Mets pitcher Jake deGrom

[Synthaholic]

Uhh... Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is now sporting a 0.00 ERA! Top that, deGrom!

Heheh - That was really fun, what was the backstory on that?
deGrom's favorite song

Cubs were losing 10-0. No sense wasting the bullpen. Especially when you have Strikeout King Rizzo.

Lindor hitting sub .250 is certainly not helping things.

Lindor has done well in the field, but the guy gets paid to hit and field. Dude is stinking up the ball park. Him and Conforto

They will both come around

You are never as good or as bad as you look in April

McNeil needs to come around too

And JD Davis won’t hit .400 and DeGrom won’t finish with an ERA below 1.00

True. I think DeGrom has more RBI’s than runs given up

Are you baseball fans familiar with this guy? OmG - He's got a 0.52 ERA and the Mets can't freaking hit the baseball. They'd better step up or this franchise player may be out of there. He doesn't blame anyone though ... Incredible maturity. His delivery and control remind me of a righty Sandy Koufax - Pedro Martinez or Greg Maddox? I've not seen him yet except for highlights. Dude is insane!

New York Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom tied Nolan Ryan's major league record for most strikeouts through a pitcher's first five starts of a season, finishing Wednesday night's start with nine strikeouts over six innings to run his five-game total to 59. But deGrom did so in a losing cause, as New York fell 1-0 to the Boston Red Sox at Citi Field.​

​

It was deGrom's 33rd career start, and third in 2021, in which he allowed one run or fewer and failed to pick up the win, most in the majors since he made his debut in 2014. Julio Teheran has the second-most such starts over that time frame with 25.​

​

"I try not to think too much about it," deGrom said. "Like I said, I'm more disappointed that I wasn't able to make pitches there in the second inning. I was trying to battle through but just left some balls over the middle of the plate that got hit. So, that comes down to me controlling what I can control and I didn't do a good job of that in that second inning."​

​

DeGrom has made 81 career starts of six-plus innings in which he has allowed no more than one run, but only 48 of those resulted in wins (59%). The MLB average win rate over the past five seasons when pitching at least six innings with one or no runs is 69%.​

DeGrom ties Ryan's K's mark over 5 starts in loss

Jacob deGrom struck out nine in six innings Wednesday night, running his five-game total to 59 to tie Nolan Ryan's record, but the Mets lost 1-0 to the Red Sox.

Dude is cursed. I’ve never seen a pitcher with less run support

Hey, did you kids see that Jake pitched for a 1A minor league team last night as a rehab check and his first two pitches were clocked at 102?

The kids on Morning Joe were LoLing about it today. I’m pretty sure he’s ready to come back to the Bigs.

Now get the poor dude some runs!

Mets beating Braves 11-1. McKinny pitching for the Mets in the 6th inning. Foley just replaced him. Braves sort of lack luster with there defense to night. But Mets do have some power hitters to night. A lot of the team is on IR.

Did anyone see Jake pitch 1st 6 innings against Diamondbacks last night in his first return from injured list?

No hits, 102 MPH nasty stuff, he got an RBI single (9th hit in 8 starts) and his team actually got him a couple of runs while he lowered his ERA to .71 (lowest since 1964) which is freaking NUTS.

Pure poetry - Bob Gibson/ Pedro Martinez/ Sandy Koufax territory.

Dude has scored 4 runs on the year and given up 4 runs on the year. This is one of the rare cases where the pitcher should win the MVP

DeGrom is hitting over .400

This guy is a runaway CY Young winner. Amazing control and brings the hot stuff!

DeGrom has 5 RBI’s this year and has given up 5 runs. We may be watching the best pitching season of all time

My mistake he’s given up 4 runs. .56 ERA
