Like the rest of Mets world, I am still recovering from last night. The highs and lows of rooting for the mets are incredible. Anyway, Andrew Miller makes his Marlins debut tonight. He was one of the main pieces of the trade that sent Miguel Cabrera and the Dtrain over to Detroit. Miller has been a highly touted prospect, but so far over his first two major league seasons has struggled (with moments of brightness).
Miller last year started against the Mets where he lasted 5.1 innings with a 6.75 ERA, 5 H, 4 ER, HR, 3 BB and 5 K. Over his career, he is 5-6 over 21 G and 74.3 IP posting a 5.69 ERA.
Oliver's Twist will be the main show tonight. Will we get Mr. Oliver Perez who struck out over 230 batters one season or Dr. Perez who went 3-13 with an ERA above 6? Well we will find out tonight. Last year, Perez had 4 games vs the Marlins where he had a 2-1 record, 4 G, 22.1 IP, a 4.84 EA, 9 BB, and 26 K's.
As nice as sweeps are, they are tough. Lets get the series tonight and then go to Atlanta and take 2 of 3 there. Goal: a 4-2 record for the home opener vs Philly. Lets go Mets.
On another note, Mets AAA New Orleans will open up tomorrow night and same with AA Binghamton. Baseball is getting into its swing.
