We’re going to end up scoring, like, four runs. Why can’t we score that many when our starter pitches halfway decently?

I look at it this way...
as long as miles isn’t a part of a double switch…he can’t bat in the 9th inning when we comeback to win the game.

How bad is Miles
His WARP (wins above replacement player) is negative! He’s actually cost the Cubs 0.7 wins versus having a Triple A scrub on the roster.
