Soothsaying for Sixteen: Noah Syndergaard

[Edgy MD]

I haven't seen you posting in some of these threads calling for a vision of the near future for my teammates. What better chance to show what a buncha know-it-alls you all are.

I'm Noah Syndergaard, and I'm a monster. Want to know what you HAVEN'T had to worry about this season? Sophomore slumps. The Class of Fifteen — Me, Matzy, Conforto... Plawecki even — have been the best story so far in Sixteen.

But that's so far. And as you know, so far ain't all that far. That said, there's a lot of crazy people out there who expect me to mow through the league this season. What do you expect?

This thread has been following me around.

He's like Harvey if Harvey wasn't such a first-class douche.

Cy Young. 20 wins. 250 Ks. WRITE IT DOWN

[Edgy MD]

I'm a little worried that he's put in an application for the Douche Society, and it's up to us to steer him right.

Noah?

[TransMonk]

Early last year, I was worried that he might not have the stomach to be dominant in the majors. I think the confidence he has displayed early this year has elevated his game to where there are no limits.

It happens. I'm not here to judge. I just worry.

The nu girlfriend puts me off. And he's buying too deeply into the Thor persona. Plus talking big after a brushback. I know a lot of people loved that last one, but I don't want to see him swinging Harvey's way.

Matz is closer to Harveyesque doucheism than Syndy, IMO.

[Lefty Specialist]

Sky.



That's pretty much the limit.

No way, nope, not at all.

Cy Syndergaard has a nice ring to it. Really nice.

I lack sufficient Matzdata.

Anyone read this piece by Verducci (iirc) that says no way can Thor sustain his performance? I read it earlier today, I'll have to find it for a link.
What a bunch of tripe.
