I haven't spent much time talking about Noah Syndergaard this season, but after his second straight start of 8 IP (8.0 IP, 2 ER, 7 Hits, 0 BBs, 9 Ks against the Nationals), it's time for a little chat. Thor's numbers this year are just as sexy as the 2-0 Changeup he threw Yunel Escobar for a swinging strike one: 2.65 FIP, 9.45 K/BB, 2.08 BB/9, and a hard contact rate of only 23.5%, while averaging over six innings per start. Those are elite numbers that are not going away. Given that he'll reach at most 180 innings at his current pace (including the minors) and how the Mets are well in the hunt for a playoff spot, there's little reason to believe that Syndergaard will not be pitching through September. Be happy, laugh with glee, and do not sell the man with the glorious yellow hair. He's a keeper.
