deGrom is ridiculously good.

 

I know that headline I posted is obvious right? Just as obvious with how good deGrom is. Not only did he he pitch a lights out game, striking out a historic amount of hitters, 50 strikeouts in 29 innings. knocked in the game winning RBI himself and had his second career shutout. It's unbelievable what we are are seeing right now. Not only did he do all that but he also got the Mets off that three game losing streak.

My blog partner on deGrom and Tom Seaver, with a key bit of wisdom a lot of baseball fans of a certain age need to hear: "The instinct to protect a hero’s legacy shouldn’t activate against somebody you revel in rooting for to begin with." #Mets https://t.co/rUaQS9xyd0

Updated numbers for Jake deGrom - which are ridiculous! 4 starts, 29 innings pitched. 1 earned run allowed. 50 strikeouts and just 3 walks! An ERA of 0.31! @JonHeyman - these are Gibson, Seaver - dare I say, Koufax numbers! #Mets @Mets

Even the Nats Social Media team is tipping it's hat.

Sometimes you've just gotta tip your cap.
