Someone buy Jason Miller a shot

Lefthander Jason Miller looked somewhat promising in his first couple appearances out of the Twins bullpen.
In fact, with Dennys Reyes pitching so shitty before his injury, Dick and Bert openly talked about the Twins having a tough decision to make once Reyes comes back (which is expected to be soon).

Minutes later, Miller would be headed to the showers after a JD Durbin-esque performance.
The line: 1/3 IP, 7 hits, 8 earned runs, 2 homers.
That raised his ERA from 0.00 to 18.00.
It didn't matter, and thankfully Gardy was kind enough to put him out of his misery and remove him, where a lot of managers probably would've made him stay in, considering the score was 16-1 by then.
It's probably now a safe bet that when Reyes comes back, Carmen Cali will stay, and Miller will head back.
Having said that, this was just one outing. Miller still looks like a guy who might have a future.
It's just too bad the poor guy had to endure a night like this.

*A rough outing for Boof that could've been worse. Were it not for the cannon right arm of Michael Cuddyer, his line of 6 runs in 5.1 innings could've been, um, like I said, worse.
Boof had talked last week about pitching more to contact and not working as many deep counts, the idea being that would allow him to stay in games longer.
But this start should've been evidence of what a bad idea that is. Boof is a strikeout pitcher, and there's nothing wrong with that. When you 'pitch to contact' (a stupid phrase that makes as much sense as 'clogging up the bases'), you give up more hits. Period. The goal is to miss bats.
Boof has had a tendency to walk quite a few hitters, and if he's going to be giving up a bunch of hits and not striking anyone out, that's a recipe for disaster.
