Miller in to close with a two run lead, two days after giving up four runs and getting no outs. Cross your fingers!

 

[kalinecountry]

f'n Harris should have traded Miller too. what a bowel brain.

 

[nydo77]

Well, that didn't go as planned. Royals up 3-2.

 

[biggunsbob]

Middle of the plate on a 0-2 pitch according to Dickerson.
Single

I just don't get that pitch.

Lmao AJ is so stupid. Miller should been Yanked after that last batter hit that long foul.
Miller just always throws a get me over pitch on his first pitch.
He wasn't fooling anyone.

7 homers in 40 innings . Miller is terrible. Bullpen is just garbage except a few.

 

[jas5lf]

Wow...Miller is trash.

 

[nydo77]

Now he brings in Foley.....

 

[gotime909]

Madris has reached base in 5 of his last 6 plate appearances. AJ has pinch hit for him TWICE in that span.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Hmm. Miller the blow fish.

 

[biggunsbob]

Miller so telegraphs his pitches.
Especially his 1st pitch. Or any early pitch. Other teams scout us AJ you dummy.
Miller does it every time he pitches practically.

Thanks AJ for using the same guy who couldn't get a out Friday. Another frustrating loss.

 

[nydo77]

I guess this is what we get when we have a lineup that can't produce runs, and not enough starting pitchers, so limited bullpen choices. Foley pitched two innings yesterday, and the other choices wouldn't have been reliable.

 

[biggunsbob]

I thought for sure he would bring in Foley after that long foul fly the batter before the homer. AJ always over manages so what was different today ? We could tell Miller was trash even if he did get 2 outs.

This pen gives up so many homers.. at least Foley tries to pitch down .

I agree it's frustrating but not as bad as it would have been had the team been in contention. Shame though to see a good pitching effort wasted by this scrub.

Tork with another homer and double for toledo

True but he had to bring him foley anyway for 1 out. After the long foul that was hit Foley should have been brought in. Don't care that Miller got the 2nd out. He hasn't been good this weekend. Now AJ tries to get a player's confidence back. I just don't get his moves sometimes. Foley isn't that much better but at least like I said he tries to keep the ball low .
