I think his height is working against him. Theres nothing wrong with his velocity. Greg Maddaox wishes his average fastball was 92 mph. but he's not keeping any of his pitches down which works well when you can overpower the hitter but 92 mph has to be anywhere but where he is throwing.
And that’s a deep fly ball to left field and that’s a homerun for Castellanos. I consider myself a man of faith. Is the single greatest Reds call of all time. Sorry Reds Brenneman is all anyone remembers about you.
Yeah. I’m a Phils fan and I’ll admit we got fleeced. Moniak was always a great player. Last year, he was coming off a bad injury and didn’t play too well, but trading him was a mistake.
Always admired Syndergaard from afar as a Giants fan. Dude was the opposing pitcher in two iconic Giant games - Chris Heston's no-hitter, and the 2016 NL Wild Card game between him and Bumgarner, the latter being an absolute banger pitcher's duel. Really sucks to see him go out like this. I hope he figures it out again eventually, just not with the Dodgers though lol
We would have loved to be able to help him for the entire offseason instead of just a short eval. His mechanical and physical issues were quite clear and we’re confident he could throw 100 again if he found a plan he would stick to that honed in on these factors.
In the first inning he ever threw as a Dodger, he was 2 strikes away from an immaculate inning, and he went 6 innings with just 1 earned run and 6 strikeouts. Ever since then he's been a liability to my team
Well they should have kept Bauer since they were already paying him 25 million…dudes been elite in Japan after a rough first 3 games (expected after 2 years out of the game)
I’m a Braves fan, and I had nothing but a healthy amount of respect for his prime. He was fierce. I never like seeing a player decline due to injury. This isn’t the way I wanted to see a competitor go out.
As far as the 1 sided trade of Dickey for Syndergaard (and others), Dickey won 59 games after the trade and so far Syndergaard has won 58. And Dickey retired 6 years ago. I know after the trade Dickey was a league average, middle of the rotation, innings eater but there's certainly value in staying healthy and throwing innings.
That's a really good point. Dickey was an innings-eater, something the Mets's starting rotation lacked. Even Bartolo Colon was not a finisher like Dickey.
You know, when he turned down his QO from the Mets at 18 million to go to the Angels I was sad to see him go, but obviously knew he was not the same pitcher. My sadness was, why not stay with the Steve Cohen owned Mets, work with your guys who you’ve known for years, lean on some of our pitchers etc. I think he might have turned things back around if he had of stayed for 3 million less than Anaheim paid him. I think, perhaps we should take a look and see if we can get him back? Maybe pitch out of the BP as a set up man?
A fireballer throws his arm out, tries to come back and no longer has his old stuff, and gets constantly shelled. Stop me if you've heard this story before.
Poor kid.. hope he finds it again! Just saw him and his lady on the Redondo Beach bike path last week of June! As a retired player myself (pitcher), it’s very difficult to reinvent oneself!
As a Cubs fan, I feel bad for him. Tommy John really killed his career. He was the feared pitcher in 2015-2017. I just wonder how he might come back ever since the Phillies needed him during their 2022 World Series run.
That 2015 World Series team arguably had the best starting pitching rotations of all time: Harvey, deGrom, Thor, Matz, Colon how they lost the fall classic still baffles me
For starters, the offense wasn't good enough. After his crazy feats in the NLDS and NCLS, Daniel Murphy was nowhere to be found. Cespedes only hit 2 home runs in October and both were in the NLDS against the Dodgers. The Royals pitching staff that year was good enough, but not exactly dominant. The best offensive player for the Mets that World Series was Curtis Granderson. Conforto had his moment in Game 4 and the team had a good output in Game 3, but for what they had, the offense really underperformed And then of course, there was another theme that has plagued the Mets for years and years now: their inability to hold on to leads in the late innings. While he puled up alot of saves that year, Familia is no Edwin Diaz and him taking the mound in the 9th made fans more nervous than anything, and he never could just shut the door that World Series. Defense failed them as well. Murphy and Duda both made crucial errors in the late innings. The Royals took advantage of that and with the Mets somewhat lackluster offense, they simply stayed patients until the game was in the hands of the bullpen before they started to go off
One other thing to note is how well he swung the bat. Batted at or above .200 his first 3 seasons and even had some HR power. A moot point in todays game but still added to his reputation as THOR.
This is so sad first deGrom and now Syndergaard. 2015 the second half was just amazing and I fell in love with these two players. I just can’t believe how they’ve ended up. I know deGrom has two Cy Young awards and a rookie of the year… But having a second Tommy John surgery I don’t know how he’s going to make it and to find out I was Syndergaard is failing with the Dodgers is just very sad I had high hopes for him this year.
It always blows my mind almost like we need a case study when i see players like Syndergaard and DeGrom who were the most dominant pictures we saw in some years just completely losing their powers. It's happened to a few pitchers in the past 5 to 10 years
I remember when that Big 4 of Sydergaard, DeGrom, Matz and Harvey all arrived, I told my fellow Mets fan that idk how we can keep all of them financially and if I had to pick two, I would take Syndergaard and Matz, bc Thor had seemingly limitless potential and Matz had what looked like top lefty stuff which is hard to find. Years later, both are struggling to stay relevant, as is Harvey. It’s really sad to see
I had to stop at 4:25. That's NOT a pitcher. Thor is just throwing the ball. His form is whacky. Maybe I'm just spoiled with TB/Momentum basically giving away free "How to be a Pitcher" videos but god damn.
