Lindor said the boos are motivating him to get better

  1. *“It’s their way of demanding more, telling us that they want more,” Lindor said. “The City of New York is a great place for players to challenge themselves day in and day out, because when you’re good, they’ll let you know. When you’re bad, they’ll let you know, too. So you have to bring it day in and day out. As a professional athlete, that’s what you should do anyways.”*

    Man… what a perfect response.

  2. The journey of Lindor in NYC from the thumbs down to now is a great one.

    Never a big fan of the fans booing, hated when him and Javi started the thumbs down thing as a reaction. So happy things went up from there bc I’m the vibes were so off early days

  3. It’s honestly really amazing to see how he’s grown and gone from the thumbs down thing his first year to embracing the boos now 

    Quote from him the other day: “I’m super proud to be a New York Met and represent the Cohen family and represent the fan base because they’ve helped me grow and mature for sure”

  4. He gives me sunshine on a cloudy day. I feel like its the month of may on a cloudy day. Hes the fucking man!!!!!!

  5. Folks this is about him getting boo’d at the ASG which was in the Braves stadium. He’s just relating that to getting boo’d in New York for the sake of the conversation.

  6. Not that the booing is condoned. But I hope Lindor feels the love from the fans now. The way he turned it around and used it to put himself in this mindset, has created an incredible bond between him and Mets fans. I hope he feels that same bond.

  7. Is this article from last year? Who is booing him? I hear my girl every time he’s up.

  8. Ain’t no one booing this guy ever. And imagine if he wins a chip, forget it. They’ll have a statue of bro outside Citi Field

  9. Lindor is my favorite Met of all-time, and as a dude in my 40s, I thought I was long past being a fanboy for pro athletes.

    I watch a lot of Mets games with my kids, my daughter is a softball player and my son is in little league, and I constantly find myself telling them to watch Lindor and how he plays the game. Not just as a hitter or fielder, but how he carries himself on and off the field. How he is always smiling, how he is a leader to his teammates, how he is friendly and kind to umpires and opposing players, how he is a family man who loves his wife & kids, how he has a little swagger and flair when it’s appropriate. He is an amazing player and person to watch.

    My daughter in 8U softball has started talking to the opposing first baseman when she gets on base. She says she always compliments their hair, or their equipment/accessories and asks them how they are doing. She says she’s doing this because of Lindor, she practices her game and wants to be a better player by watching him play and wants to be a nicer and kinder person because she sees him do it too. Lindor is a true role model and superstar athlete. We are so lucky to have him on the Mets.

  10. He isn’t getting booed at Citi I don’t think, but in Northeast markets you actually earn the applause and (sometimes) the boos you get and if, like Lindor, you were booed earlier in your tenure but turned them into cheers it probably feels much sweeter than what you get in other markets. 

  11. Booing is idiotic, I assure you it makes the players spiteful to the fans wether they will admit it or not, u will never convince me Beltran taking 3 strikes in Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS and than smirking wasnt his subtle subconscious way at getting back at the idiots who booed him earlier in the year
