The Mets Are Pathetic

[Draft Post, June 14, 2018]

On Wednesday, June 13, Mets starter Jacob deGrom lost his seventh game of the season in which he allowed one or zero runs.

Those seven losses ties a record for the most such starts by a pitcher in a season since the mound was moved to its current distance in 1893.

In his last 10 starts, deGrom has an 0.87 ERA (6 earned runs in 62.1 innings). The Mets have won only two of those 10 games.

The Mets just ended a streak of nine games in which they did not score in more than one inning. That's the longest streak in MLB since the 1978 A's also went nine games. The longest streak before that? 10 games by the 1964 Mets (managed by Casey Stengel).

The Mets went 1-8 in these recent nine games and scored a total of 10 runs.

They endured a span of 35 innings in which they scored one run (from the seventh inning on June 2 through the end of the game on June 6).
