You can have a really good start and then six days later, it&#8217;s the complete opposite.  It&#8217;s pretty obvious this team&#8217;s on a little bit of a skid right now.  It would have been nice to come out and turn that around but I dropped the ball pretty seriously and didn&#8217;t get the job done. &#8220;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>Syndergaard indicated the pressure he felt, though, was not related to his return to New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, not really,\u201d said Syndergaard, who would be on turn to face the Mets on June 12 in Los Angeles.  \u201cCity&#8217;s the same, still an awesome place.  Still enjoyed my off day [Monday] by going to Central Park and playing catch with [teammate Reid Detmers].  So that was nice. &#8220;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption>Noah Syndergaard lasted just two-plus innings against the Yankees on Tuesday.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jason Szenes<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The clunker raised Syndergaard&#8217;s ERA by nearly a full run to 4.02 through eight starts.  He was coming off his best outing of the season, tossing eight innings of one-run ball against the Rangers last week, but in the start before that he was crushed for six runs (four earned) in two-thirds of an inning.<\/p>\n<p>Syndergaard, who pitched just two innings over his final two seasons with the Mets because of Tommy John surgery in 2020, is still missing the high velocity he had before the procedure.  He sat 92-95 mph with his sinker and fastball Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>While Syndergaard said he felt \u201creally good\u201d physically, the results did not match up against the Yankees.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/05312022Yankees13JS.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Noah\" class=\"wp-image-22483275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/05312022Yankees13JS.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/05312022Yankees13JS.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/05312022Yankees13JS.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption>Noah Syndergaard sits in the dugout after a short outing against the Yankees.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jason Szenes<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cYou gotta be patient,\u201d Maddon said.  \u201cIt&#8217;s one of those situations where you can&#8217;t jump to conclusions, I don&#8217;t think.
