New York Mets announcer Ron Darling might have threatened Noah Syndergaard after the pitcher got into a confrontation with Jay Horwitz.
Sunday wasn’t a good day for New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard.
Syndergaard left Sunday’s game against the Nationals early due to tearing his right lat muscle. He was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Monday. Mets manager Terry Collins did not want to discuss Thor’s injury.

A few days ago, the Mets ace refused to get an MRI after experiencing some arm trouble.
Thor not getting an MRI lead to him getting into a confrontation in the clubhouse with Mets PR man Jay Horwitz. Mets announcer and former pitcher Ron Darling wasn’t happy with Thor for getting in a confrontation with Horwitz.
Syndergaard just blew off reporters at his locker inquiring about his shoulder.

“In my opinion that is about as weak as it can get and hopefully that never happens again,” Darling said on Sunday’s broadcast. “Luckily, I wasn’t there. I wouldn’t take that.”

The question is, what did Darling mean when he said, “Luckily I wasn’t there?” Would he have gotten into a fight with the almighty Thor? Darling is lucky that he wasn’t there because he might have gotten hit by more than a ball if he was.
