The storyline of the New York continuing to give very little support to the best pitcher in baseball has gone way beyond comic relief and instead has moved fully into "this is just depre sing" territory. It almost happened again Saturday afternoon in Colorado against the Rockies, but a seventh- Jonathan Lucroy Jersey inning rally salvaged the first half of their doubleheader ( ). Perhaps things will turn around now? Let's take a look at how it unfolded. was doing his thing. You know, where he just goes out and totally dominates his opponent. It's pretty much every outing at this point. This time around, deGrom struck out nine straight hitters, tied for the second-longest strikeout streak in history Cam Bedrosian Jersey and one shy of Tom Seaver's record.Here's deGrom's company with nine straight Ks: Jacob deGrom is the 9th pitcher to strike out at least 9 straight batters in a game, joining:1970 Tom Seaver (10)2020 Tyler Alexander2015 Max Scherzer2012 Doug Fister2012 Aaron Harang2009 Ricky Nolasco2007 Jake Peavy1884 Mickey Welch Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) Of course, for those of us who have grown accustomed to seeing the Mets screw up so many gems from deGrom, the Mets holding just a 1-0 lead was a bit worrisome. We were all sitting there waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop. And then it happened. A grounder ended the strikeout streak and a throwing J. C. Ramirez Jersey error from allowed a baserunner to start the fifth inning.Then, yes, deGrom got hit hard on a RBI triple, but watch this misplay by right fielder that makes a double into a triple: So the run that scored was on base via an error and the runner on third was there due to poor defense. The next batter hit a sac fly. That's two runs that weren't deGrom's fault. Then deGrom made a mistake by allowing a solo homer with two outs. That one was on him.Still, all three runs in the inning were unearned. Through six innings, the Mets were only able to provide two runs in support of deGrom in the notoriously hitter-friendly Coors Field against one of the worst teams in baseball.deGrom's final line: 6 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 14 KHe now has a 0.45 ERA and the Mets were very nearly 0-3 in his starts, which was, again, a pretty depre sing trend. In 2020, they Rod Carew Jersey found a way to go 8-4 in deGrom's starts. A big part of that, of course, was his 2.38 ERA. That season appears to be the outlier here. In 2019, the Mets were 14-18 while deGrom posted a 2.43 ERA. In 2018, the Mets went 14-18 in deGrom's starts while he posted a 1.70 ERA. The most bewildering thing here was the Mets were actually -- prior to Anthony Rendon Jersey the nightcap -- 5-1 when deGrom doesn't start in 2021. This entire picture made absolutely no sense and it was out-of-control ridiculous. We were witne sing an all-time great extended run of pitching and the Mets were about to be just 36-43 while deGrom is doing it.However, Saturday was different. deGrom was due up to hit second in the top of the seventh. After a single, he was lifted for pinch hitter and the Mets came through for deGrom. Villar doubled to tie the game and, after a infield single, singled home the go-ahead run. shut the door in the bottom half the Mets won a game that Jacob deGrom started. He even got the win.The Mets are now 1-2 in deGrom's starts. He's 1-1 with a 0.45 ERA and 0.67 WHIP. It should Cody Allen Jersey be 3-0, but, hey, you gotta start somewhere. Maybe the Mets' late comeback in Coors will shake the baseball Gods into shape regarding deGrom's support.
