The Mets are placing Noah Syndergaard on the 10-day disabled list after he contracted hand, foot and mouth disease, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com was among those to tweet. The club doesn’t expect it to be a long-term issue, per DiComo, and it believes he contracted the illness while working at a kids camp over the All-Star break, David Lennon of Newsday adds.
This is the second DL stint of the year for Syndergaard, who just returned on July 13 after missing nearly two months with a finger injury. It also continues an almost comical run of bad injury luck for the Mets dating back to last season, when a host of important players (including Syndergaard) began hitting the DL. This year has been more of the same for New York, which has stumbled to a 40-56 record and last place in the National League East.
With the Mets serving as deadline sellers this summer, Syndergaard has been an oft-speculated trade candidate. The Mets aren’t actively shopping him, however, and would understandably require an enormous return in order to move the flamethrowing 25-year-old. Even though he has only totaled 105 innings since last year (74 2/3 this season), Syndergaard remains one of the majors’ most valuable starters. While Syndergaard has racked up just 13 starts this year, he has already accumulated 2.3 fWAR, thanks to a 2.89 ERA/2.56 FIP and 10.0 K/9 against 1.81 BB/9.
This team is cursed. This only happens to the Mets
I told you he was most injury-prone, even though he came with one of the most team control (thru 2021)
You can’t seriously consider hand foot and mouth disease a result of him being injury prone
@redsfan48 Exactly lmao catching that is just bad luck basically
Or a good plan to meet Cespedes on the DL so that they can golf for a few weeks again.
Bad luck would happen if it was another team.
This is simply the Mets’ Way.
There’s only one solution: clean house from top to bottom.
Boycott the Mets!
No ticket purchases,period.
Do NOT Watch SNY
Force change.
It is kind of comical tho and serious at the same time. kind of like when jed Lowrie got mono when he was with Boston… Serious stuff, just not illnesses one sees, except in extreme rare occurrences from ballplayers.
Jays are right up there…. ironically, we traded him and d’arnaud to you. That should tell you all you need to know.
Jays players play on concrete. If you don’t think that’s significant first put on a pair of work boots and walk around on a concrete floor for 8 hours. When your knees and back hurt, then tune in and watch vladdy Guerrero walk around at the hof or Andre Dawson. It hurts watching those guy walks around. It’s no wonder Donaldson has had calf issues for two years now.
Ridiculous after all these years Toronto still does not have natural grass.
1 – Jays shared the field with the Canadian Football team up until a couple years ago.
2 – Costs would be upwards of $400-million to insert natural grass.
3 – Their roof does not let in sunlight. Because of Toronto’s weather they’d have to keep the roof closed for most of the calendar year.
So, that’s why they haven’t switched surfaces.
Actually they were working with the Univeristy of Guelph on a way to install real grass. It was all set to go in before Shapiro came in and it didn’t happen after. They instead chose to put in real dirt in the infield. It will take a life threatening injury like Pillar almost had for them to do something now.
I mean Pillar suffered that injury on the road, and the study that they underwent was led by Shapiro and they deemed it financially un-feasible. It’s not like they aren’t un-aware of it, there just isn’t much they can do outside of building a new stadium which won’t happen anytime soon.
And pitchers for the Angels
I’m a Mets fan and I’m really starting to get sick of this pathetic team
This team is cursed. This only happens to
the Mets
I mean it does happen frequently, but the angels might have the Mets beat.
Yeah to children.
The numbers may be aimilar, but I do have to admit the Mets injuries are much odder and more unavailable. Meanwhile the Angels seem to helping create or at least increase the likelihood of most of theirs.
That is flat out STUPID. Angels did not create even the likelihood of their injuries.
Every one of those pitchers had a previous history of injuries or recovering.
Now Heany, Skaggs and Tropeano are done with their surgeries and next year they get Romero, Shoemaker, Meyers and Middleton back…Stupid!
No … no it doesn’t happen frequently.
Well the Angels are the Mets west.
There’s only one way to end this soap opera:
Join the boycott.
Stop supporting the Wilpon’s farce.
Do not buy tickets.
Do not Watch SNY.
Simple
Otherwise you can blame yourself
The choice is YOURS!
Herpes
No, it’s a Coxsackie virus.
When’s the expansion? I wanna change to a Portland fan
I’d rather see a contraction. Get Tampa, Miami, and San Diego out of baseball. Horrible for the game. Just a waste
add south Chicago in there. Owner cares only for himself
Cursed.
Odd disease to acquire….
What the hell?!
That’s because he always puts his foot in mouth when he talks!
As for his hand, he is always fixing his hair after a pitch.
What a dumb post
Yeah, all of her posts are very dumb.
Hey Eventually.
Dumb is continuing with your posting identity.
I thought that you were smart enough after all of the humiliation to get ahead of this?
Instead you defend it though posts that aggregate you?
It’s time to endorse the boycott.
I mean how much more pain do you want to self inflict?
mikeyank55,
lol, don’t ya just love when their anger shines through
towards women and not really what the post is about
Look who they root4?