It worked out. We have Marsh from you guys now, who's easily our best CF since Victorino. Mickey had too much pressure here being a number 1 overall pick. He needed a change of scenery. Same could be said for Marsh, I think.
Notice how it's the crazy speed throwers always dying out early. There's a reason no one throws a slider 95 mph, it pushes the human body's limits and eventually they break. As a Detroit fan, Joel Zumaya was amazing but 103+ is not normal and all it took was guitar hero to ruin it. The faster it is, the shorter the career
Guys like Seaver knew how to pitch and when to turn it up. That’s why they lasted. These guys want to strut with every pitch over 100mph. They throw hard, but they are not pitchers. There is all physical, zero mental with these guys.
I hope he can bounce back, always been a fan of his. Yeah his velocity isn't going to come back because of injuries and age catching up but at least he knows that and is trying to adapt accordingly. I think once he gets his pitch arsenal sorted and a few reps with said arsenal he could make a recovery.
His fastball is still averaging 93-95. It's crazy how Kershaw went through a rough stretch when he lost his velocity on his fastball, but he still adjusted. Now he's more dominating than ever at times, I don't get how Noah can't seem to manage with a fastball that averages around 94, that's still good enough to get guys out. His secondary pitches must really suck .
A big issue for him is that while his fastball dipped in velo, his change up didn't. So he throws a 93 MPH fastball with like a 90-91 change up, which...doesn't change anything up, lol
Kinda crazy how quickly that 2015 Mets pitching staff fell apart after how great they were as a unit that year. Only one still going at a relatively high level is DeGrom, who is at times the best pitcher in baseball, but he just can’t stay on the field
His chances of ever being successful again depend entirely on him being able to learn how to move and place his pitches. So many guys now can throw it 96+, but once that velo comes down over the years or towards the end of a season, they don't have much to go with it.
@@abyz1467 I get that but Cleveland is always cash strapped . Instead of coming up with the cash to pay someone they got it from LA and put it in their pocket .
I remember when he came back and said he put on 15 lbs of muscle after an injury and thought to myself "he's gonna get injured". First start, tore his lat lol. Guy needs to realize strength isn't what he needed, pliability was/is.
Just want to mention, last year he pitched in a 6-man rotation with the Angels. Once he was traded to the Phillies he faced only bottom 5 teams (Wshx3, Cinx2, Miax2, Pit, SF). Big credit to his agent deserves more
I think Syndergaard and even Harvey and deGrom are perfect examples to young pitchers today that just because u can throw 100, doesn't mean you should. The harder you try to throw, the greater chance your mechanics are gonna be a tick off, and you're also giving the ball less time to move, which equates to a poorly located flat pitch, in Syndergaards case, his sinker. In Harvey and deGroms case, constant nagging injuries. Very few sinkerballers maintain consistency throwing it 99 mph. Pedro was a 4 seam guy but the same principle applies. Pedro would hover around 93-95 then if he got in a jam he'd suddenly be at 97 when he needed it. That's the difference between a pitcher and a thrower. People remember the couple times Chapman hit 105. Ppl don't remember that each time the ball was nowhere near the zone. That's one of the aspects of pitching metrics I hate. Teaching young kids to empty the tank in 5 innings and throw at 100% each time. You have 16 yr olds getting TJ surgery on a ligament not even fully developed yet.
I remember the wild card game when Noah was taken out of the game and I said, big mistake. The Giants were hanging on by a thread- they were not playing great baseball at that time and I believed the Mets had a better chance at winning. Unfortunately, the removal of Noah from the game made it all go down hill. It really is puzzling to see a pitcher like Noah lose what he had. He used to throw 🔥 I can't say it is age because I don't believe he is too old to keep playing. Whatever brought him to the point of shot mechanics, may be fixable if he can get help and figures it out.
@@MikeNapoli1989 Matt Harvey played for the Mets for five seasons and then bounced around. That is what happens when a pitcher does not accept his mechanics are shot. Jacob Degrom having Tommy John surgery, and numerous stints on the injured list, may be the end for him. He is thirty- four years old, and by the time he heals, and is able to play again, he will be thirty-six. Noah has done a bit of bouncing around. I think he is done, but it sure would be nice to be wrong. Even though he is not with the Mets anymore, I like him and would like to see him work the kinks out of what is troubling him.
