Jetsfan80 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 And of course they still found a way to lose. FML. http://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/Mets-deGrom-ties-MLB-record-with-8-Ks-at-start-5757616.php Mets' deGrom ties MLB record with 8 Ks at start Updated 8:29 pm, Monday, September 15, 2014 NEW YORK (AP) — Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom has tied a major league record by striking out his first eight batters. The rookie whiffed eight consecutive Miami Marlins to begin Monday night's game at Citi Field, matching the mark set by Jim Deshaies of the Houston Astros against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sept. 23, 1986. Deshaies and deGrom are the only pitchers to accomplish the feat since 1900. A top contender for NL Rookie of the Year, deGrom tied the record by freezing Jeff Mathis with a 95 mph fastball for a called third strike. The shaggy-haired righty then gave up a sharp single to opposing pitcher Jarred Cosart on a 1-0 pitch. As deGrom quickly piled up Ks, the small crowd began clapping whenever he got two strikes on a hitter. He received a warm ovation following Cosart's base hit. The previous Mets record for strikeouts to start a game was six by Pete Falcone against Philadelphia on May 1, 1980. STATS says Mickey Welch of the New York Gothams struck out the first nine Cleveland Blues batters on Aug. 28, 1884 — when the mound was only 50 feet from home plate.

JustInFudge Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Kid can deal it. Mets could have a sick pitching staff next season when my boo Harvey returns. They just need bats and go buy a ******* shortstop already. Stop experimenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 How many did he have the whole game? 13. Ended up giving up 3 runs later in the outing, came out with a 5-3 lead by the 8th inning. Bullpen blew it and they lost 6-5. Pretty much sums up the Mets season.

RutgersJetFan Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 If we don't trade one of these kids for some hitters, I mean come on. I really like what we have going forward but there is clearly a surplus we can exploit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 UGLY uniforms dope pitching job though, good for him Welcome to 2014. They have been doing it every Monday since April. Complimentary tix and a lot of work for the Wounded Warrior Project. But hey, you don't like the way they look, and that is what is really important.

Wasn't aware of that but I am glad you see the important part here. I say more free tickets and less ugly uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to deal some surplus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
