deGrominator going tonight! We will all hold our breath. No restrictions per Rojas. Conforto starts rehab assignment tonight. Carrasco has resumed throwing. McNeil and Almora could be activated any day now. Mets keep rolling. LFGM!
Rotator cuff would be season ending and probably never same pitcher again .
Praying 🙏
My guess is its sore because he's been overcompensating for the other issues.
Either way, he needs to get shut down for 2 weeks and heal.
And its coming at the worst time possible.
I have yo believe if it's a capsule tear there's no way he finishes the inning, and certainly not with 100 mph heat, right?
I'm going to stay positive. The only thing I'm bummed about is that he had 8 ks through 3 perfect innings, and you always think that something special could happen anytime deGrom is on the mound, and to have that start in this game, tonight could've been the night.
Very possible he could've chased 20 Ks tonight. Would've only needed to strikeout 12 of 18 of the remaining batters, which for deGrom is child's play.
Its going to be sad if deGrom is robbed of something that could have been truly special.

For the absolute best but shoulder is also potentially the worst

Agreed. He was dealing. I’m gonna think he’s been overcompensating for one strain or another. Just shut him down and deal with it. Bats just need to be really alive now and we can weather this.

My thoughts as well. Cautiously optimistic since he finished the inning strong. Shut him down for a couple weeks. Sign a Porcello or Bartolo in the meantime.
and have him and all his equipment with me at all times.
He is in the midst of one of the all time greatest seasons a pitcher has ever had - even now that might be in jeopardy - let alone the Mets playoff chances reduce without him.
if he's so fragile - and they knew going in to the game he had a lingering issue - he might not be getting the best medical advice.
IOW - is the same guy who told Nimmo his ligament tear was nerve damage also the guy telling deGrom he's fine to make his next start (tonight)?
because I don't trust that guy.
Maybe they should get a diagnosis first?

No, that's his symptom. They still have to do an MRI to do a proper diagnosis, which will likely happen tomorrow.
I honestly dont like pushing him. I'd go to Gsellman for the last two. Or even use Smith for one of them.
We got this one.
Good call. Hope he’s making strides.
Anyone hear how his stuff was when it was on?
Yeah his in game decisions seem to be getting better. Loved that move too.
He doesn’t pitch regularly as the last man out of the bullpen so he will have nights where it just isn’t working.
Loving the speed and defense
It was a nice move. Well, 10 games up, a 5-1 start to a home stand against winning teams and everyone feels crappy. Hope for good new on DeGrom!
Yup. Heal up those nagging issues. I dont care if his MRI is 100% clean. Shut him down.
So it is unlikely to be a tear. I guess it could be a sign that a rotator cuff is imminent but almost certainly no serious structural damage yet
Degrom also said he was confident it was nothing serious
without question
