First, let me pause for a moment to complain about FanGraphs. They are my first resource whenever I want to check some baseball stats. I like their website and the way things are organized. But their information about Jon Heasley completely left out his curveball. It’s a sensational pitch, or at least it was tonight. So I’m sorry I didn’t mention it in the gamethread preview.
As you might have guessed based on that preamble, Heasley was very good tonight. He ended up pitching 5.1 scoreless innings while striking out three and walking two.
