The complete game shutout from Noah Syndergaard that the Cincinnati Reds just witnessed this afternoon was a thing of beauty. It’s rather majestic watching a starting pitcher who can dial up fastballs to 99 mph look completely in-sync with his calls, painting corners and making opposition lineups look completely stupified from the first pitch.
Perhaps that might get Thor on the inside-track to, I dunno, winning the NL Pitcher of the Month Award...for May.
As for March/April, well, the Reds can now lay claim to that title, as their own version of Thor - a 99 mph fireballer who can pull the string with the best change-up in the game - just had one of the better months in team pitching history, and has been rewarded for it.
