Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor found a funny way to complete a double play Wednesday night with a silly throw to first base that most fans loved to see.
There was, however, one guy who didn’t like it and he shared his salty feelings about on live TV.
Phillies announcer Ben Davis was not impressed at all with Lindor throwing a bouncing ball to first to get out a runner who had no chance of getting back to the bag in time. Davis spoke about the play with the tone of someone who had just seen something really awful happen.
Nothing awful happened, though. It was a fun moment!
The NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcast didn't care for how Mets star Francisco Lindor tossed the ball to first base on an easy double play.

MLB fans crushed him for it:
In addition to being incredibly stupid to be offended by this, the funniest part may be his complaint about Lindor needing to be “more professional” as a player on the team he broadcasts for essentially walks to second base 😂😂 https://t.co/gz1Mstitho

In 2023: let’s be offended by how Lindor got the ball over to first for a double play.
