He had truly one of the worst — if not the absolute worst — pitching lines I’ve ever seen. Let me describe it: seven hits, two walks, eight runs (all earned), all over 1/3 inning. Yes, Jason Miller managed to give up eight runs while getting only one out. His ERA for the outing was 216. 216!
Sad part is the outing ruined what was going as a good season for the rookie; he hadn’t given up a run in three prior appearances. So much for that. And let me tell you, I couldn’t be happier. Last night was the most delighted I’ve been as an Angels fan since 2004. 16 runs, 23 hits, and everybody in the lineup delivered. I was literally wetting myself. That’s what the Angels have been missing since letting Glaus, Guillen, and Molina go (no complaints about Guillen). I hope this offensive outburst only continues for the rest of the season.
