Phillies broadcast team’s criticism of Francisco Lindor pissed off Twitter

[ad_1]

During the fifth inning of Wednesday night’s game between the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets, Francisco Lindor caught a fly ball on a line driven by Phillies third baseman Edmundo Sosa before throwing the ball to first base for a double play. That should have been the end of the story here, because no matter how smooth Lindors shot, he still got the job done, which was to get two outs.

However, the Phillies broadcast team didn’t seem too happy with the perceived effort Francisco Lindor put behind that pass, with Ben Davis even saying he’s not a big fan and the star shortstop of the Mets should have been a little more. professional about it.

NBC Sports Philadelphia didn’t care how Mets star Francisco Lindor threw the ball to first base on an easy double play.

Well, Twitter isn’t exactly feeling Davis’ sentiment, with baseball fans on social media expressing their disbelief at such nitpicking.

No way Phillies broadcasters are crying over the way Lindor threw the ball to 1st when the batter didn’t even leave the box, tweeted Marc Luino.

Asking Francisco Lindor to be more professional to double-cross you on your bad hit-and-run choice is actually hilarious, said Twitter user @Jolly_Olive.

@TwoCynicsPod didn’t hold back: NBC Sports Philadelphia team with a cynical boomer take ready to go when you need it.

Francisco Lindor and the Mets had the last laugh again, as they defeated the Phillies, 4-1 to move away from a victory on Thursday to sweep their National League East Division rivals.
