Enough
If you had any hopes for Sergio Mitre before tonight, I imagine tonight's performance finished those off. Hopefully, tonight's performance finished off Joe Girardi's hopes as well.
I think they may have because Girardi chose to go to Robertson in the 4th with the game tied up again and Mitre sitting at "only" 75 pitches. They will burn out the pen tonight, covering at least five innings, but what really matters is where they go from here. Three Mitre starts are more than enough, let's get the next entrant in the "Who wants to be the fifth starter" contest up here ASAP.

Honestly? The guy is only something like 13 mos removed form his TJ surgery so he's not going to be close to his former self, which (let's face it) was a back of the rotation type pitcher with a career best 4.65 ERA. I know that Girardi likes the guy because he "throws strikes" and "pitches to contact". Yep, he sure does throw over the heart of the plate and he sure does let hitters put a lot of balls in play.
