I love how ridiculous Syndergaard’s comment was. "If you want to fight, we can fight, but only if you stand 20 yards away and I get to throw things as hard as I can at you, but only then."

Or maybe the Royals led the league in HBP’s for the first month of the season and were protecting their guys. When your Gold Glove center fielder gets hit in the hand on opening day and the back 2 days later, your pitchers get protective.

The Royals met Noah at his office. For some reason, he didn’t show up.
