The Dodgers designated Ramon Ortiz for assignment to had to make room for Justin Miller, according to Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times (via Twitter). The 37-year-old Ortiz appeared in 16 games since the Dodgers signed him in March. He posted a 6.30 ERA with 6.3 K/9 and 4.8 BB/9.
Miller, 32, has yet to appear in the majors this year, but was pitching well at Triple A Albuquerque. He has posted a 2.22 ERA in 18 games with more strikeouts than innings pitched and a respectable rate of 3.0 BB/9.
Good things come to those who patiently wait (Dodger fans).
Out goes one washed up pitcher, in comes anopther. The latest find from the scrap heap. It is a shame the Dodgers are close to going deep in the post season, but the McCourts have spent 20 million so far on legal fees regarding there divorce and nothing on adding a quality arm.
Kinda excited to see Miller throw 99 percent sliders. Joe Torre and a excessive amount of breaking balls? Hmmm
oh halleluah….mike scioscia’s tragic illness is poppin a boner as we speak.
Thank God

You have a typo there Ben.
Alright, now we’re two more releases away (Haeger and Miller) from cleansing our team of useless pitchers. =)
