Walking off the mound Wednesday evening, having given up an awful\u00a0one<\/em> run in six innings, deGrom’s otherworldly ERA+ had fallen to 744, only about triple that produced by the greatest pitchers in the greatest seasons of all time.<\/p>\n DeGrom has given up exactly two earned runs this season in 35 innings. Both have resulted in losses. His record is 2-2, probably the most spectacular 2-2 in history. He’s pretty much been snakebitten his entire career; remember, this guy won two straight Cy Youngs being a\u00a0total<\/em> of four games over .500.<\/p>\n Several times this season deGrom has helped himself at the plate. (Maybe that’s the only way he can get a W.) Alas, ol’ Jake was 0-2 with the bat on Wednesday, his average crashing down to .462.<\/p>\n Still not bad, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I knew the deGrom jinx would work.
