2011 NLDS MVP: Miami v. San Francisco
The 2011 Stroh's NLDS MVP Award goes to....
SP JOHN MILLS, MIA. Round of Applause!!!
The Miami/SF series was much more about pitching than the other series' and John Mills put up two spectacular outings for the Banditos. In Game 1 John Mills faced Karl "Vandal" Beatty and held SF hitless in the first 4 innings and scoreless until the 7th. It was then that Mills made one crucial error which cost him and Miami the game. Woodrow Dobson was able to turn on a pitch and make it a 2-0 game that Miami would not be able to come back from. Mills ended up going 8.0 IP allowing only 4 hits and 1 BB. Mills struck out 12 SeaWolves setting the NL Playoff record! Mills would get his redemption in Game 5 when he pitched 8.1 innings, giving up only 3 hits and 2 ER with another 9 K's. Mills scored the W when Miami won 7-2 and went on to win the series 4-2. Mills 2 start performance was a demonstration in excellence, and Stroh's would like to make sure that John has an unlimited supply of Stroh's this offseason in Arkansas.
