No doubt. Kid is locked in. And he's a rookie. But remember......."nothing to be amazed about"
Except for there is PLENTY to be impressed with.

It's too bad the organization is so cheap that we'll likely have to trade those guys for bats, because they wouldn't sign one as a free agent...I wonder who scouts up the pitchers for the M's to draft?
The pipeline is sending in serious talent and it's not going to
end with Miller..Dollard,Woo and Hancock are not far off.
I didn't like giving up what we did for Castillo.It's too bad the organization is so cheap that we'll likely have to trade those guys for bats, because they wouldn't sign one as a free agent...
At least Castillo is an Ace though. I'm more disappointed that they sent prospects for chances on guys like Winker and Frazier (again being cheap)... And now they're backing themselves into a corner to have to do it again.I didn't like giving up what we did for Castillo.
I agree we won the trade..Love Castillo,I just wish we hadn't gave up Marte.Nah, we won that trade. Haven't given it a second thought. Castillo is one of the best pitchers in baseball.
Kirby is starting to look like a reliable #2 pitcher.Kirby is more like a 2 in my book but each to their own..
I can't stand Flex either,I don't know what happened to the guy of 2 yrs ago.
I'm impressed..The Mariners pitching development has the wheels turning outNow the kid is making MLB History.
First 3 Bryce Miller starts:
19 innings, 64 batters faced, 8 baserunners, 1 run
No starter in MLB history has ever allowed only 8 total baserunners in their first 3 starts

I get the concern but our pitchers have years of control yet and there is theHate to poop on the parade but all I'm saying is this is an even bigger reason now for ownership to spend. You have seriously good starting pitching. In fact besides TB, M's have the best starter ERA. Remember in 2014 they led the league in ERA and missed the playoffs? Please not again. This is torture.
There's a few they missed out on. Dude with Miami, dude with Boston. I'm not sure who's a FA after this year. I know Teoscar is. They'll have to decide if they want to resign him or not. Scott sent 3 guys to the plate today who are batting in the .100s. Bad players, bad coaching, it's both. Dipoto is gonna have to do something by the trade deadline or the next off season. Probably would have to beg ownership to spend a little. If they don't spend or trade there's not a whole lot in the farm right now offensively speaking.I get the concern but our pitchers have years of control yet and there is the
rental deadline for a hitter or two..
I know people want to spend on a big name FA but how many are doing great this
year?I mean really look into it and tell me.
The Ohtani speculation is rumors fanned by the M’s ownership/FO thru the M’s flagship station to get the fans off their backs for this off-season FA failure after they promised to make big waves for years.I think the naysayers are going to be surprised as they get this year's batting order straightened out.
I believe Trae Turner didn't want to play on the west coast, family or something, and a couple of other batters weren't interested in playing in T-Mobile park because it would drop their stats.
Now some of those high dollar batters aren't doing so well.
I think this "owner is cheap and should have brought in batters" story line is going to die an ugly death as this team starts to hit.
Remember, we are paying Julio and Luis Castillo, we have to reserve money for players like JK, and Cal Raleigh, and I heard someone on 710 speculate that they may take a shot at Shohei Ohtani.
