Francisco Lindor may not have leaned into Walker Buehler's pitch after all. The Red Sox pitcher got ejected on Tuesday night for arguing as much.

On Tuesday night, Buehler was ejected from the Boston Red Sox matchup with the New York Mets after arguing with home plate umpire Mike Estabrook. After the game, Buehler quote-tweeted a clip of Lindor cheerleading for his ejection and said, "I wouldn't want me out there either. Sad thing is the BULLPEN is full of f--king animals. Tough choice."

In the grand theater of Bronx baseball, drama isn’t confined to the scoreboard—it lives in every dive, throw, and whisper of nostalgia. The post MLB World Divided Over Francisco Lindor’s Failed Attempt to Pull Off a Derek Jeter at Yankees Stadium appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Francisco Lindor is having a great season with the New York Mets. The slugger is a fan favorite, and he’s stepped up for the team when they needed him the most. With more than 50 active shortstops in the league, Lindor is easily one of the best. Yet, comparing him with legendary Yankees star Derek Jeter is not something fans want to see.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Walker Buehler isn't happy about how Francisco Lindor handled a sequence during their May 20 game.

With the bases loaded and one out in the top of the ninth — and Soto looming on deck — Lindor hit a fly ball just deep enough for a sacrifice fly that scored Luisangel Acuña to lift the Mets to a tense 3-2 win over the Yankees on Saturday afternoon in The Bronx.
