If there was any reaction to the Brewers signing Wade Miley to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training, it was most likely to be, “ugh, fine, whatever I guess.”
It wasn’t an inspiring add, but the Brewers were confident they found something they could fix in the veteran. So far, the early results this spring have been encouraging.
Miley followed up a 2-inning scoreless debut on Sunday with an even more impressive 2.1-inning outing to start Thursday’s game. Once again, he didn’t walk anyone, threw 32 of 49 pitches for strikes, allowed just 2 hits (one of them an infield single on a high chopper over the middle) and struck out 5 batters.
