2013 Fantasy Baseball Rookie Report, Week 7: Miller vs. Ryu for Rookie of the Year
Two clear front-runners for the National League Rookie of the Year award have emerged through the first quarter of the season, St. Louis’s Shelby Miller and the Dodgers’ Hyun-Jin Ryu. Both started the season well. Ryu has had a couple rough outings and bounced back from them, and Miller has been dominant in every start except two where he failed to get out of the sixth inning...
The Fab Five: MLB Power Rankings
Welcome to the first edition of the Fab Five: MLB Power Rankings. Realizing that most of the other websites or publications are into their sixth or seventh week of their power rankings, I have always felt that these rankings are most accurate when done after every team has gotten at least 30 games on the books.
Shelby Miller quickly becoming another ace for the Cardinals
Although I live in the Chicago area and rarely get to see the Cardinals play live, you do not have to watch a game to know when a pitcher utterly dominates a team, which is just what Shelby Miller did on Friday night.
Against a pretty good hitting Rockies team (2nd in the NL in runs scored), Miller gave up a leadoff hit in the first, then proceeded to retire the next 27 batters...
Shelby Miller makes early case for National League Rookie of the Year
The St. Louis Cardinals knew rookie right-handed starting pitcher Shelby Miller had talent since they drafted him No. 19 overall in the 2009 draft, but others in baseball questioned if the Houston-native’s maturity level would allow him to succeed at the sport’s highest level.

Shelby Miller Tossed a Perfect Game Last Night…Sort Of
Last night, St. Louis Cardinal rookie phenom, Shelby Miller, recorded 27 straight outs without a runner reaching base. Perfect, right? Not so much. Eric Young, Jr. led off the game with a single on a 3-1 count, which seemed like nothing at the time. Then, everyone started getting out. According to Baseball Reference, only 18 pitchers have had a higher Game Score than Miller’s...

Twenty-seven up, twenty-seven down. The definition of a perfect game. Unfortunately, if a leadoff single preceded the 27 outs, the record books won’t record it.
Shelby Miller of the St. Louis Cardinals gave up a clean single to Eric Young Jr. (nobody in the crowd even batted an eyelash at the time), then did...
Cardinals' Miller one-hits Rockies
Shelby Miller gave up a leadoff single then retired 27 in a row for his first career complete game, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 3-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
Eric Young Jr. had a line drive hit to right field to start the game for the Rockies but Miller (5-2) gave up nothing else in his first shutout. The right-hander struck out Young to end it with his 13th K...
