Mets players full Metsing.
From their beat writer:
"Francisco Lindor, Javier Báez and Kevin Pillar were among those Mets players to flash thumbs-down signs after their hits today.
"When we don't get success, we're going to get booed," Báez explained afterward. "So they [the fans] are going to get booed when we get success."
Bmills where is that "character" Lindor had?
That's shitty.
So is booing players IMVHO

It's not like the Mets fans are booing at the drop of the hat; these guys have sucked all year. If you suck all year AND get pissed when they boo you, you're in the wrong job

Yeah, I'm with Danno here.
It's not like Lindor has been playing to the back of his baseball card since signing his monster contract.
He would have never pulled that shit in Cleveland, just wasn't in his makeup. Maybe the Mets organization has rubbed off on him?

Speaking of Cleveland, approximately 14 fans were there to watch the Sox hand the Guardians a game yesterday.

"My routine was a little different last year. I didn't give my best in the weight room and that showed the last week of the season. I got tired. You know, 60 games, I was playing well. I was playing fine. I played well. It was just that last week, I didn't get my couple hits and it went down to hitting .240, .230 -- I don't know what I hit last year. But whatever it was, it wasn't good.
"So yeah, I just got tired. I didn't give my best in the weight room. It showed. It showed the last week. That's pretty much it when it comes to last year's season."j'ai des grands instants de lucididididididididi

They may have sold 22K tickets sold but if there was 10,000 people in attendance I'd be amazed. I'd guess 5K max. The game was delayed ~3 hours (rain, I think, but I actually never heard why) so I'm sure that was a big part of it. Originally Posted by BmillsSkier

Yeah, passing thunderstorms was the delay. I only tuned in when I got a notification on my phone of Jose's home run.
The video at their webpage shows the crowd which looks bigger than 10k but what do I know. It also does a great job of showing the HR Davis gave up (and the fan it hit) as well as the incredibly stupid interference job by the Sox. I actually thought there were two interference calls to be made on the play - the one at second that they did call and then the third baseman blocking the bag at third.

Yeah that was the pitcher at third but you're not wrong. He jumped at the last instant but he was in the way.

Ah, that kind of explains it, but given the overall context of what was going down during that inning I wouldn't be surprised if it was kinda intentional. Originally Posted by ötzi

Maybe. Guy has missed a bunch of games since the trade, the team has tanked since the trade, and in the games he has played he has hit .210, .258 OBP, and .458 SLG. Dude should expect to be booed. Originally Posted by Woodsy

Maybe this won't be as easy as just getting rid of the Wilpons. Still, the dining and food selection at Citi is head and shoulders above the Bronx.

I would rather of had Rosario (-28M/year) + 3 prospects and maybe a winning team as someone that was against the trade and extension from the beginning.
Poor Mets fans can't catch a break. Shame.

I wonder why the BoSox are wearing masks in Tampa tonight. They're like the only people in the whole state wearing them. Maybe that's why.

The Mets: less douchey than the Yankees and just as many World Series’ lately.

I just dont get Baez, isnt he a free agent next year? Teams looking at him say, hes got power, decent fielder BUT the major leagues’ highest strikeout percentage and criticized fans for booing him.
Maybe the Angels
