Does anybody know if that was their Friday night guy we faced last night? Will we be facing their Saturday guy today? Is he a RHP or LHP?

So we'll have Jake and Rowdey hitting from the right side. We'll DH who? Halter?

How have we fared vs LHP's vs RHP's this year?

Miller has a funky arm action & typically doesn't throw strikes. Has good stuff though

Sounds like the key will be staying patient and not chasing

Stanford coach says it's all hands on deck to survive. Miller is usually the #3, but starting today. He's a St Louis kid, hopefully is distracted by the blues in the NHL final.

Left handed that has always been highly regarded and was drafted pretty high, 4th Round. MLB said:

Miller was a known pitching prospect coming out of De Smet Jesuit High School in Missouri, but went undrafted in 2016, largely because of his strong commitment to Stanford. He's been in the Cardinal's rotation for nearly all of his three years in school, pitching midweek as a freshman and then on the weekend the last two seasons. He's performed well as a junior, helping to erase a subpar Cape Cod League performance, though scouts aren't sure what his future role might be. From a size and pure stuff standpoint, Miller checks off the boxes. The 6-foot-5, 240-pound southpaw has the chance to have three pitches at his disposal. His fastball touches 96-97 mph at times, and his velocity has crept upwards this spring after starting the spring at 88-92 mph. He complements the heater well with a slider that's plus at times and he'll flash an above-average changeup as well. Miller has struggled with command, with a stiff front side that has kept him from finding the strike zone consistently enough. Pure stuff-wise, Miller could be put side-by-side, if not ahead of, some of the college lefties ahead of him on Draft boards. His command and delivery issues have led some evaluators to see a future in the bullpen, where his fastball-slider combination from the left side could lead to a Josh Hader-like role in the future.

I just hope we wrap this up tonight for the sake of my mental health.
