There’s a brand new buzz across the Dodgers proper now, because of the current MLB debuts of prime pitching prospects Gavin Stone and Bobby Miller. Whereas Stone has battled in his first two begins — exhibiting some good and a few unhealthy — on Tuesday, Miller was completely dominant in his debut.
Miller went 5 innings, permitting only one run whereas putting out 5. He made it clear that he has the stuff to not solely pitch on the MLB degree, however pitch effectively in opposition to among the best lineups in baseball.
After Tuesday’s sport, Roberts confirmed that Miller can be making a minimum of another begin on the MLB degree. Nevertheless, he wouldn’t go any additional into the long run than that.
On Wednesday, Roberts was once more requested in regards to the future plans for Miller and Stone, and once more, tried his greatest to keep away from the query.
“Proper now with Bobby and Gavin, we all know Bobby will make one other begin,” Roberts mentioned. “Gavin’s received some runway as effectively. We’ll simply see begin to begin. I feel that’s most likely the most secure option to go.”
Clearly, you don’t count on Roberts to look too far into the long run, particularly with Julio Urias hoping to make a return subsequent weekend when the Yankees come to city. Nevertheless, the Dodgers are going to have the room for considered one of Stone or Miller with Dustin Could out till after the All-Star break, and with the best way Miller regarded on Tuesday, if he has an analogous begin on Monday in opposition to the Nationals, I don’t assume anybody will need to see him despatched again down.
These are clearly good issues to have for the Dodgers, who would a lot moderately have too many good choices within the rotation than be within the place they have been final week once they weren’t certain if they’d sufficient.
However the Dodgers are going to have some tough selections to make within the coming weeks, particularly if their pitching prospects proceed to shine on the highest degree.
