Jacob deGrom dominates and perhaps should have been starter

CINCINNATI - When the clubhouse doors finally swung open late Tuesday night, the first wave of media went directly to the locker belonging to Jacob deGrom. In a room full of All-Stars, deGrom was the brightest of this National League group after a performance everyone will be talking about for a while.

Just like they still do about Dwight Gooden. And that was 31 years ago.

Crazy to mention deGrom and Dr. K in the same sentence? Not anymore. Get used to it. After so many Harvey Days, this is becoming the Season of deGrom, and that's on the heels of his Rookie of the Year award.
