I mean, he almost fakes out the infield on the first pitch, then with two strikes he turns into Rod Carew.

6 innings, 80 pitches, 1 hit, 10 K, no walks, 3-0 lead. Unless he asked to be taken out, this seems premature by an inning, at least.

The Mets' announcers said deGrom's ERA is the lowest through 10 starts since Marichal in '66 (0.59--his 10th start was a 14-inning shutout!). Marichal's next three starts: 3 ER (9 innings), 6 ER (4 innings), 6 ER (6 innings). He finished the year at 2.23 over 307.1 innings.

I will take VHS's advice and go watch Vlad--3 for 3, double, HR, walk.

Didn't realize he's starting tonight against the Cubs. Had to laugh at the latest mlb.com graphic (partly at myself, who's every bit as guilty):
"How deGrom Can Pass Gibson: 20 more starts + 19 more earned runs = 1.09 ERA (assumes an average of 6-1/3 innings per start)"
Which is kind of like saying "How X can pass Y: hit a HR every game for the next three weeks." I think it was the hospitalized kid in the Seinfeld episode who created the graphic.

He has struck out 4 of the first 5 batters?
― Vin Jawn (PBKR), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 23:37 (two years ago) link
Yes, he has struck out 4 of the first 5 batters.
― Vin Jawn (PBKR), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 23:38 (two years ago) link
5 of the first 6 now, but that last guy--a .156 hitter--took him to 11 pitches. So he's thrown 34 through two innings.

let's go starting pitchers who are named jacob degrom, let's do this
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 23:49 (two years ago) link
Two out, runner on third, knocks in the first run of the game and keeps his average above .400. It's almost comical.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 23:53 (two years ago) link
Yeah it’s kind of expected now
― Michael F Gill, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 23:55 (two years ago) link
Ominous--out of the game after 3 perfect innings (8K).

It's just gonna be like this all season huh
DeGrom and Ohtani should be allowed to take steroids for health reasons, for the good of the sport and my mental health

I have this horrible feeling that they'll just shut him down for the season at some point, and it'll be like Williams and Gwynn and Griffey and the Expos in '94 in the what-could-have-been department. But worse.

yeah you could really tell he wasn’t right when he struck out his seventh straight hitter lol
― k3vin k., Thursday, 17 June 2021 01:43 (two years ago) link
You have to wonder if he was going strikeout ten in a row on a way to no hitter or something. But these small scares also feel like the risk of being so otherworldly. Like, humans aren’t supposed to be doing this.
― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 17 June 2021 02:33 (two years ago) link
it makes me wonder if he’s soft tbh
― k3vin k., Thursday, 17 June 2021 02:44 (two years ago) link
Even if he keeps pitching more or less regularly, it'll probably be close as to whether he even qualifies for the ERA title. Mets have 101 games left; he's at 67 innings, so he needs 95 more. If he got 18 more starts, he'd need to average 5+ per start--not a huge margin of error with him, it would seem. (If he were a hitter going after a batting title, he'd have enough of a cushion that he could fall short of the AB--they'd assign him the necessary 0-for, and he'd still win. Doesn't work for pitchers.)
― clemenza, Thursday, 17 June 2021 02:52 (two years ago) link
he's at 0.54 ERA after 67 innings. i'm not so interested in the full season record, at the moment, because injuries happen.
but who else has had a comparable stretch over that shorter amount of innings (67 IP)? the only one i could think of was jack flaherty, who has a 0.70 ERA over a 64 inning stretch from 7/21/21 - 9/8/21. or, cherrypicking that, a 0.50 ERA over 54 innings from 8/1/21 - 9/8/21.
it seems like there would be relievers who approach this? someone with a baseball-ref subscription could probably figure this out in 2 seconds flat

7/21/21 - 9/8/21. or, cherrypicking that, a 0.50 ERA over 54 innings from 8/1/21 - 9/8/21.
all of those were from 2019, sorry
what year is it

Did you check Gibson's '68 game log? He must have had a comparable stretch.
― clemenza, Thursday, 17 June 2021 17:39 (two years ago) link
Gibson '68, start #12 through start #22: 8 shutouts, 0.27 ERA.
― clemenza, Thursday, 17 June 2021 17:42 (two years ago) link
how many innings in that stretch?
must have been at least 72 with the shutouts
O_O
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 17 June 2021 17:47 (two years ago) link
99 innings. Come to think of it, the two most obvious are Hershiser and Drysdale when they had their consecutive-scoreless-innings streaks. Hershiser ('88) -- 6 starts, 55 innings, 0.00; Drysdale ('68) -- 6 starts, 54 innings, 0.00.
Gibson's is easily the most impressive.

Holy shit @ that graph and video. I would like to see what other pitchers' looked like, but that seems like a huge deal.
― Vin Jawn (PBKR), Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:25 (two years ago) link
Yeah, that's incredible. I wonder if his arm speed is comparable too.
I checked Gooden's best stretch in '85, and it was all of Sept./Oct., in the middle of a close pennant race (remember them?) with the Cardinals: 6 starts, 53 innings, 0.34. I won't even check that Leonard guy and whatever it was they were playing 120 years ago.
― clemenza, Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:29 (two years ago) link
in the thread there’s a graph for dylan cease — it’s tight, but not like degrom’s
― mookieproof, Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:30 (two years ago) link
If I remember correctly, peak Kershaw was also ridiculously tight.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 17 June 2021 20:38 (two years ago) link
There is a full video in that guy's thread that is even more impressive. You can't really tell them apart until the pitch is over and he's falling away on one of them.

Sure I'm not the only one following: four innings so far, six strikeouts, only baserunner a 9- or 10-pitch walk to the opposing pitcher.
