Summary

The Nats were held scoreless 6-0 Friday night in New York as Jacob deGrom stole the show. Al & Mark tip their caps to the best pitcher in the game after he struck out 15 and only allowed two hits.  (13:02) Free agent additions Josh Bell & Kyle Schwarber are both hitting below. 200. How soon before this changes from early season slump to long-term concern? The hosts then analyze Erick Fedde's outing as he was unscathed through four innings before it fell off the rails in the fifth. (24:08) They close by looking at the defense from the loss and a look ahead to Joe Ross' Saturday start. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Here's the pitch.

Strike three called, slide into the inside corner at the knees, and there it is. 15th strikeout, a new career high for Jacob de Grom.

He has fanned six nationals in a row. You know, I've been in this league a long time. That's one of

1:08.1

And on Friday night, the name became a verb when it came to Jacob de Grom because the

nationals got de Grombed, a six-nothing loss at the New York Mets in game one of a three-game series.

1:20.7

The extent to which de Grom, the best pitcher on the planet right now, was dominant, cannot be
