens when Yankees fans come in here saying "they stink".
But ANYWAYS,
Heilman has a 96mph fastball and an 80mph changeup with a very good slider (he has been effective since he incorporated that slide a month ago), from the restof the guys in the pen that is the best stuff. When used properly and with that new effective 3rd pitch he was lights out, its not easy to dip your ERA whenyou give up 2 grand slams this season and had a horrible first month and a half.
Win/loss don't mean shhh when you have Jerry throwing him out there for 3 innings in extra innings because nobody else is available, he gets a loss givingup a HR to Pujols. Yesterday forced to pitch 2 innings because everyone else sucks and he gives up a HR which breaks a tie......he is being overworked....that's called taking unnecessary blame when the Mets are losing games they shouldn't (they shouldn't even be in these late inningsituations). Every outing its 2+ innings and he gets burnt at the end of these outings, and clueless fans want to blame it all on HIM.
While I appreciate what Omar has done in putting this franchise back on the map and contending for a playoff spot since 2005, he has no one to blame buthimself about the bullpen situation.
I will give him kudos for not making any trade deadline deals, because if he dealt any of our blue chip prospects I would have given up on him.
