09/09 CUBS (Miller) @ Atlanta (James) 6:05 CT, CSN, XM185

[RichHillIsABeast]

OK. Miller is getting shelled.

Just as expected.

 

First start since August 05. Give him some time.

 

I know. It'll be quite some time before he is all the way back, like 1-2 years. It's a good thing our games don't mean much right now.

If we could have seen more of this Juan Pierre, he'd be wonderful. 2 hits, 2 steals (with 3rd base taken as well once). Also, 2 more things that won't show up-as the Atlanta announcers have speculated, if Pierre is not trying to steal 3rd earlier, there is no way that the Theriot ball is a hit-because Giles plays it on a hop. Giles went for the dive hoping to double Pierre up, and it gave Theriot the hit. Also, Pierre was the only player who could have gotten home on that SF by Ramirez.

So again, just a great game by Pierre so far.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Hey Fred. Could you do the P/PA, OBP, OPS, etc breakdown for the two teams so far? Thanks! :D

[Mephistopheles]

for someone who could watch the game, how soft was Miller throwing the rock.

[Master Shake]

Its been a while since I've been on... Only to return to this mess.

 

 

I think its highly possible that the Cubs will not win another game this year.

He threw a nasty hook at 76mph. That was the only pitch I seen him throw.

I didn't get to see many of his pitches, but I saw him hit 89 on the gun on the Atlanta broadcast once or twice-have really divided attention though, so don't know if that was normal, high, or low for him though.

His velocity will increase when he gets his arm speed back.

Thx Fred.

 

 

I saw Miller in the 87-90 range with the fastball. The arm strength just isn't there yet. He's not a finesse pitcher and it shows when he can't go up with the fastball.