Seems a little premature. The dominant syndergard is certainly gone for good. But a pitcher that can hold a ~4 era is still a huge asset. He was awesome for the Phillies especially in the playoffs. I think he can figure it out and stay in the league. “Then failed prospect Mickey moniak” let’s slow the roll on that haha
The most troubling thing about Syndergaard is after he got rocked he said something about giving up his hypothetical first born to be the pitcher he used to be. He needs to realize that isn't going to happen and how to pitch, not just hurl. Either that or he's gonna get DFA'd
All these Mets star pitchers just hit rock bottom, Harvey, Noah, Degrom (cant stay healthy). Being a Mets fan for decades I heard all the nicknames for these guys, however this video is the first time I ever heard Noah called "Synderella"
And do we think he is done for good? Is he really so old he can’t come out of this? I get it if he is hurt he can’t do it but I do think he might be able to work his way out of it if he could have been healthy
they should try him out of the bullpen, maybe even closer. if nothing else it would be awesome for "Thor" to come out to AC/DC's Thunderstruck. if that doesn't get his confidence going, nothing will.
Can you make a video on Rich Harden? No one has made a video on him. I feel like he could have been one of the most dominant RHP of the 00s and 10s had he not been injured so much and no one talks about him.
I was a huge fan of Noah when he was a Met. I felt bad that every year, there was always talk of him getting traded. That probably has an effect on you as a player. Still I wasn’t a fan of the trash talking he did about the Mets afterwards. It was enough that I don’t particularly care about his career downturn right now. But there was a time when he was the man. Although I always maintained that deGrom was the true Ace because of his talent and quiet demeanor.
Thor, degrom, Harvey, wheeler, matz all have the same problem in common they played for the Mets. All have had major injuries and with the exception of degrom never lived up to the hype.
So he's basically the poor mans Madison Bumgarner. Dominated the Royals in the World Series, got injured, signed with another team for a lot of money and then got released for not living up to hype.

Mickey Moniak has a 161 ops+ with tye angels this year. .976 ops. He's actually been kind of crazy. The Angels got huge value from Noah in that trade.

The royals were coming off a WS loss and came back stronger. Wish the series at least didn’t end in a lopsided game 5.

Just another Met who should have stayed humble. another meatrag Mets arm that became a pinball machine.
great video
The most troubling thing about Syndergaard is after he got rocked he said something about giving up his hypothetical first born to be the pitcher he used to be. He needs to realize that isn't going to happen and how to pitch, not just hurl. Either that or he's gonna get DFA'd
It's the hair, he looks re gawd damn diculous.
“THAT BALL HAD A FAMILY!” 😭😭
LOVE The Brutal Decline of Noah Syndergaard. Didn't that win the Palm D'or Indie Award at Cannes?
Kinda reminds me of Jake arrieta the way he dominated and then just fell off
Same. He was great in 2015 and 2016 and disappeared.
All these Mets star pitchers just hit rock bottom, Harvey, Noah, Degrom (cant stay healthy). Being a Mets fan for decades I heard all the nicknames for these guys, however this video is the first time I ever heard Noah called "Synderella"
You could say Thor lost his hammer
And do we think he is done for good? Is he really so old he can’t come out of this? I get it if he is hurt he can’t do it but I do think he might be able to work his way out of it if he could have been healthy
they should try him out of the bullpen, maybe even closer. if nothing else it would be awesome for "Thor" to come out to AC/DC's Thunderstruck. if that doesn't get his confidence going, nothing will.
Little insider info here…Syndergaards UCL had been showing signs of issues since 2014
There's a very good reason why you don't throw 95 mph sliders...
Would love to see a video like this on Corey Kluber
Old age just caught up with him
Syndergaard has never learned how to pitch. He needs to go to Atlanta or Tampa so they can fix him.
wtf was that ad placement
I still remember we acquired Noah and when we didn’t bring him back, Mets love to disappoint.
Letting him leave and having him still pitching poorly is a disappointment ?
Can you make a video on Rich Harden? No one has made a video on him. I feel like he could have been one of the most dominant RHP of the 00s and 10s had he not been injured so much and no one talks about him.
Let's have a Brutal Decline of Mike Trout video!
Those power sliders destroy the elbow.
Thor and Luis Severino are very similar, they were flamethrowers with awesome sliders. Now both look lost.
Injuries injuries and more injuries.
I was a huge fan of Noah when he was a Met. I felt bad that every year, there was always talk of him getting traded. That probably has an effect on you as a player. Still I wasn’t a fan of the trash talking he did about the Mets afterwards. It was enough that I don’t particularly care about his career downturn right now. But there was a time when he was the man. Although I always maintained that deGrom was the true Ace because of his talent and quiet demeanor.
"That ball had a family" 😂
Somehow I blame that cameo he had in Game of Thrones lol
Thor, degrom, Harvey, wheeler, matz all have the same problem in common they played for the Mets. All have had major injuries and with the exception of degrom never lived up to the hype.
FYI I Quit watching at the commercial. Paying for RUclips premium should be 100% commercial free.
I always hope maybe his next start will be decent and every single time he gets blown up
So he's basically the poor mans Madison Bumgarner. Dominated the Royals in the World Series, got injured, signed with another team for a lot of money and then got released for not living up to hype.
The Mets had Matt Harvey, Noah, and DeGrom. And other than DeGrom they flamed out due to injuries.
How do you figure DeGrom hasn't flamed out to injury. Dude is out for probably two seasons now and can never stay healthy.
@@anthonymaslow798 but not like the other guys. He stayed healthy and dominant a lot longer than the other two
