If Miller starts I will not watch anymore.

Shelby Miller... him getting healthy might ruin our season.

 

[Dback Jon]

Our vaunted Defense is crap

 

[Shaggy]

He's at 34 pitches already, in the 1st inning!

Indeed. Should have stayed on the DL - til November.

 

[Azlen]

Clay Buchholz should be ready after the All Star break I would think. He needs to be back in the rotation and Miller should be done.

Miller will still be the starter some how.

 

[Phrazbit]

Could we just spot them like... 4 or 5 runs in exchange for them not hitting until the 5th inning?

 

[GatorAZ]

They can't - if they want to make the playoffs.


One of the Worst Trades in Dbacks history.

Probably not even the worst with the Braves. Granted Miller is awful but he was a legit #2-3 before he came here. The Diamondbacks overpaid for Miller but the Touki Toussaint trade was a straight cash dump of Bronson Arroyo’s contract. Toussaint has been dominating the minors this year and may get called up in September. 21 years old with no injury history.

Go from one bad pitcher right into another.

We gave up Inciarte and Swanson for Miller.

But the Touissant trade could be worse. Can't judge that until he actually pitches in the MLB.

The Stewart Years were awful

 

[BC867]

Oh geez. De La Rosa -- based loaded and no one out.

This might be a 20 run nights for the Rockies.

And it looks like Goldy just gave up on a pop up that landed on the field in foul territory. Uh oh!

Rockies gonna score 30 on us

Interesting that Miller didn't come out for the 2nd inning. Particularly when our pen has been gassed as of late (we haven't had a starter pitch 5 innings in forever!).
Gotta wonder what the thinking is here... Is he hurt again??

Bert commented on that. He inferred it was in Miller's best interest psychologically rather than physically to get him out of there. It makes sense.

 

[az jam]

Keeping Miller as a starter was a big mistake. Put him in the bullpen or drop him and eat his salary. The trade for him was a disaster. We are in a pennant race and can't afford to continue starting him.

Maybe... if that's the case, I see that as being just as bad as being physically injured. If Miller isn't mentally tough enough to get his ass back out there and try it again, or, if Torey doesn't think he's mentally tough enough... he's toast!

 

[Dback Jon]

8-1

 

[Dback Jon]

9-1 with a balk

 

[82CardsGrad]

9-1 with a balk

That wasn't a balk. Batter can't cause a balk... These umps are putrid!

 

[BC867]

Now 9-1 and the home plate ump is in the Rockies corner. The batter stepped out, De La Rosa stopped his delivery and a balk was called, sending in a run. Per Bert, the rule is that it is not a balk if the batter initiates it. And Jorge threw over 40 pitches in the 2nd inning.

And not challengable?

I am going to go sit in my rocker-recliner and stop posting for awhile. You'll probably hear my cursing across the Valley.
