Mets Jorge Lopez drops NSFW dig after wild ejection

Mets pitcher Jorge Lopez ejected in heated game against Dodgers, faces backlash for post-ejection behavior. Mets struggling, Lopez designated for assignment.

Jorge Lopez's night against the Dodgers was a frustrating one, as the New York Mets suffered a 10-3 loss in a heated matchup. The pitcher was ejected after throwing his glove into the crowd, leading to Mets manager Mario Mendoza calling his behavior "unacceptable". When asked if he regretted his actions, Lopez defiantly replied with a "No" but later acknowledged his behavior was not okay, even going as far as to say he felt like the worst teammate in the MLB.

There was some confusion over whether Lopez meant he was the worst teammate or on the worst team, but he clarified that it was a reflection of both situations. Following the incident, the Mets have decided to designate Lopez for assignment, indicating a decisive stance on his status with the team.

The frustration of Lopez and the Mets' poor performance in the game added to the overall disappointment of the team's recent struggles. With a record of 22-33 and sitting in fourth place in the NL East, the Mets have faced setbacks with injuries to key players like Edwin Diaz and Pete Alonso. Both stars have had their own challenges this season, with Diaz struggling in his performances and Alonso dealing with injuries.

Despite these obstacles, the Mets have an opportunity to turn things around in their upcoming series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It will be a test of their depth and resilience as they aim to bounce back from their recent losses and showcase their ability to compete at a higher level.

The Mets' response to adversity will be crucial in determining their success moving forward. It remains to be seen how they will overcome their challenges and whether they can rally together to improve their performance on the field.
