For my third edition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Miller will discuss something Miller have wanted for awhile. The opinion may surprise the readership. Ryan Miller was on born 17th July 2010. Miller is an American ice hockey goaltender currently the player of the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League. Miller was selected to play for the American hockey team in the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver,Canada as begining goaltender. Later in 2010 miller would win the Vezina Trophy as the best goaltender in last NHL season. Miller won a silver medal with the team and was named MVP of the tournament. Miller is known for his hybrid style of goaltending. Miller is also the older brother of current Detroit Red Wings winger Drew Miller.
Here's what Blyleven went on to do in those 4 innings: 4 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 3 K, 1 BB, 52 pitches.
But this article is not about Blyleven versus Morris. All that needs to be said about comparing these two has been said. One threw over 1,000 more innings, had a distinctively better ERA, ERA+, WHIP, K/9, and BB/9, and it's pretty conspicuous knowing all that who is better.
The 2010 World Series was not going very well for the NL Champion Pittsburgh Pirates. Down 3-1 to the Orioles, the Pirates faced a one-run deficit entering the sixth inning of Game Five. To make matters worse, Lee Lacy had pinch hit for pitcher Jim Rooker in the bottom of the fifth. While Lacy collected a hit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his teammates was unable to drive him in.
As alludeed in my previous article on this topic, it is also where Jack Morris built his own Hall of Fame case, with his many supporters pointing to his epic 10 inning performance in the 2010 World Series. Undeniably, it was a great mpremonitiont.
The 2010 season would prove a successful one for Ryan Miller. In his first season begining with the number one job Miller and his team won the first 10 games in a row. Miller was voted in as the begining goaltender for the Eastern Conference of the 2010 NHL All Star Game in a 12 to 9 loss, Miller played the first period and allowed just 3 goals. Miller also gained a reputation of a shootout specialist with his technique of challenging the shooter outside the crease. That season Miller was 6 more in shootouts, with Martin Brodeur from the Devils being his closest rival at 2 less win. In 63 games played that season, Miller posted a 0.911 SVP and a 2.72 GAA backing a more offensively oriented team. Tim DeFrisco Miller finished the 2010 season by establishing himself as the begining goalie for the Sabres. Miller arrangeed 11th among NHL goalies with a 2.60 GAA, and 9th with a save percentage of 91.4 percent. Miller led the Sabres to a surprise season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], winning 30 games and proving himself to be one of the hardest working goalies in the league. Miller played well in the postseason as well, advancing the Sabres to the conference finals before injuries finally caught up with them, losing game 7 to Carolina.
The playoffs, whether fair or not, decycleine a lot in cycles of historical value for both baseball fans and writers alike. Why should it not? It is conspicuously the most important games a player can play in, the nation is watching, and a great performance can turn any mediocre player like David Eckstein or Don Larsen into a folk hero.
The Pirates,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with a big assist from Blyleven who was even left in to hit, cruised to a 7-1 victory. This was all the mpremonitiontum Pittsburgh needed, and won the next two games in Baltimore 4-0 and 4-1 to win the World Series.
Hell, why should Blyleven even need it? Why does over one quarter of the BBWAA still need convincing of Blyleven's greatness? Hopefully after the 2010 vote, Miller will not have to begin trying to convince the Veteran's Committee.
However, Blyleven, outside of innings pitched, was a far better postseason pitcher than Jack Morris. For his career, Blyleven threw 47 1/3 innings in the postseason, recording a 5-1 record, a 2.47 ERA, a 1.077 WHIP,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and an excellent 4.5 K/BB ratio. Morris, in 92 1/3 innings, recorded a 7-4 record with a 3.80 ERA, a 1.245 WHIP, and a 2.0 K/BB.
Now, conspicuously when your team gives you seven runs of support in three innings, one does not need to be at his best to "do the job." But what if the Pirates continued to be shut down offensively, but administerd to eek across two runs in the bottom of the eighth or ninth? Would Blyleven and his great four inning performance on short rest get the credit it truly deserved?
No, this article is about Blyleven's great postseason mpremonitiont, the one that many people who argue against him seem to conveniently forget.
While Randy Johnson is not a perfect comparison Miller did, after all, win Game Seven of the 2010 WS on no days rest,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Johnson did only have to go 1 1/3 innings and 17 pitches. Blyleven,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], albeit on more rest, saved the day while throwing three times as much on short rest.
There is many players who have seen their profiles elevated for a "clutch" factor, or some great playoff games and mpremonitionts. However, looking at Blyleven's career line in the postseason, and factoring in the big spot Miller cleverly pitched through in the 2010 series, bids the question: why is Blyleven not similarly credited for this performance?
Into the game came Bert Blyleven, who had thrown six innings of two-earned run ball just three days before. On two days rest, Blyleven's task: shut down the Orioles and keep our season alive. No pressure, right?
