Ex: Bobby Miller

Dodgers Believe Bobby Miller Has Issues With His Delivery

“I'm a little shell-shocked right now,” manager Dave Roberts said. “Given what he's done, [we were] expecting him to continue to take steps forward and to see where we're at. He's working his tail off. It's not about the [will to] compete, which I really appreciate

The beginning of his 2024 campaign had a fair amount of optimism behind it, but Miller dealt with shoulder inflammation that kept him out for two months. In his return, he posted a 9.87 ERA in four starts, showing a clear lack of command and feel for his entire arsenal.

“I'm trying everything I can,” Miller said. “It's really tough

Soto and the World of Analytics

Juan Soto is not a fan of what Aaron Boone is now calling “The Aaron Judge Treatment.”

After Judge was intentionally walked three more times in Sunday's 4-3, 10-inning win over Toronto, Soto said he didn't like the strategy.

“It sucks because you want him at the plate,'' Soto said. “I'm doing my best to [get] him up and to see them pass him over really makes me mad. I don't like that. I want them to challenge him and see what he can really do.”

Soto acknowledged the strategy is “part of the game. They're trying to win, too, so you respect that.”
