What is wrong with some of you fans? Yes, Jason Bay has not lived up to expectations. Yes, he has been injury prone. Yes, the Mets organization may have overpaid for him. But come on. The guy is not a bad guy. He hustles, puts his body on the line when he is in the field and you know he is not happy with what his numbers are. The guy crashes into the wall again, you can tell his is visibly rattled and gets up and still tries to get the ball into the catcher, then falls back down. The guy was hurt and still tried to make the play. He is a gamer. “Well we as fans pay his salary so we can do whatever we want.” That is one of the most ridiculous things that has been said. I can understand frustration but booing isn’t going to help. This isn’t wrestling.Bay isn’t getting paid to play a heel to be booed at by you.
Here is what Kranepool from KranepoolSociety.com has to say.
If you were at the game last night and you booed Jason Bay as he came off the field with what we now know is a concussion, you need to stop calling yourself a Mets and you need to take stock of what a low class a$$hole you are. Bay has been a major disappointment since he signed with the Mets and I understand the frustration fans have as he is the last remnant of the old regime that ran the baseball ops but to boo a guy who gave his body to make a play and a guy who gives 100 % and goes head first into the wall with his history of concussions, is totally classless and you should be ashamed of booing him but then you knuckle draggers have no shame.
