My guess is that over the course of worrying about his back and pitching with greater fatigue because of it that Gil has messed up his mechanics. I hope that is all that it is and not yet another closely guarded secret injury (Dayton Moore and Trey Hillman apparently have gone to the Kansas State Football School of Injury Non-Disclosure seminar). Just one simple thought (hand plancement, foot landing, pressure on your big toe - I don't know, but Bob McClure surely does) might be all it takes for Meche to get back in the groove.....assuming he really is healthy.
