Francisco Lindor gives a thumbs up at the U.S. Open amid Mets controversy

Could this be a preview of what’s to come at Citi Field?

Did Francisco Lindor give a preview of what New York Mets players will do when they return to Citi Field on Tuesday night?

Thumbs up from now on, baby. Thumbs up! No more thumbs down. Thumbs up, let’s go. Hit .320, no one will boo.”

Telling him to hit better might be oversimplifying things, but hey: Lindor responded with a thumbs up! Here’s the video:

We’ll see if that’s what we see on Tuesday night.
