Ace of the staff so far this season? For my money, he's been every bit as good as Harvelous (which is not knocking what Matt has been doing in any way). His last few starts have been works of art.

I think we already have two superhero nicknames too many. Yeah, let's try harder than that. [list]I call him The Long Night, because it's always a long night for the opposition when he pitches.

Front page article in the New York Times: Syria? Gaza? DRC? Nope. "Jacob deGrom, a Met Known for His Hair, May (Gasp!) Cut It."
