aaron heilman is a starting pitcher

keep trying to smash a square peg into a round hole; this is what you get..

what?

he’s been fine for the most part. Every pitcher gets hit. He gave up one home run.

Exacerbated by a leadoff 4-pitch walk.

Yesterday, it was OK when Lilly let the first two batters score, because we had 9 innings to catch up. That doesn’t work for a late reliever.

i agree

heilman is not a relief picher; never bhas been

by brian custer on May 8, 2009 11:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

He is a relief pitcher

a LONG relief pitcher. He has done pretty well this year when used in that role.

Aaron Heilman hasn't started a game since 2005

what the hell do you keep talking about? Seriously it’s a weird obsession to you.

Okay, I've been gone all night. Missed the entire game.

Is Aramis really gone for the whole year??

Kind of the "lost " thread .

To be determined

I don’t think anyone said “whole year” – but a dislocated shoulder has been known to take 2-3 months. It depends on the severity.

by ChipSet on May 8, 2009 10:59 PM CDT up reply actions  

a seperated shoulder is much worse then a dislocation i believe

3 months is awfully long for a dislocation, if that is in fact what is

that fact Lou overused Marmol

that last three days pisses me off. Why waste him when we are up four on the Astros and thus make him unavailble tonight. Lou has not brought his A game this year.

Because Lou want's to prove he does not trust anyone else

so he just put’s in Marmol till his arm falls off. He has put him in several times with decent leads. It is not just this year. Last year just before the All star game he put him in with a FIVE run lead which he blew , before that he put him in with a six run lead.
