The Mets do not deserve Jacob DeGrom

Well for God's sake let's take the poor guy off their hands... They can't even score a run to help him out

The Mets do not deserve Jacob DeGrom

 

lol... yup.

[G-Snarls]

That wasn't good he was stretching out his side or back, maybe oblique. If it's his arm again he's in big trouble.

 

His FB delivery is so maximum effort

[G-Snarls]

DeGrom 12K 0 BB 4H and he's losing 1-0 after 6

[Spanky99]

A Lindor dinger would be nice right here. For me and deGrom.

 

Sheeeeeeeit.

[G-Snarls]

I thought for sure Conforto was getting beaned here.

 

The hometown Mets fans are taking care of it

 

He got booed solidly after striking out for the third time in a row, this time with runners at 1st and 3rd

[G-Snarls]

26 strikeouts through 6 innings in the Mets Marlins game wow

[G-Snarls]

DeGrom 12K 0 BB 4H and he's losing 1-0 after 6

 

He even got himself to 3B and they couldn’t get him in

[glory]

Mets waiting until Bass comes into the game in the 9th to score. That's a smart strategy.

[Spanky99]

Right lateral forearm tightness for Archer... Welp!

[Laika]

Gegrom is going to throw a 16 K, no walk, complete game one to nothing loss right?

Unfortunately because the NL and the Mets f***ing suck he's going to be taken out in the bottom of the 8th inning as his spot comes up.

[BTS]

He must hold those shitbags in so much contempt.

[G-Snarls]

Unfortunately because the NL and the Mets f***ing suck he's going to be taken out in the bottom of the 8th inning as his spot comes up.

 

Also they only like getting relievers who used to be good elsewhere, so they bring in Edwin Diaz to immediately give up more runs

 

3 hits 1 walk 2 more runs nice job and the don't even let him try to finish the inning

Frank Fleming is gonna be extra mad after this one

[Orgfiller]

Edwin Diaz coming in to further twist the knife.

[Spanky99]

Holy cow, I just checked his twitter account, that guy isn't right in the head! LMFAO!!!

[G-Snarls]

Conforto dangerously close to a golden sombrero...

 

Edit: Didn't quite pull it off. Ground out on a 1-2 pitch

[Orgfiller]

The Mets' record in deGrom starts since 2018 just moved to 36-42. Pathetic is putting it mildly. Edited April 10, 2021 by Orgfiller

I don't know if this guy thinks he's making a sick burn but Harper is actually correcting him on the pronunciation of Acuña if you read his lips.

Chris Archer to the IL

 

Brent Honeywell Jr takes his place and finally gets his MLB debut today

 

Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Changeup: 60 | Screwball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Curveball: 45 | Control: 55 | Overall: 50

Honeywell is expected to "open" Sunday's game, setting the table for scheduled starter Michael Wacha to take over in the second or third. It will be Honeywell's MLB debut.

 

Honeywell, 26 as of early March, has not pitched in a professional contest since 2017. During his absence, he's required four separate elbow operations, including Tommy John surgery and a procedure to decompress his right ulnar nerve. Honeywell also fractured his arm at one point, resulting in another setback.

 

Prior to those surgeries, Honeywell had been considered one of the league's top pitching prospects. Indeed, he made five consecutive Baseball America top-100 prospect lists, and he peaked at No. 11 on Baseball Prospectus' annual list. It's to be seen if Honeywell's body allows him to ever live up to that promise. MLB.com's Adam Berry reported during that spring that Honeywell's fastball had touched 95 mph and that his changeup "looked like the legitimate weapon it was before."
