and was must-watch whenever he came into a game. can’t say the same about Raisel.
41% K rate is crazy and was must watch TV when he entered the game.
Miller also missed a chunk of time
Miller throws it harder, which I have been told means he’s better.
The Reaper is a fun watch, I had an alert whenever he was coming to pitch and I was always tuned in.
Don’t get me wrong: EOY Awards should not be dictated by xStats. They’re meant to reward results. But the crazy thing with Mason Miller is his xERA was 1.77!
This is no contest. Raisel was better this year. When he came in the game, it wasn’t a question of whether he would get the save or not. It was can he do it in under 10 pitches. He had a scoreless inning streak this year of something like 30 innings.
Miller was fucking awesome. Can’t imagine complaining about that
All of the reasons people are obsessed with Miller are the same reasons people are obsessed with Strider. We can’t have it both ways.
Raise Hell Iglesias is a guaranteed save.
With Baseball its sometimes more about storytelling than what actually happens on the field, Iglesias was a better pitcher, but Miller was the better story so he got the recognition, been happening in Baseball for 100 years from regular awards to who makes the Hall of Fame.
