I remember Rich and Tommy were mentioning that Sergio has thrown like (22/23) consecutive innings without an earned run. How amazing is that?

Who would have thought that Mitre would be our best pitcher.

His struggles last season notwithstanding, I always thought Mitre had nasty stuff.

He was injured most of last year. I am not making excuses for him, but I'm sure pitching while you're not 100% would lead to a couple bad games. He looked awesome in his first start of the season vs. Houston (last year).

His streak now stands at 23 2/3

I defended him last year even when he struggled b/c I always felt he had good stuff. Who was it that was always bashing him last year saying how horrendous he is.

 

BTW, thank god the nickname 'Trash' didnt stick b/c that was a very stupid nickname. Mitre's nickname should be 'The Conquistador" since he looks like a 15th century Spanish conqueror such as Cortez or Pizarro.

I always said Mitre had the best chance of pitching a no-hitter this season, but after watching last night's game, anything is possible.

RVH had a lot of close calls last night. RVH will strike out a lot of guys though. However, Mitre has been striking out more batters lately and the number of groundball outs he forces are a recipre for low hit games, especially if we actually had a defense with better range.

I was looking at the game by game long and it only shows a streak of 16 IP without an ER. Where did that 23 IP come from?

He gave up the runs against the Rays early on.

The Conquistador just needs to stay healthy and he can be a very solid pitcher, if not a top pitcher.

ohh ok I see. Thanks for the correction

 

EDIT: Actually that still only puts him at 20 2/3 IP without an ER. Not 23.

He gave up the two earned runs after recording one out. Then went like 7 1/3 without an earned run.

right I was counting that other run but it was unearned. my bad

Mitre's nickname should be 'The Conquistador" since he looks like a 15th century Spanish conqueror such as Cortez or Pizarro.

Agreed, he has the looks of an spanish conqueror.

Certainly didn't expect him to come out like this...He was projected to be the 5th starter/back end of rotation(barely beating out an injured Nolasco) during spring training at best and now he's been the ace in terms of performance this season...

I sported that look for the last week or so before shaving it off yesterday.

It's always a good look for scaring the natives. We need to start referring to him as the Conquistador in threads and such so the nickname sticks. Maybe he'll catch wind of it and like it.

Either way, it's a very impressive streak and it's great to see him stepping up with the injured state of our staff as it is.
