The biggest surprise to me from Thursday night's game was that when Miller was pulled, B. Beck did not come in - or come in at all.
Now that may simply not be something Esquer plans to do - Beck has only come on in relief of Miller twice this year (2.2 innings in game 3 vs Arizona and 3.0 innings vs USF). Still, there aren't any more midweek games to save Beck for, and he would certainly seem to be a top candidate for long relief if he isn't going to be a starter.
Anyone think they have insight?
[One thought - Esquer wanted a lefty as UW had four(?) hitters from the left side. That could be why Miller got the start in the first place.]
