When Noah Syndergaard takes the mound for the Phillies in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night, he won’t be in foreign territory. RedOctober
The stakes were high in 2015 and they'll be high again Monday night. Syndergaard won Game 3 of the 2015 World Series to prevent the Kansas City Royals from going up three-games-to-none on the Mets. The Royals ended up winning the series in five games, but Syndergaard did his job in Game 3.
The Phillies acquired Syndergaard from the Los Angeles Angels at the trade deadline to provide innings at the back end of the rotation. He was not projected to be part of the postseason rotation, but the Phillies are in a place where they need him. Kyle Gibson hit a wall late in the season and is not an option to start, though he remains on the postseason roster.
Though Syndergaard has pitched just 1⅓ inning and thrown just 17 pitches since then, the Phillies will look to get as much as they can out of him Monday night. They aren't sure how long Suarez will be able to go in Game 4. His last two outings have been in relief, when manager Rob Thomson got aggressive in nailing down wins in the NLCS clincher and World Series opener. Either way, the Phils could go deep into their bullpen in Games 3 and 4.
It sounds silly to say Monday night's game is crucial. It's the World freaking Series and every game is crucial. "I'm just focusing on being who I can be," Syndergaard said."I'm not trying to get outside my realm of a pitcher. I've definitely learned a lot and feel like I've evolved as a pitcher, not just a thrower, over the course of this year.
