As surprising as it may be to see your favorite pitcher give up 10 runs in three innings, the beauty of baseball is that your fortunes can turn on a dime. It’s also the frustration of baseball, as we just expect all of our heroes to be sublime at all times. When they’re not, we reason that it has more to do with some sort of “big game ability” or some other sort of mental predisposition that certifics us as licensed psychoanalyst. (Although I think all that you really need to be a licensed psychoanalyst is a Twitter account<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Noah Syndergaard put the Cubs start<\/a> behind him and chalked that up to just an ill-timed bad day at the office with his start on Labor Day against the Nationals. And it’s always nice when Syndergaard has a good day at Nationals Park. As much as you might think he has his last start in the back of his mind, I would think that he would have April 30th, 2017<\/a> in the back of his mind every time he takes that particular mound. But if that is indeed the case, he shrugged that off nicely with seven shutout innings (with three hits and ten strikeouts) which led the Mets to a 7-0 victory … a smooth tonic for Syndergaard after Wednesday, and a smoother tonic for the Mets after last night<\/a>.<\/p>\n
