Here’s what people were saying in response to Lindor:
@searlebaseball: “Not defending the errors he’s made since coming back, but he’s also the only reason we scored today A good team picks up their guy and wins anyway”
@Matthew__Sloane: “People can say what they want about Lindor, but he’s never ever ran from the media. Game today is largely on him, but I respect him a ton for always taking accountability. That’s a trait that’s bigger than baseball. This is a guy you want on your team.”
@MetsLoyalist: “Too easy to blame Lindor and Williams for this loss. How about taking out Thornton after 7 innings and only 82 pitches?”
@jonjy36: “He’ll play better in the 2nd half of the season when the Mets are out of the race.”
