Noah Syndergaard and Bobby Ojeda

Don’t be too cute. Do what you do.

Don’t show the Royals your entire arsenal early.

The Mets are down 0-2 in the World Series, having suffered a one-run loss in Game 1 and six-run beating in Game 2.

Back in 1986, the Mets were down 0-2 to the Red Sox, having suffered a one-run loss in Game 1 and a six-run beating in Game 2.

Then the Series turned around in Fenway Park with Bobby Ojeda throwing a masterpiece.

The same can happen Friday night at Citi Field if rookie Noah Syndergaard can put the Mets on his back and dominate with his fearsome fastball after the Royals won the first two games with aces Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom starting for the Mets

Ojeda has been there and he offered this sage advice to Syndergaard and the Mets Thursday.
