Albert Belle trashes Jacob deGrom for string of injuries (Video)

Albert Belle did not hold back on Jacob deGrom’s delayed return due to his injuries in a radio interview on Friday. 

The New York Mets are in a tight spot right now with their best pitcher, Jacob deGrom, out due to injury. CBS Sports reported that the ace will sit out for another two weeks due to forearm soreness. This could be serious with September right around the corner and the Mets sitting at the No. 2 spot in the NL East as of Aug 13.

The great Albert Belle would agree with these sentiments, going as far as saying that the ace is pretty much letting his team down at this point.

Albert Belle took to WFAN to state his displeasures with Jacob deGrom and the Mets future for the season

Belle hopped on WFAN on Friday to talk about his outlook on deGrom, Mike Trout and other players who were subjected to injury throughout the season. deGrom, who’s been out since July is nothing short of a disappointment for the pitcher. He was on pace for an MVP season before the injuries. You can take a listen here:

The old saying goes that excuses are tools of the incompetent, often building bridges to nowhere. Belle is pretty much echoing that statement in the interview.

How much will this affect the Mets is truly up to Father Time, especially when deGrom is still in recovery mode. But his own future doesn’t bode well if he keeps up with the constant bout of injury.
