With the Dodgers in need of a big pitching performance on Monday against Arizona in the NLDS, they will ask Miller to continue his stellar season.
Dave Roberts delivered the initial message. Lance Lynn made sure to hammer it home. After watching an amped-up, and at times over-hyped, Bobby Miller navigate a laborious four-inning start in San Diego in early August, both Roberts, the Dodgers' manager, and Lynn, their veteran trade-deadline acquisition, came to the same conclusion about the team’s rookie star. Miller had the stuff to be a viable postseason starter.
“He’s gonna go out there and compete. And I’m sure he felt like he had more in the tank, which he should. … It was still a good outing for Bobby, but I still feel like there’s some growth in there.” Lynn, who had been traded to the Dodgers only days earlier and was watching Miller pitch for the first time, agreed. A fiery mound presence in his own right, the 12-year veteran reinforced Roberts’ message by emphasizing to Miller the importance of emotional control.
