So, predict MIller's pitching line in his next start:
4.1 IP, 6 H, 4 BB, 7 R, 7 ER, 1 K, Loss
The Marlins fans were thrilled to get Mark Wiley back as pitching coach. He is the one who nearly brought Willis a Cy Young, and really turned Beckett into a pitcher. Everyone knew Wiley was good, but now everyone is thinking there in an extra "o" in that adjective.
Coming into tonight, in the last cycle through the rotation, they all averaged getting into the 7th and had a combined 1.76 ERA (Badenhop was the worst at 3.17 ERA). Miller's last outing, he went 6.0 IP and 4-hit the Padres allowing 2 ER. In his last 5 starts, his ERA has been 4.68.
On the 7th Day, God created Mark Wiley, and he said, "That is good."-- Jonnylons
