I really thought it was going to be different this year.
I really thought that the delay in the season, causing Jacob deGrom to match up with other team’s fourth and fifth starters early in the season instead of the other team’s aces was going to indirectly get him some more wins this year. By this time of the season, deGrom would have faced pitchers like Max Scherzer and Aaron Nola. Instead, he got Matt Moore and Trevor Rogers. He has 21 strikeouts in 14 innings and has given up one run. The young man should be 2-0.
Instead, deGrom has nothing to show for his great work this year, including today’s start against the Marlins, an eight inning, 14 strikeout gem in which is only flaw was a 100 mph fastball that was letter high and leaked over the middle of the plate. Jazz Chisholm got around on it and put it in the Soft Drink Sections to give the Marlins a 1-0 lead in the second inning. For a normal team with a mere mortal ace, it’s way too early to panic. But for the New York Mets with Jacob deGrom, we know that all too often this has meant “game over.”
