When deGrom does come back they’re going to have to be so careful with him.

Jacob deGrom to Return by June?

I’m very skeptical of deGrom being able to come back healthy by June. Save him till after the All-Star game imo.
Tylor McGill To Start Opening Day, Is the Mets Rotation Depth Now a Major Concern?

I know that Megill likes to keep it cool, but this is easily the biggest start of his career.

Jacob deGrom To Miss 4 Weeks with Shoulder Tightness

Jacob deGrom’s season is already on hold. The ace right-hander is headed to the injured list for an extended stretch, after an MRI exam on Friday revealed a stress reaction on his right scapula. DeGrom, according to general manager Billy Eppler, will discontinue throwing for up to four weeks, after which he will have to build up to pitch.
The diagnosis came less than a week before the Mets are scheduled to open their season, on Thursday in Washington. The vaunted 1-2 punch of deGrom-Max Scherzer will have to wait.
This is why I never got too excited about the vaunted 1-2 punch of degrom and Scherzer, because deGrom is just so injury-prone at this point. Now with this news I wouldn’t expected deGrom to be back before the All-Star break, if at all.

Off hand, the Santana no-hitter, the last game from that 3-game sweep of the Nationals in September2019 and sweeping the Cubs in the 2015 NLCS to make it to the World Series are my Top 3.
Mets Waste Yet Another Stellar Jacob deGrom Start
24
Aug
This continues to amaze me. How the Mets bats go silent seemingly a majority of the time when their ace deGrom is on the mound. And last night the Braves had Mike Foltynewicz on the hill, their 4th or 5th starter with a 5-plus ERA coming in and they could only get two hits off the guy in 7 innings with deGrom himself provided them with their only run via a HR…smh
Why Wasn’t Tomas Nido Catching Jacob deGrom Last Night?

As rough as things have been for the Mets, if they can’t get consistency out of deGrom, they’re going to have serious issues.
Wilson Ramos, who went 2-for-4, was Friday’s catcher, and after what transpired it wouldn’t be a surprise if Tomás Nido is behind the plate for deGrom’s next start.
DeGrom is 2-0 with a 0.43 ERA in three starts pitching to Nido, but is now 1-5 with a 6.39 ERA when pitching to other catchers.
Callaway had no regrets about sticking with deGrom as the game got away from him.
“He’s your ace,” the manager said. “He’s gonna throw his pitches. You’re gonna win or lose with him. That’s the right thing to do. He’s the leader of the staff and he gets that chance.”
Listen, deGrom still has to make the pitches, but when you look at the difference in results on deGrom between when Nido catches him and when Wilson Ramos does, it’s worth having a conversation about.
Jacob deGrom Delivered Another Stinker Last Night

Maybe the Mets should have done another rain dance.
Intent on playing Friday’s series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers at Citi Field and pitching ace Jacob deGrom, they had to live with the results after a rain delay that lasted nearly three hours. And the results weren’t pretty.
The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner blew up for five earned runs in the third, giving up more in one inning than he did any singular outing last season, and the Mets were blown out yet again 10-2. It was deGrom’s third straight loss.
“My arm feels great, that’s what’s really frustrating about it,” he said. “It felt good warming up, it felt really good in the bullpen out there so to go out there and do that, that’s embarrassing.”
You can’t go from just winning a Cy Young to be being this bad so soon, can you?
Gio Gonzalez Signs With Brewers

On a day the Mets trot out Jason Vargas to the mound, a potential replacement fades away.
Gio Gonzalez is signing a one-year, $2 million deal with the Brewers, The Athletic first reported Wednesday. It’s a major league deal that also includes performance bonuses. It’ll be a reunion for the free-agent starter, who came to Milwaukee in a deadline deal from Washington last offseason.
Milwaukee reportedly was more attractive than other suitors because he can slot right into the rotation, whereas the Mets may have wanted him out of the bullpen, too.
The Mets, according to The Post’s Mike Puma, viewed Gonzalez as a marginal upgrade at best over Vargas. They did not want to eat his money if he flopped.
My guess is that with the Mets in first 1st place and deGrom’s MRI coming back ok, there just isn’t a pressing need to sign a starting pitcher.
Jacob deGrom Should Have The MRI

Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom says his elbow felt better Saturday, one day after the team had said he would return to New York for an MRI.
Manager Mickey Callaway said deGrom now may not need to have the MRI, but will be checked out by the team’s medical staff when the Mets return to New York on Monday.
On Friday, the Mets said the reigning Cy Young Award winner would be placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Tuesday. DeGrom was scratched from his Saturday start against the Cardinals.
“It’s just a little sore,” deGrom said in St. Louis after throwing in the outfield.
I mean, why take any risks? Just get an MRI to be on the safe side.

Pete Alonso is looking like the real deal, deGrom’s 2-0 and the Mets are 5-1 and on their way home. Couldn’t ask for a much better start to 2019.
