Wins might be a meaningless stat, but writers who vote on the Cy Young take them into account. Let's get one today for deGrom.

I’m behind enemy lines in the ballpark. Hot as hell in Philly today.

[Edgy MD]

It's a Justine Ward game.

[Guest 41Forever]

I like Austin Jackson.

[Guest 41Forever]

A gift from Arrieta, let's make it count.

OE: Wilmer makes it count!

[Guest 41Forever]

That rain does not look good.

[Edgy MD]

With the Mets ahead of the Phils and deGrom on the mound, there is no rain that looks good.

[HahnSolo]

It’s pretty ugly here. This won’t be a short delay I don’t think.

[Guest d'Kong76]

The black cloud following our 2018 hero is persistent as all hell.

[Edgy MD]

Legitimate Cy Young leader making the Phils look stoopid in the fourth.

[Edgy MD]

McNeil making a play that made it look like his arm would fall off.

Flashback.
Announcers used to comment about how when a player makes a great fielding play, he "always seems to lead off the next inning".

Jake in deZone.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

nice shot McNeil

[Edgy MD]

Wow, I thought Herrera was in there.

[HahnSolo]

Heads up play by Jake and Jeff there. Phanatics around me disagree. But looked like a good overturn to me.

But what was Rosario doing making that throw?

[Frayed Knot]

Like the play called on the Mets the other day, I think the fielder's foot got in the way and delayed the runner from touching the base just long enough.
Of course I'm on record as not wanting to overturn ANYTHING where it's not obvious so [u:3qnbov2p]I[/u:3qnbov2p] wouldn't have flipped it. But I"ll take it.

It's not easy being green.

[Edgy MD]

He has gotten the first two batters, but Ramos doesn't really have much out there.

[Edgy MD]

Looks like they're sending him out there for the ninth.

MY GRANDPA USED TO TELL ME ABOUT WHEN THAT WOULD HAPPEN!

[Edgy MD]

Wow, I was ready to hook deGrom before that double-play.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

booooooks

[Edgy MD]

You

Have

Been

deGrominated.

[Lefty Specialist]

This just in.....Jacob DeGrom is really good.

[Guest 41Forever]

Awesome game! And his ERA actually got lower!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

DeGrom is the Bomb!!!
