Misch=really not that good; lose 6-3

Well, that last start should end the Pat Misch is the number 5 starter for the Mets next year. Because if he is something has gone horribly wrong. He actually isn't that good. He has a low swinging strike percentage (3.8% from tonight's game), he doesn't strike many out (2 tonight), and he doesn't have great control, as he walks almost as many as he strikes out (1.12 K/BB Ratio). He also doesn't get that many groundballs either. And tonight, he gave up 2 home runs, as the Marlins have now hit 4 in 2 games in this series. The Mets got 3 in the 7th, on a Murphy double, Francoeur sac fly and Tatis ground out. Misch went 6, gave up 5 runs, Lance Broadway gave up 1 run in 1 inning, and Sean Green went 1 and Elmer Dessens went 2 scoreless.
Stupid Decision of the Day: Having Tatis pinch hit for Thole in the 7th. Tatis grounded out, anyway, Thole could've done that. Jerry, I don't know if you read the stats they give you, but Thole is almost just as good against lefties as he is against righties. Give him a chance Jerry, insted of your favorite .260/.325 hitter Tatis.
Random Thought of the Day: Wow, Jerry must really hate Nick Evans. What did he do, run over Jerry's dog?
Clutch Play of the game: Murphy double in 7th, +.054 WPA
Up next for the Mets: Mets vs Marlins, 7:10 PM
Bobby Parnell (3-7 5.25 ERA 4.12 FIP 4.29 tRA) takes on
Sean West (6-5 4.61 ERA 4.61 FIP 4.88 tRA)
