Bryce Miller sinks and swims, Mariners just sink, lose to A’s 4-2

Last year it felt at times like Bryce Miller was ferociously doggy paddling to keep up with MLB hitters who were at first bamboozled by his tricksy fastball before taking the galaxy brained approach of simply sitting heater, forcing Miller to make adjustments on the fly. Miller admirably adapted while neck-deep in the pressure cooker of starting MLB games, but this off-season he’s had the opportunity to tinker even more with his arsenal. It’s been well-publicized this spring that he’s added a splitter, but in today’s game against the A’s he heavily showcased an old friend, a sinker that he used to elicit a solid amount of weak contact.
