I know this is against the Padres, but regardless, this is what he's been doing in AAA all year as well. I'm not saying he's our ace this year, but he's dealing against the Padres exactly how you would want a guy to deal against the Padres.
Miller - 72 pitches through 5 IP, just over 14 pitches per inning. Could get through 7 if he continues. 72 pitches, 48 strikes, 67% strikes. A far cry from his 49.3% career strike%
Miller really starting to settle in now. Given, it's against a sub-par offensive team, but he's handling them just like he should. Take away some of this jitters in his first couple innings, and he's throwing really well.
Anyone hear the WEEI interview today on Mut and Merloni talking with Gonzo? He said he would play RF so that Ortiz could play 1B and keep his bat in the line up.
That first inning when we let leblanc off the hook could hurt. Just a completely s***** at bat by Darnell. Completely terrible. He needs to make up for that.
