The Mets and the Phillies play the rubber game of their three game set today as the Mets try to take the series from the Phils. The first game on Friday night was gritty and ended up being a loss for the Mets. Last night wasn't looking much better for the Mets until the seventh inning. First, Beltran had the hard slide, which was awesome. Then the Mets put up a five spot, which was even more awesome. Today the Mets will throw Misch to counter Hamels.
Misch is 0-4 on the season with 9 games and 4 starts in the books totaling 24.1 innings pitched with an ERA of 4.44. The last time he pitched was on the 19th against the Braves where he had a scoreless outing and the last time he started was at the end of August and it was a pretty ugly start. So far against the Phillies this year he has made a relief outing and a start where he has totaled 6.1 innings pitched and one earned run. The Phils have these numbers on Pat:
Werth 2-10
Howard 1-9
Rollins 2-8, HR
Utely 2-8, 2 HR
The Mets will have to deal with Cole Hamels today who is 12-10 on the season with a 2.93 ERA. He has been very good in the month of September with a 28.2 innings pitched posting a 0.63 ERA over that time. This season he has also been fantastic against the Mets in terms of ERA where he has posted a 1.69 ERA over 21.1 innings in three games. However every time he pitches against the Mets, the Mets pitchers seem to be near perfect, so Cole's record against the Mets this season is 0-3. The Mets have these numbers on Hamels:
Reyes 6-29, 2B
Beltran 8-28, 2 2B
Pagan 8-27, 2B, HR
Lets Go Mets!
