I've played with good golfers, in two-man scrambles, who were major long but wild off the tee.  That puts pressure on every other part of their game because they know they will eventually hit a couple of tee balls left or right into the next zip code.
But you put them in a scramble, where their wild drives are non-counters, and their game falls into place.
As an everyday SS, perhaps the glovey pressure (or is it wild-arm pressure) impacts the rest of his game.  It's possible.
But we may just be seeing a young player find his stride, regardless of where he plays.
I kind of like that explanation.

I think Miller just has a hard time forgetting and letting go of making a mistake... similar to a high handicap golfer who hits a bad drive, the high handicapper tries to pull off the miraculous shot time after time just trying to make up for the poor drive versus forgetting about it and playing the game.

Miller and LoMo have given us a lot to cheer about.  I hope that the two don't regress just as hard, like hot Smoak used to do.
 
Great article Doc.  Fine shtick this morning. 

Funny - when I made that post, it was a throw away comment. I was just struck that when Taylor was doing well in ST, Miller was also kicking butt. When Taylor went down, Miller seemed to go into a funk. Said funk didn't really lift until Taylor was back in the picture, when Miller goes on a POW rampage. I don't know if it's actually Taylor or the move to UT or even those few days off that he got but he's dialed in now like he wasn't three weeks ago.

They are my biggest worries, as well.  Not so much Bloomquist, as every team has a 25th guy who covers a bunch of roles and isn't expected to hit great.  I've begun to feel that Weeks' '14 statistics are outliers and have fooled us as to what he's got left in the tank.  Last season he hit .294 against RHP and .256 vs. LHP.  His vR numbers were fueled by a .420 BABIP and his vL numbers were driven by 18 xbase hits (7 homer) in 133 AB's.
In '12-'13 & '15 he hit .224, .201 and .091 vs RHP.  Vs. lefties in those three years he's had 20 xbase hits in 264 ABs, with 8 homers.
He won't hit .091 vs RHP all year....but his upside there is pretty limited, unless he sports (again) an Ichiro-like BABIP.  
He would be the first guy I let go.  If we could trade Ackley for something almost useful, I would do that first....but I'm not sure that option exists right now.

I took Moe's comment as Miller is worried and feels pressure about his defense / throws, and thus the added pressure causes a loss of focus and affects his whole game.
My comment is that if Miller is doing well, he will continue doing well - until he makes a mistake... and then the guilt of screwing up consumes his thoughts to the point where Miller is pressing to make a spectacular play with the bat, legs or glove... and these guilty thoughts take a lot of time to get over... like days. Once these guilty thoughts are gone though, then Miller can just normally concentrate and play the game at a high level again. Thus, if Miller could just forget about bad plays within an inning or so, Miller would stay productive... so yes variations on the same theme.

I'm not so sure about that. To my eye he seems to make a healthy percentage of the tough plays but his bad throws to 1B seem to happen on the routine plays. I think it may be exactly the opposite for Miller - I think he needs the pressure in order to perform well. Pressure from the difficult play; pressure for playing time...No real way to tell for sure, of course. If it's true, then he could be an October warrior. Assuming the M's are ever playing in October...
