Noah Syndergaard challenges Royals to fight him after first pitch controversy
Noah Syndergaard certainly doesn’t seem too terribly put off by how upset the Kansas City Royals are over his up-and-in first pitch to Alcides Escobar on Friday night.
Not only did Syndergaard admit that the pitch was on purpose, but he essentially challenged the Royals to fight him if they had a problem with it.
Noah Syndergaard does not mince words. He pretty much told the Royals to fight him. pic.twitter.com/RfbzBGEvlU

Noah Syndergaard told d'Arnaud in afternoon first pitch would be up and in. "I feel like it really made a statement to start the game off."
