Are you saying he's not injured or are you claiming you thought his inhuman pace was going to continue the entire season?

I am saying exactly what I said. I don't know that he's injured. Hell, HE doesn't know that he's injured (as least not seriously enough to miss any time) so how would I know?
I’m worried about Jake’s injury mostly because of how poorly the Mets med staff has been about these types of thing..,
With that said...of course Met fans are worried. Not only for the team but we are watching perfection like no one has seen before.
10 starts and he has not given up more than 1 run in any of them. If he is ok and continues- not only CY but may even run away with MVP as well.
no one would want to miss that.

A ton. I don't think they would trade him in division. He also left his game tonight after one out with a groin strain.
Sounds like this was the post-game discussion last night:
METS: So Jake, we've scheduled you for an MRI on your elbow.
DEGROM: Nah, don't need one. I can tell this probably isn't serious.
METS: OK man, you know best.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE???

1/3 into the season- I would doubt that this has ever happened before? Maybe Ruth back when he pitched. But for "true" pitchers...this is a crazy stat that I don't think gets enough attention.
I believe your overreacting. They are talking baseball and they are bringing up clear mistakes that have happened in the past with the Mets medical staff, that's all I see. Now if you want to talk front running, crying fanbase, I got a thread I can direct you to, lol!!!
You'd think that if you just read this board, no doubt. Maybe I never noticed it when I visited this thread in the past, or maybe the atmosphere has changed more recently. But it's now loaded with one reactionary post after another offering either complaints that are too often like what you read about coaches and backup quarterbacks or, instead, over-the-top expressions of how good the Mets are and that a "special" season is on the way. The internet and message boards get this way an awful lot, and at least for now this thread has veered in that direction.

deGrom did end up getting an MRI and it came back clean. Still expected to make the next start.
If deGrom stays on his every fifth day rotation, his upcoming starts are:
Wed 6/16 vs Cubs
Mon 6/21 vs Braves (7 inn.)
Sat 6/26 vs Phillies
Thu 7/1 @ Braves
Tue 7/6 vs Brewers
Sun 7/11 vs Pirates
That would take right up to the All Star break, and likely make him unavailable for the All Star game.
Alternatively, the Mets could choose to stay in rotation, which would mean he gets an extra day of rest when the Mets have their one remaining off day before the break. Which would mean:
Wed 6/16 vs Cubs
Mon 6/21 vs Braves (7 inn.)
Sun 6/27 vs Phillies
Fri 7/2 @ Yankees
Wed 7/7 vs Brewers
This would give deGrom full rest prior to the ASG, and put him in a position to start the game and pitch multiple innings. It also matches him up against the Yankees. But it means one fewer start.
My preference would be for the Mets to take the former path, but I strongly suspect it will be the latter.

If I am the Met's, he doesn't pitch a single inning at the All Star game...
With that- consider if he is able to make those 6 starts. That would mean about 40 innings and 55-60K...Would have him around 160k at the AS break with only about 100 innings...
BTW- the other completely insane stat with deGrom- 103k and only 8 walks.
And that would be out advantage if our top 3 guys go 7 innings pretty much every start. And compared to a lot of teams, we have a pretty strong BP.
Can I just say how much I love this team! These guys go out and just look like they are having fun, making plays to help their teammates.
Lindor and McCann playing much better. Alonso as well. And as much as I like Pillar and the other guys filling in, if/when Nimmo, McNeil, Conforto get back- wow. I left Davis out of that comment as much as I like him, Villar is the one backup that make be equal to who he is replacing. Would love to get Lindor on a 2-3 year contract, it may free up Davis for a trade to an AL team.
Lugo being back may also be the game changer.
also looking like we need to spend Noah’s money on keeping Stroman. Love pitching him after they just faced deGrom’s heat.
It does feel like there is something special with this team.
My wife and I had a great time at the game today in the 7 Line Army section! Great win for the Mets and hopefully tomorrow they get the sweep…
Cool. I was at Mets game as well today with my partial season ticket package. Was a fun game and lively crowd....
What was that chant 7 Line Army was yelling after every K?
Tough night for Eickhoff in Syracuse. Five innings, six ER.
Mets will need seven starters for doubleheader week. They have three. I am sure they will figure something out, but I don't know what.
I know that bullpen games are a possibility. Problem is, with your 4 and 5 starters right now, every game is a bullpen game. How much can they be asked to do?

They should be training him at 2B. As far as I know they don't have a top prospect at that position. Him, Alvarez and Baty are a good young nucleus.
Need to stretch out Luchessi. Last 3,starts very good but need at least 5-6 from him.
