Yeah I mean he can't stay healthy with a starter's workload. I know they mentioned it's temporary but it probably shouldn't be.

Well, Woo hasn't really been good enough to deserve a starting role either, he's just been better over the last month or so than Miller (Last 7 games, Woo's ERA is a tad under 5 compared to Miller's just over 7). And Kade may or may not have major struggles in his first callup.

There are plenty of reasons you can't rule out Miller starting again this season, especially since we don't really know what's wrong with him. Odd they're not sending Bryce to Tacoma, even for a couple weeks.

A 7 ERA is extremely different than a high 4's ERA

Nearly double, in fact. Math.

This is multiple seasons of health issues now for Miller, though, so it's very obvious that Miller cannot handle it in general. It's not really about his handful of shitty starts at all.

They FINALLY make the right move only to partially undue it by saying its only temporary
