Tom Brennan - LIGHTEN UP ON LINDOR, WILL YA? AND CHEER!

A MESSAGE TO METS FANS:

LIGHTEN UP ON FRANCISCO LINDOR

YOUR CHEER BRINGS HIM CHEER.

I've been tough on him here at times, I'll admit.

But my focus has mostly been on the almost eternal length of his contract.

My brother reminded me that he is currently the second best player on this team, in his opinion.

I tend to agree.  Jake is Mt Rushmore.  Lindor comes next.

His bat was comatose, but it is no longer.

He is smart, excellent defensively, and is now hitting WELL.

He has been very DURABLE.

He should hit like the dickens when the other non-durable regulars return and the team becomes formidable.

The booing seemed to really bother him.  

Make that present tense: SEEMS.  IT STILL BUGS HIM.

To talk a little biblical, "Brothers, it should not be so."

The booing should immediately cease and desist.

Fans need to try cheering their struggling guys on instead.

Unless the fans want to discourage the guy and lose more.

SO.....CHEER!  TRY IT!  YOU'LL LIKE IT.

McCann - cheer him too.  

The Yamamoto thing?  Shame on Mets "fans".

Spread your misery elsewhere - cheer this team.

Cheer everyone on it.

Here's why.

Players can ignore what we and others write about them.

But if they are being loudly booed in their own home park?

That cannot be ignored.  Unless they are legally deaf.

So, practice it...CHEER...not BOO.  

Some things, you see, take practice.

"We love you, Francisco.  We got your back.  We believe in you."

Ahh, now that's better.  Try that.  Rinse and repeat.

He likes different color hair?  COOL!

Bling?  GREAT!

It's not your style?  ZIP IT.

WHY?  OTHERS ACTUALLY LIKE THAT ABOUT HIM.

I'll leave it with this: My Mom always used to tell us:

"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

WISDOM.  CHEER. TAKE A DEEP BREATH.  CHEER SOME MORE.

I'm with you Tom but you made one mistake. You said Lindor was DURABLE....oh noooooo that terrible word hamstring is right around the corner so lets just keep that Durable thing to ourselves. By the way CC has been out for what 3 MONTHS with a hammy so what gives here my friends.

I think your over Stating how good he is defensively
Metric not take into account his arm is nothing special and he has made more errors and not gotten to balls we should expect from someone with his reputation
