It is supposed to be Miller as the opener.  Maybe Bello has a bulk RP?

[dannycater]

would love to see Bello actually start and go long and not be bad as a SP. As good as he has been as long reliever, this is a good time for him to get an occasional start to really help out.

And today's excuse for starting Mendoza-line hitters instead of Masa is what?

[Bailey_Fox]

Well this started well…

[FredLynn]

Ugly start 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Could've been worse.

[Bailey_Fox]

Can we please send Sogard back to Worcester? He’s the most generic player I’ve ever seen. I’d rather have Seigler than that guy

[Deja Doh]

I don't get starting Miller for 1 inning.  He hasn't started since 2024.  He's become a legit closer.  Why F around with that?  Are they trying to boost and justify the Bello contract?
