Jorge Lopez did not hold back when talking about his feelings regarding playing for the New York Mets in a post-game interview on Wednesday, May 29th. After being ejected from the game, the 31-year-old pitcher threw his glove over the protective netting into the stands as he left the field. In the post-game interview, he criticized his team when asked about the incident.
Jorge was ejected from the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the top of the 8th inning. After the third base umpire ejected him from the game, the pitcher headed towards the dugout, removed his glove, and threw it into the crowd. The Mets lost 10−3, and their record stands at 22−33 for the season.
After the game, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza stated that Jorge’s behavior was «unacceptable». In the post-game interview, Jorge was asked about the manager’s comments and whether he regretted the incident, and that’s when he mocked the Mets. «No. I don’t regret it. I think we look like, possibly, the worst team in the damn MLB. So whatever happens, happens», - he said. «I'll be here tomorrow. If they want me, whatever they want to do. I’ll keep doing it. I’m healthy».
Jorge confirmed that he is ready to continue playing if the Mets want to keep him. «I'm ready to come back tomorrow. If they want me to be here, I’ll be here», - he said. However, it seems that the Mets are planning to part ways with Jorge. A source told MLB.com that they have decided to release the reliever.
After his initial comment, some people were unsure whether Jorge was referring to the Mets as the «worst team» or himself as the «worst teammate». When asked to clarify his statement, the journalist gave him the opportunity to further discuss his statement about being in the «worst team», - and Jorge simply replied, «yes, probably. Seems like it»
