Mets star’s mental mistakes in loss ignites outrage: ‘You’ve got to go’
This Mets star forgot how many outs there were in the opening inning against the Cardinals.
If you’re a Mets fan wondering if you’re the only one losing your mind over Francisco Lindor’s latest brain freeze, you’re not alone. On the latest episode of “The Craig Carton Show,” WFAN loudmouth Craig Carton unleashed a scorching hot take: Francisco Lindor needs to go. “In the very first inning yesterday against the St.
Louis Cardinals, Francisco Lindor, (with a) man on first (and) one out, ground ball to short, easy double play, and he steps on the second base bag and thought the inning was over and never throws the ball to first base,” Carton recalls, via YouTube . “And then he pulls the old my bad, my bad. ” Here’s what happened.
In the very first inning against the St. Louis Cardinals, the $341 million shortstop committed one of the most baffling mental errors you’ll ever see at the major league level. But wait, it gets worse.
A couple innings later, with Juan Soto at the plate, Lindor was on first base adjusting his oven mitt when he got picked off. Instead of a potential two-run homer when Soto launched a bomb moments later, it was just a solo shot. The Mets eventually lost in extra innings after a dropped pop-up in right field.
