There I said it, and I know you feel bad too. Syndergaard threw the game of his life. He allowed no runs against the San Francisco Giants in a Wild Card game. He essentially gave Madison Bumgarner a run for his money — yes the Mets didn’t score but neither did the Giants against Syndergaard.
Bumgarner had no cushion. He had no run support. And that’s all because of Syndergaard. Thor let no runs score. He did his job. He kept the Wild Card game scoreless through seven innings.
And then he was taken out of the game.
