Viking Invasion

Syndergaard's last six starts:
Runs allowed: 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 0
Innings pitched: 8, 6, 8, 7, 5, 8

That's your basic 1.28 ERA and 0.74 WHIP

That's not pitching, it's pillaging.

Good job Noah. You get the Magnus ver Magnusson stamp of approval.

With half of those walks coming in one game.

Noah's been exponentially better than I thought he would be since joining the majors. Based on the limited number of times I had seen him in spring and the minors, I thought it might take some time for him to adjust, but like Harvey and deGrom, he has burst on to the MLB scene with maturity I didn't give him credit for. He is an absolute joy to watch.

I'm hoping Matz continues the trend that Harvey, deGrom and Noah started.

Frank Viola should get some sort of award.

Terry said almost the exact same thing post-game last night, that everyone knew in advance about the heat and the potential and the works-in-progress secondary pitches, but that he in no way saw how quickly the physical and mental parts would all come together.

Re: Viking Invasion

Keep in mind that Syndegaard was called up a full year after most people thought he would be. Also keep in mind that it was done for baseball reasons, not for money reasons.

Looks like a bit of a chubster. But I'm betting he could already strike every one of us out even then.

He reminds me a little bit of the bully on Everybody Hates Chris.

I'm wondering if that's a t-shirt for a metal band, because he kind of has that look here.

If not for Kris Bryant, we might have very well been looking at a RoTY double.

I'm thinking there were more than a few HS girls who are kicking themselves now for ignoring "that nerdy creep" back in sophomore year.
