Miller's second rehab start a little rough, probably one more

The stat line doesn't look great for Miller, but it's how Miller feels and how his stuff plays that Seattle puts the most focus on. Gilbert allowed four earned runs in each of his last two rehab starts this season and Kirby had a 7.20 ERA on his rehab assignment.

In terms of Miller's arsenal, Thursday's outing was encouraging. The third-year pitcher's fastball stayed in the 94-97 mph range the entire game, averaged 95.9 mph, and topped out at 97.5 mph. He fanned three batters with his four-seamer, one with his sweeper and one with his splitter.

Brash is the man. Amazing swing by Cal.

Been calling for the Munoz and Brash flip flop. Maybe Dan will make the move after tonight. Brash is too good

Munoz is one of the best closers the game.
He has a 2.66 FIP .96 WHIP and 11.4 Ks per game

Brash has a 2.67 FIP 1.13 WHIP and a 10.2 K rate per 9

Demoting a closer with Munoz line for a guy with a worse line in the middle of a Playoffs race is absurd.

That's fine Evans has been pitching well.

Thanks for pointing that out, the munoz animosity is off the hook. I'm confident Dan has no intention of demoting his closer at this point in the season. The guy is a premier closer, I don't understand what the argument for it would be. It be disruptive, the team is finally on a roll. Let's create a controversy lol.

Munoz hasn't been a premier closer for the past month plus. He was during the 1st half. Hopefully he gets that back but as of right now he isn't very reliable.

I think with a closer it's less about those stats and more about nailing down saves. I'm guessing the proponents of Brash are thinking he's maybe a little less likely to blow a game.

Munoz is 26 for 32. Brash is 2 for 2.
