Thoughts on a 5-0 Rangers win

  • Man, Jacob deGrom is good. And is good as a member of the Texas Rangers, to boot.
  • Just 81 pitches to go seven innings. He had a shot at a Maddux if Bruce Bochy and the Rangers weren’t being cautious with his workload.
  • deGrom’s approach was pretty simple. He threw mostly fastballs and sliders, and the Nationals couldn’t handle it. He did throw 7 changeups, but they mostly went for balls. He generated 10 whiffs on the slider and 5 on the fastball.
  • Eight Ks on the game for deGrom. No walks, though he hit a batter, and two base hits.
