Can we put this one to rest real quick?
Because Francisco Lindor didn’t do anything wrong here.
In Wednesday’s New York Mets win over the Philadelphia Phillies, Edmundo Sosa hit a ball right to the star shortstop, which was the first out. The runner, Kody Clemens, heading to second was caught, so Lindor simply threw it without much velocity over to first base to get the double play.
Sure, the ball bounced twice, but whatever! You don’t want to overthrow it or anything to lose out on such an easy play, right? Except the Phillies’ broadcast booth didn’t take kindly to the casual throw.
One of Tom McCarthy or Ben Davis — I can’t tell — said, “I’m not a big fan. Be a little bit more professional about it.”

I disagree! Either way, this reminds me that the Mets’ announcers don’t love the Phillies, either.
