Andrew Heaney has been magnitudes better than people give him credit for. Going into tonight, Heandog had thrown three consecutive gems, two of which were against serious offenses. Yet when you looked at his line, the first thing that caught your eye was that ugly 4.78 ERA.
And now, saying that he might have a talent level closer to his 3.45 FIP might be underselling the man. A. Lot.
Andrew Heaney threw 8 innings of what can only be described as ruthless baseball. The Astros looked vintage (51-113 2013 Astros vintage) against his devastating sliders and brutally located fastballs.
