HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

At the time of this writing, he's 2-0 with a 1.59 ERA with the Angels. When I saw those stats, I got sad that he wasn't part of the Mets' current rotation, but that feeling of sadness only lasted about two seconds. The reason why is because I realized that Anaheim agrees with him. I know he's from TX, but Cali is more Noah's style than NY, that's for sure. He was done in New York; you could just tell from his "aura" (a very Californian term) last year when he was going through a dramatic rehab and ended up pitching only one inning. Now watch him strike out 383 batters this year.

Syndergaard should be remembered for his duel in the 2016 one-game playoff. He pitched brilliantly, but that memory is already mostly faded because the Mets lost.

I have a clear, unforgettable memory of him from before game two of the 2015 NLDS against the Dodgers. He had a crazed look on his face while he was warming up in the bullpen at Dodger Stadium- he had his "1000 yard stare" or his "war face" on; either one would be an accurate description.

Oh, and I remember when he had a setback in his rehab process last year, he posted a clip on his twitter account from the movie the Naked Gun, the part where there is an exploding building behind Frank Drebin and he's saying, "There's nothing to see here! Please disperse! There's nothing to see here!" That was a funny way of breaking the bad news that he wasn't coming back anytime soon, and in the end, it was a signal that the Mets had to move on.

In the end, Noah didn't fulfill his potential in NY, at least over the course of a full season. Flashes of brilliance but too wild. Sounds like another guy from TX who pitched for the Mets.

Spent too much time in the weight room, and not nearly enough time on the mound. Had some great moments, but he will be remembered as a big disappointment due to his inability to stay healthy. Made some serious money for his limited success. Goodbye and Good Luck.

@ Hot Foot: Can you say “small sample size?” As of THIS writing, he is 1-4 with a 6.54 ERA for the Dodgers after finishing last year 10-10, 3.94 for the Angels and Phillies.

The only Mets pitcher from Texas he reminds me of is Mike Bacsik.

I had a couple of recent thoughts on the former Thor (that I would have kept to myself without Stu's prompting), the first of which being that I listened to part of the Boomer and Gio show from yesterday and they played the audio clip of Noah saying that he would give his "hypothetical first born to be his old self again" to which Gio humorously responded with something like, and I'm paraphrasing, "What's your old self? Two innings in two years with a hugely inflated ego?" If you don't think that's funny, I guess you had to be there.

Also, the LA Times posted an article saying that something like "the Noah Syndergaard experiment must end" and I wanted to cut and paste large portions of the article onto this page for chuckles but I didn't have the time or energy to spend an hour writing a hot take to complement that source material, so here is the link and I'll let it speak for itself. It's pretty bad, and bad for Noah (and the Dodgers), not bad regarding the sportswriting.

Stu, I did not think really Noah was going to have 383 strikeouts last year, but I was impressed that his ERA was 3.83 for the Angels. That counts for something, right? I DID think he might have 200 strikeouts, but he ended up with a laughable 95. I wonder how many closers had more.

This year, he's been atrocious for the Dodgers. My take on him this year is number one, he needs a haircut. All that long hair carries his past auric energy of the golden Thor, now broken and lifeless, clinging to the back of an aging head. A Marines style buzz cut would do him good, as well as a month in basic training with no more than 1500 calories per day. The former Thor looks really out of shape this year. He's not Bartolo Colon fat, he's approaching an R.A. Dickey level of girthiness, and not in a good way. Something about his obvious increased weight seems off, as if it's poorly distributed throughout his body and is messing with his mechanics. He needs to get back to his weight from early in his career in order to possibly increase the velocity of his fastball, which has dropped to a high of 92-93 MPH tops these days.

He's willing to give his "hypothetical firstborn" to be his old self again, but is he willing to cut his hair and stop eating so much?

If not, he should just lean into his newfound girthiness and develop a short-armed knuckleball. Then he might become a 20 game winner for a year and get traded for a couple of prospects.
