The most important thing that happened last Tuesday may not have been that Noah Syndergaard hit a home run or pitched 7 1/3 scoreless innings.

Those were fantastic individually and even better collectively, but the thing more likely to have an impact on Syndergaard was the standing ovation he received when Terry Collins removed him from the game after he got the first out of the eighth inning.
