Did Francisco Lindor break baseball's "unwritten rules"?
Phillies announcer Ben Davis was not pleased with Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor after making a less-than strong throw to first base on a double play in the top of the fifth inning. With Kody Clemens on first, Sosa hit a hot line drive to short which Lindor caught. Clemens who was already at second base, was easy out at first. Lindor threw to first, but the ball only made it about two-thirds of the way to first and rolled to Pete Alonso for the second out of the inning.
