The more I think about it the more I suspect that the relatively short leash for Mis last night was probably directly related to the fact that his velocity, while still incredible, but down a touch from what he's been doing this year.  I don't think it's concerning or anything, but it was probably a data point that played a role in that call along with the rested pen.
