Jose Reyes supports Mets’ Francisco Lindor after two costly mental mistakes
Former Mets shortstop Jose Reyes took to social media to offer support for the teams current shortstop Francisco Lindor after his tough day at the park.
Wednesday was a rough day at the park for Francisco Lindor . The Mets ’ usually fundamentally sound veteran shortstop committed not one, but two costly mental mistakes in what ended as a frustrating walk-off loss to the Cardinals. First Lindor forgot how many outs there were, calmly jogging to second for the force and turning to the dugout on what should’ve been a routine inning-ending double play in the first.
Freddy Peralta easily escaped after, but it cost the starter five more pitches. Lindor would hurt the Mets a bit more a few innings later, though, as he was picked off first a few pitches before Juan Soto broke a scoreless tie with a solo homer in the sixth. New York, of course, ended up losing the game 2-1 in extras.
Lindor did draw a walk for the fourth consecutive game, but he went hitless on the afternoon, leaving him with just one knock in 10 at-bats during the series in St. Louis. Despite the tough day, former Mets shortstop Jose Reyes says fans need to relax about the five-time All-Star.
Relax everybody… my guy Francisco Lindor gonna be good. Bad days happen — that’s baseball. Could happen to anyone.
