Don't want to be Debbie Downer, but pitching well against the Mets shouldn't get our hopes too high. Hell, the only reason the Mets' players bring a bat to the plate is because it's a league rule.
Curt Flood used to torment Gibby by telling him when the Cards scored the 1st run "there's your run, Gibby; don't blow it."
I loved Pedro, but Gibson was the best RH pitcher I ever saw.
I can envision deGrom finishing the season with an ERA under 2 and still losing 9 games. That's how anemic the Mets' offense is. Bob Gibson had those two stats in 1968, because the Cards couldn't hit their weight.
