Miller is awful

[CubColtPacer]

I'm going to the Game this Saturday in STL...could someone please tell me I don't have to see Miller and an assured loss...

 

The likelihood is that whoever is the 5th starter will get skipped because of the off day on Thursday. You will likely see Zambrano.

He'll (miller) be skipped for sure...

Floyd's a better hitter than Murton when healthy, certainly he's more of a threat. He should get more playing time than Murton. And Miller will get more than one more start for the Cubs. We may as well get used to seeing him for a while, especially given how Guzman pitched at Iowa in his first start.

I would go by what he did in the majors than what he did in his one start in AAA.

You might be right. Maybe we should just throw him into the rotation. But I doubt that will happen, Miller will get more opportunity to right the ship. Miller isn't the reason they are losing. He's just one piece of the machine. I think he should get more time.

Miller has a 10.54 ERA and a 2.20 WHIP. It's pretty tough to win games when you know you have to score 7-8 runs a game to even have a chance. He needs to go immediately.

You've got to be kidding me. What possible justification can you give for wanting or thinking that Wade Miller not only deserves another start, but will show improvement?

 

He's terrible. He's done. He's not the pitcher he used to be, and people need to accept that. If he starts another game, it will be another loss. This team is not good enough to have a guaranteed disaster start pitching every fifth day.

 

It's this mentality that has contributed heavily to 99 years of losing.

That would be MUCH better.

Yeah, I don't understand it either. It's not like Miller's just rusty or something. He's lost a full 10 MPH off his fastball, and his entire success was based on a 97 MPH fastball.

 

It's not like with Dempster, where he was a slider pitcher so you knew if he could get that pitch back, he'd have a chance to be effective again.

 

With Miller -- this guy was a fireballer. That's how he learned to dominate. I see very little, if any, reason to believe a fireballer is going to learn how to be a finesse guy with an 87 MPH fastball and a couple other, average pitches.

 

I think it's clear he's finished.

Trade Miller.

 

Trade Zambrano.

 

Trade Eyre.
