With another great outing today against the Marlins, did John Maine just help his cause to become the Mets number 2 starter? I saw Maine pitch last Sunday in Port St.Lucie against the Astors, and he looked great. Before the game i was standing in the front row of the left field stands watching him warm up before his start and he was spot on in the pen. I mean Castro's glove was barely moving an inch. During the game Maine was unhittable. Not one hitter really made great contact against him and he ended the game with four innings of no hit ball.
Today was just about the same. Unfortunately I was unable to go see the game but the box score shows his dominance. Maine threw 5 shutout innings while allowing just 3 hits and striking out 6 of the 20 batters he faced. I am fine with John Maine being our #2 guy on the mound in any series, no matter if its a regular season series or a playoff series. I had a feeling that he would be something special when we got him with Jorge Julio for Kris Benson. You always got to watch out for those throw in guys when teams make trades. Thank you Baltimore!!!!
