[Thunder]

Should be an interesting game. Miller gets a lot of run support, but that's not not guaranteed today with Buehrle. Not going to ruin my mojo. When online during the game it's a loss.

[AtWork]

Miller willed get raped.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

The power is coming back!

[AtWork]

Can we just spot them 5 runs and bring in our bullpen?

[AtWork]

Dunn's average against lefties is now .028.

[AtWork]

Woohoo!

 

2-0

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Nice shot Tek.

[BornToRun]

That was a nice pitch.

[SoxFanForsyth]

WTF is going on? Miller is dealing.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I hope Miller has finally just said "Screw it. I'm just going to throw. f*** mechanics, f*** everything, I'm just going to pitch".

[SoxFanForsyth]

Ells has to make that catch.

[Dojji]

Well, I'd have to say that that kind of attitude attitude has made him the pitcher he is today. Which is why the Sox need to work doubletime trying to make him some other type.

[Dojji]

Just pound the middle of the strike zone kid, and let your natural movement distribute the ball.

[Dojji]

Attaboy.

Well' date=' I'd have to say that that kind of attitude attitude has made him the pitcher he is today. Which is why the Sox need to work doubletime trying to make him some other type.[/quote']

 

What I'm saying is that he needs to just go out there and pitch. He's got all the talent. Just get on the mound and stop thinking and just pitch. Concentrate on the mechanics in your sides, but don't get out there and be thinking "Get your balance, drive your glove arm, keep your shoulder in, keep your pace", he's going to get torched. He needs to just go out there, catch the ball, throw the ball. Stop thinking.

[Dojji]

He's gotta get reps with his new mechanics. Once he gets 'em down and they're automatic, then he needs to forget that he ever had a shoulder and just throw. Until you've broken some of the bad habits, though, there's no alternative to him being out there thinking about his pitches on the mound.

Definitely, I agree with this. But you can't think too much on the mound, that's all I'm saying.

[Dojji]

Well if you can, that's what he's doing right now. Giving up a base hit to Dunn was borderline inexcusable.

[BornToRun]

Miller deserves to have his balls chopped off.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Same with Rios.

[Dojji]

A 3-2 change with a runner at third. Yep. This kid isn't pitching with confidence out there, that's a huge red light.

[Dojji]

Well he got out with a tie, coulda been a lot worse.

[Jasonbay44]

We need to trade for a damn starter, there is no way we can keep sending Miller out there.

[AtWork]

I hate Miller.

[Dojji]

I will say this. I'd rather see Miller miss in the zone than out of it. At least singles are a contact play and give the defense a chance to save him. He's doing much better on the whole this time out, it's just that the Chisox are catching up to the one or two too many get-me-overs that he's putting himself in a position to need to throw.
