The Mets have seven players currently on the 60 day-IL. That's a lot, right? This could be a quiz if I was in the mood to emcee it, which I'm not. But name the seven anyways, if youse wanna. _______ Meanwhile, I was surfing for new news on deGrom which I couldn't find. I still think that the Mets aren't being as forthright as they could be about this situation, which is what I thought at the beginning, when I first heard that deGrom's start was being pushed back just one day so that he could face more division rivals. Yeah, right. The other day, Rojas said that deGrom threw off the mound and felt good. But when Rojas was asked how many pitches deGrom threw in that session, Rojas said that "he didn't know". Yeah, right, again. I'm hunching that deGrom won't be back until around Labor Day, at the earliest. I hope I'm overshooting deGrom's return.
