Edwin Diaz went down with an apparent knee injury during the World Baseball Classic on Wednesday night, and clearly, Mets fans in the media are going through it.
“The Mets are paying Edwin Diaz, how much money? And he chose to go play in the WBC, and he gets hurt celebrating. Celebrating a win. Nice start to a World Series-or-bust year. Thanks to the WBC! Thanks commish, and everybody who participated in it. Can’t wait to see who wins!”
The most unhinged reaction went to Frank the Tank, a Barstool Sports personality, who posted a TikTok where he essentially just screamed at the camera inaudibly. “The whole f–king season is ruined by the G-d damn World Baseball Classic!” is one of the few things that listeners were able to make out.KFC, also a popular Barstool personality and Mets fan, was not quite as unhinged but made his opinion about the WBC known on Twitter.
“The people who are defending the WBC are such dorks,” KFC wrote. “That tournament sucks and is absolutely not worth risking exactly what unfolded tonight. Nobody cares and all of you pretending to care are lame.” Jerry Blevins, a former Mets pitcher who now also works for SNY and Jomboy Media, called the injury a “nightmare scenario.”Blevins wroteDiaz remained down on the field after he struck out the final batter in the WBC matchup against the D.R., advancing Puerto Rico out of Pool D and into the quarterfinals.Edwin Diaz goes down during the team celebration and has to be carried off the field.
