Noah Syndergaard said he would give his 'hypothetical first born' to be his old self again, but the Dodgers can't count on that happening.
said he’s confident Syndergaard will bounce back, “at some point, whether it’s the next start or the start after that or the one after that. He’s too good of a pitcher not to come back and do well in this league.” But that seems more like wishful thinking than reality.
“He’s kind of looking for anything right now, but no doubt he’ll find it and he’ll find his groove,” Smith insisted.“I’m still expected to go out there and compete and today I just fell behind a lot of hitters. I couldn’t get my off-speed over for a strike and my changeup is just a huge vulnerability for me right now.
If not for injuries to Julio Urías, Dustin May and Ryan Pepiot, Syndergaard might have been out of the picture weeks ago. Thin as their pitching staff is, it makes no sense for the Dodgers to keep Syndergaard and his 6.54 earned-run average in the rotation. “I don’t know. The hope is that he does [start], “Roberts said. “Right now I just don’t want to answer that question.”Roberts was hesitant to pile on Syndergaard, saying only he didn’t know what to say about Wednesday’s performance.
