Andrew Heaney has made two starts so far this season for the Texas Rangers. He has failed to go five innings in either of those two starts, despite throwing a significant number of pitches in each out (90 pitches in 4.2 IP in his first start, 82 pitches in 3.2 IP yesterday). His first time out, against the Tampa Bay Rays, he was effective if not terribly efficient, striking out seven of 20 batters faced and not walking anyone, allowing just four hits. His second outing, however, saw him face 19 batters, walk three, striking out just two, and allow a home run that might still be traveling as I type this.
