No, it hasn't been announced yet, but let's be real, as the sun rises, this is happening. So I'm just putting this up here now to save us all a little bit of trouble later today.
If, by some insane fucking miracle, he doesn't win, then this can be our latest version of "The Red Sox Just Moved Into Their New Season-Long Home" thread. Ahhhhh, the good old days.

is it time we re-evaluate our stances that a dominant ace is necessary to take a team to the playoffs/deep/far in the playoffs?

No, it isn’t. Look at last year’s Astros and this year’s Red Sox. Plus the Dodgers with Kershaw. You need pitching but you need other this too, things that the Phillies and Mets lacked. |

Deservingly so. It was insane how inept the Mets offense was. I forget the stat but there were so many games in which he gave up 1 or less runs and yet left without the Mets having a lead. There were a few games down the stretch where he himself as a hitter was responsible for the only runs scored for that team.

There were a few games down the stretch where he himself as a hitter was responsible for the only runs scored for that team. Putting aside the futility of the bullpen (which blew 8 leads for him this year), if the Mets had managed to score a paltry 2 runs per game in every deGrom start and the bullpen held on to, say, 4 of those 8 blown leads, he would have had 17 wins. If they scored 3 runs and applied the same bullpen rule, he would have had 22 wins. If they had scored 4 runs (hahaha, the Mets scoring 4 runs, I know, but follow me), and again having the bullpen blow 4 of the leads, he'd have gone 27-0. I know, I know, bullpens blow leads for everybody and guys get tough luck losses, but I'd never seen anybody be so consistently dominant and come away with nothing more than a notch in the "quality start" column. |

Congrat to deGrom. He is probably the best Mets pitcher since Doc. Though, I still don't like the idea of undermining wins.

Yup, I remember seeing that 27-0 type stat somewhere too, it was just insane the level of incompetence the Mets offense had during his starts. He literally had to go out there and pitch perfect baseball just to get a damn win. |

At least he had a winning record. Ok with me. |

Out of the 80s Mets starting rotation, I thought he was the one with the stuff that most likely to throw a no-hitter. He was too fat to finish a game. |
