KTE - Los Marlins de Miami

[seawolf17]

Fri 5/22, 7:10 pm: Tobias Myers vs Eury Perez
Perez is the wunderkind, just 23 years old, throwing hard and having no idea where the ball is going. He’s 2-6 for a reason. 0-3, 10.00 ERA in three starts against the Mets.
It's also Naruto Night, with special ticket package holders receiving horrendous orange Naruto-inspired jerseys.

Sat 5/23, 4:10 pm: Freddy Peralta vs Max Meyer
Meyer is their sort-of #2 (we’ll miss Alcantara, who pitched last night) with a 2.85 ERA. He’s 27 and he’s never thrown more than 111 innings in a season, at any level, and he’s already halfway there. 1-1, 3.48 career against the Mets.
It's also Cuban Heritage Night, featuring Livan Hernandez pins.

Sun 5/24, 1:40 pm: Christian Scott vs ?
Braxton Garrett was in this spot in the rotation, but was sent down.
Thankfully, the first 5,000 fans (like they'll get that many! heyoooooooo) receive color-changing Marlins cups.

Guys to know:
2B Xavier Edwards - Speedy on-base machine. Seven-game hitting streak.
SS Otto Lopez - Carrying my fantasy team, leading the NL in hits and BA.
C/1B Liam Hicks - Somehow leading the NL in RBI?
Everyone else in the lineup is pretty much meh. They can run, but are otherwise MLB-average offensively in most categories.

Pete Fairbanks, the big free agent RP, is their closer. He’s somehow been worse than Williams on Williams’ worst days, with an ERA of 9.00. Just came back from the IL.

They're managed by a guy named Clayton McCullough. If you gave a thousand guesses, I wouldn't have gotten that right.

Former Mets on the roster: None.

All-Time Mets/Marlins Team:
C Mike Piazza
1B Carlos Delgado
2B Luis Castillo 
3B Todd Zeile
SS Jose Reyes
LF Cliff Floyd
CF Curtis Granderson
RF Gary Sheffield
DH is stupid
SP Al Leiter, Livan Hernandez
RP Braden Looper, David Weathers, Armando Benitez

Marlins Ballpark: loanDepot Park

The home run statue was moved outside in 2018, but it's still a weird place. Went to back-to-back games there several years ago, one with the roof closed where it felt like an airplane hangar, and one with it open where it was absolutely gorgeous. Plays like a slight pitchers park, overall.

Cool feature: the bobblehead museum, a giant display case with shelves that vibrate so the bobbles bobble. My pics from 2015:
