CAPSLOCK=DISABILITY ACCOMODATION
CAUTION, ANNIE, MISCH DIDN’T MORPH INTO A PHENOM; BUT WAS LED IBTO A PERFECT APPROACH TO A POWERFUL,IMPERFECT LINEUP. HE FINESSED IMPATIENT FREESWINGING POWERHITTERS ALL NIGHT. A MORE PATIENT LINEUP OF MORE VERSATILE HITTERS LIKELY WOULD CREAM HIS SAME OFFERINGS, aka A BRAVES REMATCH OR CARDS, OR DODGERS, OR YANKEES. IT WAS WHAT IT WAS A SINGULAR EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE USING THE PROPER EFFECTIVE STYLE/APPROACH. THE FISH HAVE A LONG ESTABLISHED REPUTATION AS BEING SUSCEPTIBLE TO OFFSPEEDERS. MISCH WAS THAT TO A TEE. MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE USE OF TOOLS WAS EARLIER WHEN MAINE ONE-HIT THEM WITH POWER OFFERINGS, THEIR USUAL PREFERRED DIET.

Yesterday was the game that I’ll remember all winter. I’m sure we all thought it would be just another so-so experience in an empty stadium. However, it evolved into something else – the most memorable game of the season.

Pat Misch made that memory on the mound for us. Carefully doing his job, he pitched a complete game shut out, assisted by Francoeur who made the catch of his life to save it.

Two youngsters, playing the game as it should be played. You gotta love it.

Thanks guys -

62, Face it, we live on separate planets. If you don’t have a sense of humor, what good is life? That’s all I’ll say, if you can’t figure it out, that’s you’re problem.

UMMM? MASK, I BELIEVE YOU’VE FINALLY TRIPED OVER THE EDGE. HOW ‘BOUT A MORE CONVENTIONAL APPROACH OF MISCH IN THE PEN AS THE EARLY LOOGEY WE STRUGGLED TO FIND EFFECTIVLY ALL YR?
MISCH USED A GLUT OF OFFSPEED JUNK EFFECTIVLY JUST AS THE HERNANDEZ BROS(LIVAN & DUQUE) DID EFFECTIVLY AGAINST THE FASTBALL SMASHING LINEUP OF FREE-SWINGERS. AGAINST A MORE MATURE, WELL ROUNDED ONE, HE’LL GET KILLED
WHOSE DRIVING YOUR UNHITCHED BANDWAGON?

Frenchy’s catch has to be one of the best plays by the Mets this season. Right up there with Murphy’s flip to the pitcher, and Santan’s kick saves.

Also great job by Misch, his secon career win is a shoutout against the Marlins.

Misch is apparently making a big play to redeem himself. He has been a serious competitor in the Golden Horns race for the GOAT of the year trophy. But today’s performance will keep that trophy under lock and key for Pelfrey and Parnell to duke it out during the final week.

Perhaps there is a place on the Mets for Misch next year. Here’s a novel idea: how about having Misch in the starting rotation, but only pitch every other time around the rotation and having him in the pen during his off week? During his off week from the rotation, he could pitch an inning in a couple games to keep crisp. This could actually be a real strategy for him, if the starting workload is too much for him to recover for his next start. Let him start a game and then let him rest the 2nd week with only a couple innings out of the pen and then come back to start for the 3rd week. This is a novel approach that might work. It’s revolutionary and imaginative ideas that are needed to allow the Mets to perform in a world of small budgets. Let’s introduce innovation and creativity to baseball. I suggest alternative work week schedules for starting pitchers! Using this strategy, we would also alternate Ollie with Misch to minimize the heartache from the number of Ollie starts (and Ollie would be happy working part time for $36 mil).

Let’s see what this would look like. Assuming the rotation for next year is: Santana, Pelfrey, Maine, Redding, Misch. (Wow, is that bad or what?). For Misch’s off week, Ollie gets a start. We could let Ollie party during his off week as he has been doing all year anyway. So it would look like this:
Week 1: Santana, Pelfrey, Maine, Redding, Misch
Week 2: Santana, Pelfrey, Maine, Redding, Ollie (Misch in pen)
Week 3: Santana, Pelfrey, Maine, Redding, Misch (Ollie doing the Town)
Week 4: Santana, Pelfrey, Maine, Redding, Ollie (Misch in pen)

The benefit is we get a good game out of Misch every other week, some reduction in workload for the pen during Misch’s week in the pen, and Ollie out of our face for half the season. Sounds good to me.
