The Norse God of Vituperation

In case you've missed the action, a pattern is developing, wherein Noah Syndergaard apparently is having trouble not calling people "douche" on social media.

First came the shot at Bryce Harper on Instagram. Now, there may or may not be any number of reasons to drop "Douche" on Bryce Harper, but this seemingly came out of nowhere, as unprovoked as a beanball.

But now he seems to have gone after an innocent (if dopey) fan.

Either somebody has Syndergaard's password for two different social media platforms, or the Mets' top pitcher is way off of Jay Horwitz's ranch.

Doesn't seem like that's how it went down. if Thor seems to have been commenting on the "Thor fittingly wore a crown last night" and it seems like he was referring to himself.

There's a very fine line between Syndergaard and Harvey that the former is toeing, let's just put it that way.

Yeah, I was concerned that I saw him warming up for that role back in April.

I don't think he's toeing any line. I think he's crossed it.

Bryce Harper may certainly seem like a douche. He comes across as arrogant, doesn't run out some fly balls, and has that haircut. But has only ever been respectful and humble when he actually opens his mouth. Plus all of his teammates except Papelbon seem to like him.

Noah went out and called him a douche. If this is true, this is not right. I get that they are young and this sort of thing probably happens, but he is a professional, and he should conduct himself like one.

Harvey may be guilty of acting douchy, but he's never outright insulted another player completely unprovoked.

Let's hope this was a lapse in judgment and not a sign of things to come.

Maybe they're really best buds and he's just ragging on him

I've always liked Harper from when he said "that's a clown question bro" to the dumbass reporter who asked him if he was drinking underage

Harper has always struck me as the kind of arrogant yet decent jock who would cut you off in his BMW on his way to conducting a clinic for impoverished kids.
