Am I the only one having trouble getting on board with this nickname?

it took me a while to figure out who it was referring to. i assume its syndergaard, because he has a nordic name thing going on.

If he warms up to Kiss's GOD OF THUNDER 'twould be worth it. Also, it requires he play along by growing long blonde locks, not the buzzcut he's presently sporting.

not a huge fan, but it's a lot easier to type Thor than Syndergaard (which is surprising easy to spell actually)

Thor, since he swings a big hammer, is really more for a batter than a pitcher.

Syndergaard himself apparently hasn't fully embraced that name either, as he's been known to write various things on his glove for inspiration but hasn't gotten around to that one yet.

I saw him interviewed on Mets Hot Stove. He says the nickname comes from the similarity between "Syndergaard" and "Asgard".

Gives pretty good interview for a youngster. Comes off as genuine without seeming too bullshitty, or too revealing. Good quality for a jock to have.

Or, y'know, a guy who brings power stuff AND drops a big hammer? If the name's just a phonic-similarity thing, hell, why not go with the synonymous "Hearth Screen?"

My daughter is a huge Avengers fan. She says Hawkeye is the unappreciated Avenger.

Better known as an X-Man, The Beast was once an Avenger a well..

Apparently some of his teammates have tabbed Syndergaard with the handle of 'Viking' - which I guess is kinda like Thor.

Does he look anything like Fran Tarkenton?
