Saturday was a tipping point for me. The way the New York Mets lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates was typical. In yet another quality start from ace Jacob deGrom, the team failed to score a single run.
The final box score with a 5-0 score and 11 hits for Pittsburgh hardly tells the tale of another miserable evening. The Mets mustered just 6 hits of their own with deGrom packing in two of them, including a double.
The one-man-army deGrom now has an ERA at an MLB best 1.82 and a record of 5-6.
