In the post game, Pete mentioned that Lindor was talking to him about “the shape of his fastball”. Basically, it sounds like Lindor picked up on a mechanical difference between the fastball and offspeed and gave Pete the tip.
Noticed teams doing this more in college games recently. After a kid strikes out, they have a quick chat with the on deck guy about what they might see. In my day you just kicked rocks back to the dugout and hung your head.
My dads the guy who reviews a play when a call is challenged for an nhl team. I’ve been in his booth plenty of times. I can confirm that half of the 20 or so screens in there are zoomed in on hot girls because the camera guys are hilarious
I was at the Mets/Padres game last Monday and we noticed this happening quite a bit between Mets players. It wasn't just Lindor, a bunch of them did it
Hate to break to you, but this song ain't about you. This was about Big Meat Pete, a great teammate, hitting a Big Meat Homerun, which is a rarity by today's game standards. Mets have a good team, enjoy that instead of stirring shit. As do the Mets, so drop the drama and move on.
Lindor does this after almost every at bat. I think this is a great thing, especially from guys at the top of the batting order that are trying to work an at bat to get a feel for a pitcher in the game.
I can’t stand Eduardo Perez or whatever the hell is name is. One of the biggest over-analyzers in broadcasting. Plus his voice sounds like his mouth is all gums
Is it normal for announcers to be as homer as people are about the Mets? “That’s why people believe this team will go deep” dude it’s the middle of fuckin June
"don't strike out like I did"
"Maybe hit a home run instead?"
“You see what I did? Don’t do that!”
This is excellent life advice, too.
"Don't miss the ball" "Gotchu fam."
I smirked in the car while reading this lol take my award.
I laughed so hard at that.
Hey Pete, do what I did, only the opposite
“Hit a dinger”
Pete, probably
Was the pitcher tipping and they caught on?

I doubt it. Lindor does this every single time no matter who’s after him
Wouldn’t they be more discreet about sharing that info though?

I was a leadoff hitter, half your job is to scout how the pitcher is throwing and if they have any tendencies and let your teammates know right away.
I was that guy. Even when I wasn't starting I loved watching the opposing team's signs or pitcher to try to pick something up for the team.
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to get yelled at by your dad until you cry after striking out.
"Do better."
Skate better.
Nimmo did this to Lindor, just before Lindor hit a HR off Buehler a couple games ago.
Yes the Mets invented telling pitch information to the guy in the on-deck circle. No other team thought of this.
I’m glad that after 100+ years of baseball, someone finally figured it out.
Other teams: “write that down!”
Was faster than banging on a trash can, apparently.
Laughed extra hard at this as a Braves fan. :D
That announcer sounds like he’s talking through a kazoo
That's
Pete, yo sisters a ho
“I just saved 15% or more…”
PA: "Okay, what are you seeing?"

Mets do this a lot, not sure if SNY has been showing it more often or this is new to them this season.
This was ESPN

Showalter Effect.
Pete said post game it had to do with the shape of the pitchers fastball.
"If he throws a fastball down the middle.... hit it hard, ok? Got it? Cool."
"hey yo bro your facial hair looks really good today" "hey thanks man appreciate it"
LFGM
That throaty voice makes me want to fucking die, I can’t even explain why it is just so grating and annoying, how the FUCK is that guy a broadcaster??
This same scene played out right before Alonso mashed against Buehler last week.

What if it really was a rat all along?

idk, worked for jordan and kobe
We’ve see. This a lot with Pete and Lindor this year. Lindor just seems to know how to relay information to Pete to help set him up for success
The mystery rodent started it
Wow, what would baseball do without the Mets.
It would be stuck with boring ass teams like the Braves.. ugh imagine?
That’s the kind of shit I like to see.

Hey is pitching a low curveball swing under it
sad cleveland noises
"God damn can Freddy freeman talk your ear off if you get on first base"
"Smithers, massage my brain....you, Alonso, hit a home run!"
“I have to shit so bad bro please take a minute up there”

Funny thing is that even the Mets' own announcers aren't that homer.
I’ve literally never heard harder dick riding from an announcer
I chose the Topps HR challenge 6/13 instead of 6/12 and yet my dumbass didn’t even realize we don’t play on 6/13😭
