Namaste All Day, Noah

I don't know much about yoga besides my wife taking classes a couple times a week. I also don't know much about working out besides having a gym membership that I don't use. What I do know is that Noah Syndergaard is doing yoga, and I like it. Yea I know, slow news day.

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.” ― Bruce Lee

As you might remember, Noah was killing it at the gym after the 2016 season. The bowls of doom were flowing, and his already towering frame, stacked on extra muscles heading in to Spring Training.

Noah Syndergaard reported to camp Sunday and told reporters he -- seriously -- gained 15-17 pounds of muscle, wants to throw HARDER in 2017.

By May 1st, he was done for the season with a partially torn lat muscle. I'm no doctor, but like many fans, we looked at all that extra working out as a potential cause.

If you didn't know any better, you'd watch the below video and think this beast of a man was prepping for war in a football league. Impressive for sure, but seemed a bit excessive.

I get it. Strength is a big part of the game, and shrimps aren't blowing guys away with 100+ mile heaters. By all means a guy with the nickname of Thor is going to work out. Just do it smart, work lighter, and get to a nice balance of power and flexibility. Looks like he's doing that now, and it's a pleasure to see.

Keep it up, Noah.

P.S. The Mets would be making a ginormous mistake trading Noah. You want to win more than you lose. Right? Spend and get some game changing bats to back up our arms. It's a no brainer.

Keeping him AND filling the holes sounds a lot better, Mets. https://t.co/z080PA1ocm

Thank you, Mets fans!

Despite the ending, I had such a fun season. Thanks for being a part of it with me either at Citi Field, on the road, or at the Playwright. I met so many new fans this year. Not new to the Mets, but new to hanging with T7LA. It was a great time. Every game new faces would show up, and that's always encouraged. I know it's tough for some people to throw themselves in to a new situation, but I promise we don't bite. One of my favorite things about The 7 Line Army is watching strong friendships form from it.

Postseason Tailgates At Citi Field!

We'll be tailgating in our usual spot in the Marina Lot before all home Postseason games! Fans should be rolling in at least 4 hours before first pitch. BE THERE! As always, you don't need to be sitting with The 7 Line Army to tailgate together.

No T7L Postseason Merch?!?!

Your eyes do not deceive you, we don't have any available Mets 2024 Postseason merch. It's not that we don't have designs ready to go, we just aren't allowed to release them for another 2 weeks. Fanatics gets an exclusive 2 week window on licensed merch.
