MLB fans troll Pete Alonso for taunting Braves pitcher after hitting homer: "Biggest nerd in baseball"

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso has faced criticism from fans for taunting Atlanta Braves pitcher Bryce Elder from the dugout. After hitting a two-run homer off Elder in the third inning, Alonso was seen shouting taunts towards the pitcher. However, the game didn't go in favor of Alonso and the Mets, as the Braves mounted a comeback to win the game 6-4. Fans expressed their displeasure with Alonso's behavior, believing that he got what he deserved after the loss.Pete Alonso made his debut with the New York Mets in 2019 and has quickly become one of their standout players. He won the Rookie of the Year award in his first season and has been named an All-Star twice in his short career. Notably, he had an impressive season in 2022, finishing as the NL RBI leader. As a prominent figure in Major League Baseball, Alonso's display of poor sportsmanship during a game is frowned upon by fans.The incident occurred in the third inning when Alonso hit a two-run homer off Atlanta Braves pitcher Bryce Elder, giving his team a 4-1 lead. Upon returning to the dugout, Alonso taunted Elder by repeatedly shouting, &quot;Throw it again, please.&quot; However, it appeared that the universe had a different plan, as the Mets ultimately lost the game when the Braves staged a comeback in the sixth inning to tie the score and eventually secured the victory in the eighth inning. Fans did not react positively to Alonso's behavior, and they took to social media to troll him for his antics.&quot;Biggest nerd in baseball,&quot; wrote one fan on Twitter. &quot;As cringe as acuña’s griddy,&quot; added another.Jomboy Media@JomboyMedia“THROW IT AGAIN, PLEASE!”Pete Alonso chirping Bryce Elder after taking him deep71743“THROW IT AGAIN, PLEASE!”Pete Alonso chirping Bryce Elder after taking him deep https://t.co/0nFA9vtV3xSara🍦😎@heysaraaaaa@JomboyMedia Biggest nerd in baseball.9@JomboyMedia Biggest nerd in baseball.EKOMS@ranked27@JomboyMedia As cringe as acuña’s griddy… and the comment section about to be wild.5@JomboyMedia As cringe as acuña’s griddy… and the comment section about to be wild.Cam 🇺🇦@JudgesTorres@JomboyMedia you just know his teammates are so embarrassed to play with him1@JomboyMedia you just know his teammates are so embarrassed to play with himJustin Marmon@Marmoduke@JomboyMedia Baseball players are the worst….
