Jacob deGrom

Unfortunately, Eickhoff says a lot about the Mets organizational pitching depth. Thankfully, Tylor Megill has come up and been a nice surprise. However, after that any real Mets pitching prospect is at least a few years away. The Mets AAA team in Syracuse is dead last in the league in pitching, sporting a whopping 6.18 ERA. ERA is meaningless some say? The Syracuse Mets are last in wins as well. How about AA Binghamton? Arms are on the way, right? Well, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies are second to last in the league in pitching.

It's not often that Superman needs help but it happens. In seasons past, Jake deGrom would take the mound, give up one run and lose the game 1-0. This year is different. No, Jake is still Superman but this year, his faithful teammates aren't letting him down.

The Mets could literally build a full starting rotation out of the amount of pitchers they currently have injured, and something needs to be done about it, soon.

New York Mets fans held their breath tonight, as Superman...uh, Jake deGrom did not return to the mound at Citi Field in the fourth inning after dominating the Chicago Cubs over the first three innings. deGrom struck out 8 of the 9 batters he faced. He didn’t give up a hit or a walk. Oh yeah, in his only time up, he singled and drove in a run. The Mets only had 5 hits the entire night. deGrom is now hitting .423 with 6 RBI.

Jake left with the score 3-0. The Mets eventually won 3-2. DeGrom picked up his 3rd straight victory for the first time since 2018 and that’s only because the Mets never score runs for him. Unfortunately, reports came out in the 8th that deGrom left the game with “right flexor tendinitis.” There is no word on the prognosis. We will keep you updated on The Drive with Charlie and Dan.

Mets fans, brace yourselves. Chaos is incoming. A Twitter user posted a video showing Jacob deGrom make a few moves that he thought were suspicious.

If I've learned one thing at 104.5 The Team, it's this...Buster Olney does not say things by accident. What he said about Jacob deGrom fits that perfectly.

The Mets continue to find ways to win, albeit against the Diamondbacks, who have been awful over the last few weeks. Those are the games you're “supposed” to win. Easier said than done when it comes to the Mets. At one point last week, the Metropolitans featured 17 players on the IL. It’s not easy when that list at one time includes Alonso, Lugo, McNeil, deGrom, Davis, Syndergaard, Carasco...well you get the picture.

Just when it seemed like the New York Mets were FINALLY starting to play to their potential, a seismic quake has rocked them to their core.

The Phillies open series two against Jacob deGrom and the Mets, who are playing their first game of 2021 on Monday night
