Well, it's great to be out here at Dodger Stadium with our guy Bobby Miller, who is going to start the series in Philadelphia. Justin Robleski gets the start today, Bobby, So this is an interesting day for you and the team to see what he has. Yeah, I'm excited for him. Man. He's been he's been killing it in the minor leagues right now, and and he obviously deserves his shot. He's he's been working really hard.
So I've met him. I've met him a few times before, and he's really good dude, and I know he's got really good stuff, and he's got the stuff to compete in the major leagues. And I guess you let me know that he has the good luck number because he's wearing your old number, number seventy when you made your major league debut. That's right, that's a that's a pretty good number. Obviously not mine anymore, but I like
it. If you were to give him a piece of advice in a major league debut, what would it be, I would say, just trust your stuff, don't think about the major league stadium or the fans or anything like that. It's really just the same game, you know, That's the best advice I could give is a trust the guy behind the plate. Will I'm pretty sure he's catching today. He's a really good catcher. Trusts the guy behind the play. Trust your stuff. Just know that your stuff is gonna
play. You know, like whatever got you here, just just keep doing that and and stick with your strengths. It feels like you're a seasoned veteran now with all these young guys around you. I mean, I would have to say after Glass now and uh Kershaw, Bobby Miller maybe has more major league time after James Paxton. Oh No, I'm still I'm still a young guy. I'm still a young guy. I'm still a student of the game
as always. So yeah, there, there's there's a lot of guys to look up to on the seam, and a lot of guys you can pick brains and and yeah, who do you pick the brain of? Most? I try to I try to get Kershaut here and there. Yeah, but uh no, I talked to Glass a lot. He's a really good guy, another tall guy with a good velocity, a good breaking ball. So I try to pick his brain a lot. When he's making a start ahead of you and you're facing the same team, you take notes. Oh,
yeah, for sure. But he's also got a little bit of different stuff than me obviously, like different release, high, different extension, a little bit of a different breaking ball. So but yeah, I definitely take notes. I watch every pitch he throws, so I try to take notes on him. Speaking of Clayton Kershaw, you were hanging over the dugout reeling watching him throw a simulated game today. What did you see from him today that you could share? I thought it was good. It all depends on what
you ask him. At the same time, you know, no matter how he looks out here, like good or bad, you know he's always going to be ready when the lights turn on in the stadium. So there's never a worry about Clayton Kershaw. So yeah, no matter how it goes good or bad or whatever it is, he's always gonna be ready when when he pitches in a real game. So no worries or anything. And he looks great, so will Bobby Miller. You're going to be pitching again in a
playoff environment in Philadelphia. On Tuesday, we talked about your major league debut in Atlanta, similar type of atmosphere. How much are you feeding off that, thriving and looking forward to that. Ah. You know, I like to live up to these moments. I feel like I'm I'm born to pitching these moments, you know, the big games and stuff like that, and that's something I'm always living for and really excited for. And yeah, it's
a really it's a really good baseball team that we're facing. So I'm always looking to face the best competition available. Are you starting to feel like yourself again? Yeah? Yeah, I'm getting a lot of confidence back. Still wasn't like the best my stuff has been, but you know, I got away with it, so you know that's a big confidence builder. And uh,
just looking to find some consistency here. All right. Before I let you go, I just want to let you know that I got the stamp of approval from Mookie bets on Bobby Ice because you got the tattoo, you got the ice chain when you walk into the stadium on your start day. So Mookie loves the nickname. All right, all right, that's that's good to know. All right, but you still are lukewarm on it. I don't I don't mind it. I just don't call myself that. I'm me
so Yeah, you are a great guy, Bobby Miller. Easy guy to cheer for, Bobby, that's why the fans love you. And thanks a lot for your time and we'll see you in Philly. Appreciate it seeing Philly
