The Indians [would] use [the hypothetically healthy] Miller in the bullpen. [Such a creature would be] considered one of the favorites for the last open spot in the pen. The Indians [have always assumed that Miller would be going down with an injury] and haven’t changed their opinion based on the situation with his finger.

“I saw it yesterday [and holy ****. If you want to share my pain, put ‘finger injury’ into google images. That finger was not built to throw a baseball.] I saw it today,” manager Eric Wedge said after the Indians defeated the Rockies, 6-4, at Goodyear Ballpark. “It [pretty much had to look] a lot better.”

Wedge added that Miller told pitching coach Carl Willis [,rather than supposed mentor Kerry Wood, who is staying far away from Miller, that] the finger felt better [after a day of doing nothing more than dealing cards.]

The Indians [were able to catch] the problem [because Miller’s finger has been jacked up for a while now.] Wedge [has a plan for dealing with the] “here we go again” thoughts [that] popped into his head when he learned Miller was experiencing soreness.

“[We choose to pretend that] it shouldn’t be a problem.” he said.
