When Miner immediately pissed himself and barely survived the sixth, it should have been a no brainer to turn to someone else in the seventh. Miner's the kind of guy who either is on, or he's a total gas can. We got the gas can last night and it was clear pretty much the instant he walked out of the pen. He should not have seen the 7th, period. That was the bad call by Leyland in my view.

I agree with this 100%. I thought I was imagining it, but when he stepped on the mound he looked scared. I'm glad someone else saw it to.
