"It definitely doesn't look good” - Francisco Lindor opens up on Jorge Lopez’s actions, backs teammate after controversial interview

Jorge Lopez and the New York Mets had an unforgettable night against the Los Angeles Dodgers in their series finale. It all seemed to be going well until Lopez got into an argument with the third base umpire Ramon DeJesus in a 10-3 loss to the Dodgers.

Freddie Freeman was at the plate when Lopez argued with the umpire for a check swing. After a heated exchange of words with the umpire during the 8th inning, Lopez was tossed out of the game. The pitcher was frustrated on his ejection and tossed his glove into the stands.

In a post-game interview with SNY, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor opened up on his teammate's action after he was ejected. Lindor said that Lopez throwing the glove did not look good. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza also agreed that Lopez's actions were unacceptable.

"It definitely doesn't look good. If our manager says it's unacceptable, it's unacceptable," Lindor said. "I hope tomorrow, he feels completely different. He's doing it at the heat of the moment, he's somebody that carries things a little longer than other players."

Lindor further extended his support to Lopez saying that he is his teammate, and irrespective of his actions he will back him up.

"Hopefully tomorrow he feels a little bit different. If he doesn't, at the end of the day he's our teammate and we gotta go out there and compete day in and day out and I'll back him up," Lindor continued.

New York Mets DFA Jorge Lopez following harsh comments

Jorge Lopez throwing his gloves in frustration after his ejection wasn't the only action that caught the eye. The pitcher made a harsh comment in his controversial post-game interview on Wednesday.

Lopez said that he doesn't regret throwing his glove in the stands.

"No, I don't regret it," Jorge Lopez said. I think I have been on the worst team in probably the whole f*****g MLB. You know so whatever happened happens. So, whatever they want to do, I will be tomorrow here if they want me, whatever they want to do."

Following his comment on the team, the Mets decided to DFA Jorge Lopez. The 31-year-old will need to pull things together before he gets back in the MLB.