Thanks again for you brilliant retorts!! You’re the man
“Hand, foot and mouth disease”?
Never heard of that one.
Young kids get it more often, I honestly diddnt think adults could get it.
yeah. not too common in adults. kids get it all the time.
Is Noah really an adult though?
SlowCurve,
Awesome, NO!!! XO
You must not have young kids
“You must not have young kids.”
Guilty as charged. Now can you tell me, is it a fungus, a virus, a bacterial infection or something else?
It’s a fairly mild viral infection. Kids get it a lot; you see it in day cares often. There’s not really treatment for it – it goes away in a few days. My kid was in a day care that had an outbreak – he didn’t get it but a lot of kids did. Their hands and faces swell up and they have rashes. I think maybe they had a mild fever too, and general weakness, like the flu or something. No long-term effects. Adults almost never get it, unless they work around kids, which is apparently what happened with Syndegaard.
Hoof and Mouth disease is a very different thing, and more serious. , but not dangerous either. Kids usually get it too.
My medical expertise on the matter consists of being a parent of a child that had this once, so you’d be better off researching it yourself. But it’s a virus that kids can contract. They get bumps and rashes on, you guessed it, their hands, feet, and mouth. It isn’t fun, but doesn’t last terribly long
Thanks to both of you for telling me something I really didn’t know. Sounds unpleasant but not fatal.
It takes about 5-7 MPH off your fastball. A dead giveaway for a player who’s first half performance should have told him to get rest at home.
Yeah heard of in farm animals… new one on me
That’s Foot and Mouth (or Hoof and Mouth). Not the same thing as Hand, Foot and Mouth disease.
Feels like they should have better names for these things
Wow! Has any MLB player ever had that? Sounds like he has spent a lot of time around pigs and cows…
Or unclean women.
Frank, lol
Hoof & Mouth???
Not the same thing
Ew lol Noah got the herps
Koksaki for sure
I guess it’s gonna be hard to trade him now
who wants someone always on the DL?
This means nothing in regards to his trade value.
You’ve never been a GM. Trade good assets for this fair haired boy and what you get are large bills from the beauty parlor.
This is NOT a curse-unless you say that this pathetic franchise has the uncanny ability to find new depth to the meaning:
Worst and doing our worst to get better.
Join the resistance. Boycott the Mets. No ticket purchases. No SNY.
I’m not a Mets fan. I never claimed to be a GM. I was simply stating that him contracting HFMD doesn’t change his trade value from whatever it was before. It’s a virus that clears up in a few days, not a long term illness. Chill out.
Syndergaard for Mengden straight up. Who hangs up first?
Too light; the A’s would probably also want deGrom. Maybe Nimmo and Conforto.
Mets hang up. Mengden more durable, but the ceiling on Syndegaard is so much higher.
I thought that was a sarcastic joke, like “foot in mouth” disease.
Syndergaard is actually kind of lucky. If he was a cow they’d have shot and buried him.
Good one blue, damn near fell outta my chair!
Great remark !
Funny mental picture (or maybe not … I guess)
That might be next.
mikeyank55
I am laughing so hard from you, lol, I forgot to post!!
BlueSky,
Lmao, Love it!!
Technically it’s known as “coxsakier viral infection”; and no, I’m not making it up (see mlb.com).
Too rich to comment………not that there’s anything wrong with that……
Matt Harvey 2.0
Foot in mouth disease?
I started to like the dickey trade as now. : )
This is a disease that has a poor name. A great baseball player in Lou Gehrig once gave his name to a disease, perhaps we could start referring to this as Noah Syndergaard’s Disease. At least the prognosis is much better with this one.
It’s more appropriate to call it:
The Thor Syndrome
I’ll go you one better
Thor Pox
I thought they were going to tell us he caught it by shaking hands with one of the Wilpon’s.
If the Mets release David Wright all the bad will go away. He carries that bad aura around him, everything that’s going wrong with the them is because they haven’t had the guts to release him. The Mets fans are gonna thank me, once they release Wright and they start winning.
Hey Piro-that’s as realistic a prediction as saying that your namesake district attorney, on self exile to reality Judge is now self procrastinated to Fox expert.
Just sayin.
it’s the mickey callaway disease (foot in mouth)
I know, just had to say it after the way he handled
the cespedes matter and the press all year
The Cespedes matter is all on … Cespedes.
Hey just. Leave Mickey alone. He’s an innocent bystander to a team who’s destiny is redefined Avery few days.
It’s time for you to get yourself out of denial.
STOP supporting the Mets.
Do NOT purchase any more tickets.
CLICK away from SNY.
START posting in social media to embarrass the Wilpon’s.
Look, it’s a cursed team. Even their GM went on the DL and is out of the game.
Same thing Rex Ryan had, foot in mouth disease!
oof
Sounds like something he might have caught from the Front office.
It is a strategy to avoid trading Thor.
Simple virus that lasts 2 to 3 days. Relax Mets fans.
