Except they will select him as the starter but I hope the Mets hold him out of it.Do they vote a DH for the NL, or just assign one? Cause, here's a good candidate, batting 0.400 and 0.440 SLG%

Latest on New York Mets Pitcher Jacob deGrom including latest updated stats on ESPN
Not if you look at the 5 guys who are light years ahead of him this year. But, he is having a good season
You probably know this, but it's a single admission doubleheader. In theory, you can stay for both games. Of course, with a four year old there is no chance of that. Starting him off with a seven inning game was a wise choice.
Even a blind person could see Reid-Foley is a better pitcher than Bad News Barnes. I never understood why Reid-Foley was sent down, and Barnes was given several opportunities to blow games. 😫 Some of the decisions made by the Mets are what frustrates most of us. I didn't see the entire game yesterday, but I was told some of the most during the last half of the game were questionable and contributed to the loss. This is why fans get upset.
The short answer as to why guys like Reid-Foley and Drew Smith get sent down as opposed to somebody else is that the Mets have options on them. They'd have to DFA Barnes, and I guaran-damn-tee you he'd get claimed. Heck, Daniel Freakin' Zamora got claimed.
I think they keep him for a while and DFA Williams, who has been a useful stopgap but doesn't really have a role going forward. Any role he might have had has been usurped by McKinney.
True, but it is also possible that deGrom is their sole representative. Probably only 12 pitchers will be selected, and there are SO many outstanding NL pitchers this year.
Is/are there ferry(ies) running from Highlands or Middletown to Citi Field?
I think Bauer becomes a lock even if his number end up behind some of the others. If Stroman and Walker throw up a few more gems, one of the two most likely make it as well.
Rojas is like a robot. He is the reason the bullpen is overworked, and the starters are underused. He has no feel for the game. Sometimes, the game works to its own beat. Peterson broke form, and because this was different, you don't approach the situation the same way. Every game is not like a cookie-cutter, with everything fitting neatly into place.
He will always remember his 1st game. My dad took me to a Mets game, and it was Ron Swoboda bat day. I treasured that bat always. Came home for winter break from RU. Went to my closet, and bat was gone. Long story short my mom threw it out! Didn't speak to her for months.
Great post. Both of you will never forget the 1st game. It will be remembered as a very special moment.Is/are there ferry(ies) running from Highlands or Middletown to Citi Field?
We went to the June 2 game against the Diamondbacks. About 20 rows behind Mets dugout, with great views of Alonso at first and in the dugout. $52/ticket, which probably would be a lot more at Citi. Pete toss balls over the netting in between each inning as he came off the field. Even though we did not get a ball, being so close, was one of the highlights of my old life. [roll]Taking young kids to their first game is such a special time for parents/kids.
My point is more that Rojas can't break from his routine, and it's due to inexperience. Unfortunately, that inexperience may cost the Mets down the stretch. When it comes to May, teams have hit him hard of late. Teams are sitting on his pitches. Four of May's last five games have been rough. Arizona lit him up twice, San Diego got into his kitchen, and now Chicago. May has to work on a few things because he's struggling all around.
