Note that deGrom didn't even pitch in the majors until he was 26, and that Bob Feller, by contrast, pitched his 200th game while he was only 22.
In other news the Mets are 6.5 games up on the Braves having beat them 3 straight games! Let's go Mets!!!

While I have to admit, the Mets sure showed they were the superior team this weekend,
they got
ALL the lucky breaks (one ball bounced high off a rock in the infield, another off the base- and there were plenty of others in the previous games)
and
ALL the close calls (via C.B. Buckner, the second worst umpire).
On radio, Joe Simpson stated, before Sunday's game, that if the Mets keep getting ALL the lucky breaks, they will cruise through the playoffs and win the World Series.
At least Dansby Swanson broke up the perfto DeGroom was working on. 98MPH four-seamer...thank goodness he had 'slowed down a bit' by then. Eyes Rolling Emoge.
Edwin Diaz is averaging 18.1 strikeouts per nine innings this year...I believe that would break the record either Chapman or Kimbrel set.
Q: Is Daniel Vogelbach the answer to the question, 'What is the most human being that can be poured into a baseball uniform?'
