You Know… Pat Misch Isn’t Half Bad
An article by Sach C.
You could say that much of the team is a mish-mash, but after getting out of a bases loaded jam last night against the Dodgers, left-handed reliever Pat Misch has stranded eight of his nine inherited runners since coming to the Mets. In addition, he has only given up one earned run.
Misch was acquired off waivers from the San Francisco Giants, where he had compiled an ERA of 10.80 with 0 K’s. Since coming to the Mets, he has an ERA of 1.04 in 12 appearances with 7 K’s. Granted he gives up many walks, 4 since coming over, a problem that has haunted him even during his days with the Giants. Another interesting stat is that he is throwing less than four pitches per plate appearance, and batters are hitting .194 against him as a Met.
Granted, this could just be the short-term Nieve-effect of changing scenery, but as long as he’s stranding inherited runners, this could allow us to rest Feliciano.
Till Next Time

every dog has his day! Let’s hope that’s not the case with both Misch and Nieve.
Misch has been a pleasant surprise. I was very doubtful when he arrived, but so far he has been very good. Would be nice if it continued that way.
