Syn goes to bat for Dan

PHILADELPHIA — Noah Syndergaard’s fastball topped out at 101 miles per hour Sunday, in the Mets’ 11-0 loss to the Phillies. After the game, he threw even higher heat at the Mets’ front office in an effort to save Dan Warthen’s job.

“As far as the pitching coach situation, I think it’s pretty much (BS) with Dan. He’s taking the blame for all the injuries we’ve had this year,” Syndergaard said. “I think they are looking in the wrong direction. If Dan’s not back next year, what does that say? Because I am right here saying that in my opinion, I think he is what’s best for our pitching staff and I want him to be my pitching coach for the remainder of my career.”

With Terry Collins stepping down as the manager of the Mets after Sunday’s game, the future of the coaching staff is uncertain. The Mets’ pitchers have been very vocal in their support of Warthen, with Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom
