I don’t understand the 2015 Daniel Murphy. He has moments as an offensive stud. He makes game crippling errors and mental miscues. Yesterday was an example of the former where Murphy bailed Gee and the Mets out from a fantastic start with Gee coupled with zero offense. In the top of the ninth, with two on and one out, Murphy slammed a shot to right center giving the Mets a 3-1 lead. Tonight the Mets look to continue that magic against the fish.
Montero gets the start tonight. Throughout the season Montero and others will get a start to push everyone back a day, specifically Harvey, to stretch them throughout the season. On the season Montero has posted a 4.15 ERA over 4.1 innings allowing 3 runs, 2 earned. last year he had a 4.06 ERA over 10 games, 8 starts, over 44.1 innings. Last year he logged only one inning against the Marlins where he allowed 1 hit and a walk and nothing else in 1 inning. The Marlins have the following numbers against Montero:
- Gordon 0-2
- Brignac 1-2
- Hechavarria 0-1
- Realmuto 0-1
- Suzuki 1-1, 3B
David Phelps is on the bump for the Marlins tonight. He is 1-0 over 4 games and 2 starts this season with a 3.55 ERA over 12.2 innings. His first start of the season was against the Mets were he allowed one run over 4.2 innings while walking 3 batters. He is coming off of a strong start where he shut out the Phillies for 7.0 innings holding them to 3 hits and 2 walks. The Mets have the following numbers against Phelps:
- Cuddyer 0-4
- Duda 0-3
- Murphy 1-3, 2B
- Campbell 0-1
- Flores 1-2
- Granderson 0-2
- Lagares 0-2
- Tejada 1-1
Lets Go Mets!
