Can't Watch: Brewers 10, Mets 6
Amazin' Avenue — ... whole family". He had the good fortune of pitching in front of Daniel Murphy's glove and had the good sense to be relieved by Elmer Dessens, who was likewise grateful for Ryan Church's arm and Brewers' third base coach Brad Fischer, who sent Braden Looper scampering for home on an ill-advised sacrifice fly attempt with one out and Prince Fielder on deck. Nieve's terrible performance was beside the point, because neither Brian Stokes, Pat Misch nor Bobby Parnell fared any better. ERA is a stupid, ...

Livan Hernandez has started more games and thrown more innings than anyone in baseball since 2000. Livan Hernandez allowed seven runs on ten hits and four walks in three innings against the Phillies on Friday night.

Purple Row — ... By fangraphs values, the Mets' staff is ranked 23rd in overall value, 24th in the rotation and 22nd in the bullpen. Jerry Manual's lefties are Pedro Feliciano and Pat Misch.  Joining closer Francisco Rodriguez are uninspiring righties Sean Green, Elmer Dessens, Bobby Parnell, Tim Redding, and Brian Stokes.   The D: D New York has made 62 errors, good for 11th in MLB.  However, by UZR, they have the worst range in the majors, which fangraphs takes into account to ...

Schwing And A Misch: Phillies 4, Mets 1
Amazin' Avenue — ... He also walked three and struck out four, recording most of his outs in the air and inducing swinging strikes on 7.4% of his pitches. Since we're on the topic of pitches, Redding was only allowed to throw 81 of them tonight, presumably because he's been a swing man for a while now and Jerry Manuel likely didn't want to push him too far. This seems like a stretch to me, as I would venture to guess that Redding could have come out for at least another inning. Instead, he was relieved by Pat Misch, who is terrible and isn't afraid to show it. Misch allowed a ...

Pat Misch Impresses, Brian Stokes Doesn't: Cubs 5, Mets 2
Amazin' Avenue — A well-pitched game by Pat Misch, who didn't do anything spectacularly well but generally kept the Cubs off the basepaths and the scoreboard. He struck out just two Cubbies (Ted Lilly once), but walked only two and allowed just six hits -- five singles and a double -- over seven innings. He's earned himself at least another start now that Oliver Perez is gone for the season; it's not as if the Mets have better options. Jerry Manuel made two bad decisions in this game; one worked out, one ...

Jimenez threw just 109 pitches in eight innings as the Mets' hitters constantly pounded his offerings into the ground. In all, Jimenez recorded 15 ground outs to just five flyouts, a recipe for success in the thin air of Coors Field. The Mets used four pinch-hitters tonight, none of them named Josh Thole. Thursday's game is an afternooner, as Pat Misch makes his second start against Jason Marquis. Game time ...

Rockies pop-up a treat for Mets on getaway day, lose 8-3
Purple Row — ... Starting pitching was bad. Relief pitching was bad. Hitting was mostly bad. Oddly enough, with that combination of forces at work, the Rockies lost to Pat Misch and the Mets anyway. Yeah, surprising to me too, you would think these things had an inverse relationship or something and the worse your team played, the more likely they were to win a game, but apparently it doesn't work that way in real life. Alright, so where does this latest loss leave the Rockies with 28 games left to play? If you're an optimisitic fan of Atlanta or ...

Royals Review — A quick introduction.  I am a: Mets fan, bored/annoyed by my favorite team. Royals Review lurker. Zack Greinke fanboy. With the Mets' season in the crapper, I have increasingly turned to MLB.tv to watch some of the great pitchers do their thing (Greinke, Tim Lincecum, Justin Verlander).  It's a significant upgrade over watching Pat Misch, Bobby Parnell or Tim Redding.  Greinke is fun to watch and awesome at pitching.  I applaud the Cy Young ...
