Matt who?

Mets going to 6-man rotation at least for this turn, deGrom next on Monday vs Marlins

The Elias Sports Bureau notes that (deGrom is) one of three pitchers in Mets history to have an ERA below 3.00 through the first 20 starts of his debut season. The other two: Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden....

Since starting 0-4, deGrom is 8-2 with a 1.77 ERA in 12 starts. Since June 21, his ERA ranks third-best in baseball, behind only Clayton Kershaw’s 1.19 and Corey Kluber’s 1.61. His .535 opponents’ OPS trails only Kershaw’s .464 and Garrett Richards’ .510.

Not only did the scoreboard watching go right for the Mets from the perspective of the wild-card standings (yes, go ahead and laugh), it went right for deGrom from a statistical perspective as well.

DeGrom’s chief competition in the Rookie of the Year race, Billy Hamilton, finished Tuesday 0-for-4 for the Reds, dropping his batting average to .260.

Unlike the wild card, this will be a neck-and-neck race probably right down to the final day. DeGrom’s pitching entering the day was worth 2.5 Wins Above Replacement. Hamilton was a hair behind him. His offensive and defensive performance has been worth 2.4 WAR.

@AnthonyDiComo
Matt Harvey was consistently throwing 95 mph in his final bullpen session of the year today, according to Sandy Alderson.

8 Ks to start the game!

between him, Wheeler and Harvey, the Mets have something of a ... generation K.

that was a very deflating game to witness

don't forget Syndergaard

Two dingers, 6 RBI for Flores

Beelzebud thinks Wilpons are doing just fine

saw this happen in real time -- gee's balk came less than a minute after the first tweet

Granderson has his OPS up to .719! Murphy's is only .742 fwiw.

six national league teams finished with a positive run differential -- the five playoff teams and the new york mets

maybe if they'd had Jeter they could've put up a -31 and still gone home.

Kevin Long, new hitting coach! oh no, i can hear Keith (Joe Morgan) Hernandez bemoaning a "non-aggressive approach" again...

I had not seen those Tommie Agee catches in quite a few years. He really covers some ground on both of them. They really were some amazin' catches.

WTF: Mets owner Fred Wilpon named head of Major League Baseball's finance committee

http://risingapple.com/2015/01/18/fred-wilpon-named-chairman-mlbs-finance-committee/

Is this the baseball equivalent of the POTUS pardoning guys on his way out?

no idea, but i assume it's OK w/ Manfred

That was sort of my point -- maybe Selig is handing out favours in his last few days in office and Manfred doesn't have much of a say in it.

@joe_sheehan
After the #Nationals are done paying Max Scherzer, the #Mets will still owe Bobby Bonilla about $8 million.

@keithlaw · Jan 19
Prediction: 57% of baseball tweets today will combine the keywords "Scherzer" and "Bonilla"
