Don't ever make the fans sit through that again. When he came into the inning, was there anyone who has watched this team over the last few years that he would make it through the inning unscathed?
Please, Jerry Manuel, Mets brass, and to anyone who will listen, never ever allow Aaron Heilman to attempt to close out a game ever again. If it was an experiment, then fine, we now know the results and they are not pretty.
Next time around, I'd like to see Eddie Kunz get a shot. If he struggles, just move to the next available arm in the bullpen. But no, not Heilman.
He gives up runs like they're candy when he's not closing, so what in the world would make anyone think in a higher pressure situation he would prosper??
Jerry, you could make every Mets fan happy if you just come out and say "Heilman will never close again. Ever."
