2011 MLB Season Game Thread: July

Loria has him on speed dial.

[DropkickAlex]

Haha it's probably true. His response was great, I'll try to find a video.

[Branch]

I'm watching Andrew Miller pitch for the first time. What should I expect to see over the next 2.2 innings?

[MiamiHomer]

A lot of high counts.

[Branch]

He has already thrown 22 pitches and walked two in the bottom of the first. Lovin' it.
--------------------
And gives up a single to B.J. Upton. 1-0 TB. From what I've read, this is run of the mill?

[MiamiHomer]

Basically.

[Branch]

Bases loaded, no outs in the 2nd. 50 pitches now. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.
--------------------
Got an out, gave up a granny! When does Lester come off the DL?

[MiamiHomer]

Not soon enough.

[Branch]

Miller is done. 2.2 ip, 6 ER (so far). He left with the bases loaded and nearly gave up a 3 run jack to go with the GS before being pulled.
--------------------
Oh, and he walked five.

FIVE.

[MiamiHomer]

This shocks no one on this site.

[jOOj]

I still believe in Thriller!

( never really did )

[Branch]

This shocks no one on this site.

I know, it doesn't really surprise me in the sense that I constantly heard you guys talk about how shitty he was. But damn if it isn't painful to actually see.

[MiamiHomer]

Try adding the fact you traded Miguel Cabrera for him. All you moved was Dustin Richardson.

[Branch]

Does it feel worse than having John Lackey locked up for 3 more seasons @ 16 million per?

[MiamiHomer]

Considering the pay rolls, I'd say it feels worse on our end.
