Noah Syndergaard Did Something Wednesday Night The Phillies Could Not Do All Year

If these two competitive, dramatic MLB wild-card games this week have not shown you how far the Phillies are from being serious World Series contenders again, then maybe this statistic about New York Mets ace Noah Syndergaard will.

Noah Syndergaard threw 42 pitches 98+ mph tonight. That’s more than the Phillies (41) and Indians (35) threw all year. #Thor

Thor couldn’t bring home the victory for the Metropolitans, but he did bring the heat.
