couldn't believe when read the pitching rotation for this weekend, 1. Waldron 2. Tillotson-Colorado Player of the year last year 3. BEN FLIPPING MILLER!!!!!!! 4. Jake Meyers.

1-2 and 4 are understandable but you're telling me BEN MILLER is one of the four best we have got!!!!

youre telling me any of Burkamper, Mcsteen, Engelken, or Eddins. NONE of them are better or have improved enough to pass up BEN MILLER!!!

maybe I'm blowing this way out of proportion, but my lord i feel like we have to have better than this.

Burkamper, McSteen, Fisher are all coming off injury, no need to push the envelope. And it's a 4 game series. Like as was already stated, he is just the first guy that'll be out there in a full bullpen rotation day. Have some faith.

The rotation in the middle/end of the year will look a lot different than it does right now. I agree with you in that there is no reason to push a guy coming off an injury. SeaofRed needs to step off the ledge.

Couple things to help you feel better:

1. Meyers isn't pitching until Sunday so that he can play CF in the first 3 games. Can't have him in the outfield throwing right after he has pitched.

2. The forecast is calling for rain Saturday, so Erstad lined up his top 2 remaining starting pitchers (knowing Burkamper can't start/Meyers pitches Sunday) for tomorrow's double-header. IF they play game 3 on Saturday, I'm sure we're going to see Johnny All-Staff eat up those innings. Miller is just the first reliever who will start the game on the mound.

just don't like it fellas, if we don't have 4 starters to start the season theres a problem. the problem is the fact that we have to johnny all staff. all this means to me is the talent is still not there.

Miller was a top-50 left-handed pitcher coming out of HS.

 
Keep in mind last season we started Howell/King/Engelken as our opening weekend starters, so a lot can change by the time conference play begins. It takes time for everyone's roles to be defined within the rotation/bullpen.
