Noah Syndergaard seems to have a pretty good relationship with the media.

On Monday, everyone knew that Noah Syndergaard had a bone spur in his elbow, but Syndergaard denied it. So how did ESPN’s Adam Rubin respond? With a bunch of whiny (if somewhat valid) tweets.

Syndergaard made the very smart decision to respond not on Twitter, but IRL.

Noah Syndergaard, addressing the bone spur, just gave @AdamRubinESPN a box of tissues "in case the waterworks start again." Killing it.

Damn. Damn. Syndergaard even throws heat during his media scrums.
