There is no tougher-luck pitcher in baseball than Shelby Miller – NBCSports.com
At the outset let us note that the Braves suck so bad things are just going to cascade from there. That said, Braves starter Shelby Miller has had more bad luck cascade on him than he deserves this year.
Miller has lost his last 10 decisions. Those ten decisions have come in the course of 18 starts in which he has a 3.24 ERA. That’s not CY Young stuff to be sure, but it’s sure good enough to have at least notched a couple of wins, right? Fact is, he hasn’t notched a win since May 17. That and his previous win, May 5, both came in complete game shutouts. In other words, Shelby Miller has had to be almost perfect to win, and even then, hasn’t won in over three months.
Dude has deserved way, way better.
