I am hoping as he catches on with a college program, they teach him the correct way to lift Functional lifting seems to be the way to go for pitchers, golfers...etc. Kettlebell and rope work...etc. I can't for the life of me understand how the risk of heavy deadlifting is worth it for some of these guys. I thought Thor would actually be fine because he has some insanely freakish genes, but man. Absolutely brutal first month to a season. Maybe the Mets can pull it together but with this many injuries this early who knows. If they can hang around .500 through the break that has to be considered a win at this point.

Lith Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Well, this certainly clears it up. Looks like he could be out anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months: Most likely a month or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletKnight89 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 The injury to Syndergaard sucks but luckily for us it's only May 1st. It's probably an 8 week recovery time so hopefully by early July he's back on the mound. Honestly, it could have been worse right? Could have lost him for the year. Pitching is this teams strength. We need deGrom and Harvey to step upw now. They're needed big time. Gotta get Matz and Lugo back. Even with the Syndergaard injury yesterday, we did a nice job in DC taking 2 out 3. We just have to weather the injury bug. This team is really talented on paper. Reyes is turning this around. It's time for Granderson and Walker to start hitting, and Gsellman to start pitching well. The Braves are a bad baseball team. We need to go in there and win this series. Even with our injuries we have no excuses. We have Harvey and deGrom going in this series. It's early, but we have to start winning games, get Cespedes back, get Matz back, and then get Noah back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants to throw harder, but look at guys in the 60s, 70s, 80s. Lots of long toss, stuff like that, and they threw 300 innings a year. Of course, they were all washed up by 30, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough situation for the club though.See today how long the lat keeps him out. Guys is too tough for his own good and the Mets should have forced the situation. Despite the blow-out loss on Sunday, I thought the Mts showed more heart this weekend than they had all season. Yeah, I bet he tried push through everything cause he didn't wanna hear about the weights. Coulda been worse tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the $hitshow continues, and I believe it will...on July 31, 2017 I want the lineup and 25 man roster to be as follows: C Plawecki C Carrillo 1B Smith 2B Checccini SS Rosario 3B TJ Rivera Inf Flores Inf Reynolds Inf Rodriguez LF Conforto CF Nimmo RF Taijeron OF Beccera SP deGrom SP Syndergaard SP Wheeler SP Gsellman SP Lugo CL Baldonado RP Robles RP Sewald RP Goeddel RP Smoker RP Pill RP Edgin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Thor is Captain Redass, but the second he starts with the "I know my body" garbage, you give him a choice: get the MRI or go on the DL. The fact that the team just shrugged and sent him back out there is malpractice in every sense of the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deucebag Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Noah is just a redneck kid, his ego got the best of him. Lets hope he learns a lesson from this and he will understand that his fame is as delicate as his lats. We dont know what happened behind the scenes, but I am assuming thor behaved like a obnoxious jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an article on this which explained that every player's contract in Section 2 requires the player to submit to all examinations requested by the team and if a player refuses he can be fined or suspended up to 30 days. So, yes, Sandy could've forced Thor to get an MRI before Sunday's start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no proof that the bicep had anything to do with the lat tear.... yes he should've went for the MRI and yes sandy should've made him, but he didn't and sandy didnt, the bicep is not the injury, haven't read anything YET that says the two are connected. And to be honest, I'd much rather see a guy do what Noah did than a guy contemplating sitting out the playoffs for his own gain. Not that it makes it right.

But... They build a 60 million dollar football stadium. For the town. Sixty Million. Best part it, after less than 2 years, they had to close it for a while because it was unsafe, they contractors did a horrible job in construction.

Citifield is probably one of nicest venues in sports today. Not to mention you could buy the worst seat in the house, never go to your seat and watch the game live from centerfield or the porch even behind some lower level seats and not miss a pitch. Citifield is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
