Well just three days ago we were down 3-0 to Alabama and came back to win. It happens. We looked a lot more interested last night than we did against Air Force, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, or Arkansas-Little Rock. That MSU team is pretty good too.
I don't really get the criticism of John Miles. He isn't starting on the weekend over McClain, Houck, and Fairbanks. He is starting over a bunch of kids that haven't shown that they can consistently throw strikes. Unless you are going to start Schwaab, I think John is the best midweek option.

I kind of hit on it in the other thread. More potential upside with the youngsters. Plus, you're grooming them for next year. I guess I wouldn't have as much of a problem with Miles if TJ would just have a quicker hook with him. Once he's gotten through the lineup once, he ain't fooling anyone anymore.
De Oca, Rash and Dabney all have lower ERA's than Miles, despite their walks. I believe Rash and De Oca both have lower WP/Inning and lower HBP/Inning than Miles. The walks are an issue but they shown the ability in most occasions to pitch out of trouble. Let them work through it and maybe you'll have somebody for next year. And lord forbid they actually figure it out while out there on the mound and now you've got an unbelievable rotation because their upsides are night and day different.
