This Week’s Contest
This photo comes from Bryce Miller’s first start after being moved to the bullpen at the end of the season. Remember that story line? Miller had pitched poorly and the Mariners front office dragged their feet for weeks
and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks — well not that many weeks but it felt like that many weeks — before eventually getting caught. After back-to-back Miller outings turned into combined 41-2 losses, the team finally agreed something was wrong and moved him to the bullpen. But by then it was too late, as the Mariners streak of flawless rotation health ended, with Emerson Hancock landing on the IL, meaning Miller had to move back to the rotation before making his first appearance as a reliever. In the outing, he pitched OK and was pulled early and the Mariners won.
Rules
- Respond to the photo with a caption, essay, drawing, counter image, math equation, or literally anything Coral allows you to post. It can be funny, poetic, or whatever the photo inspires in you.
- Unlimited entries, though be considerate.
- No politics, religion, generative AI, or anything that violates our community guidelines. Please don’t try to be clever and sneak it in. Please don’t put the burden of deciding whether the caption is against the rules on our mod team. If you think “ah but the people will love this specifically,” it’s best to appreciate your genius in your head and assume we all agree with you. This is meant to be moderately fun engagement bait, and the alternative is an impassioned defense of Dan Wilson’s bullpen management if we cannot handle it.
- Please read other comments and “rec” the ones you like. The comment that gets the most recs will be the winner. I will also choose a comment or two that speaks to me personally.
- The deadline for commenting and voting will be whenever I get around to doing the post for the week.
