Francisco Lindor delivered a huge grand slam for his New York Mets during Game 4 of their NLDS against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday at Citi Field in Queens, N.Y. You wouldn’t have had a clue that he had delivered such a big hit based on his reaction.
Lindor circled the bases like nothing had happened even though he had put his Mets up 4-1. Fans picked up on that and commented on how little the shortstop had reacted.
The fact that Francisco Lindor has hit some of the biggest home runs in Mets history and hasn’t even cracked a smile on any of them. The man is a stone cold killer.

Francisco Lindor just trotted a potential series winning Grand Slam like it was a solo HR down 11-1 in July.
I hate this phrase, but that is 1000% “aura”

That was Lindor’s first home run of the postseason. FOX MLB reporter Tom Verducci noted how Lindor has been dealing with a back injury that takes him 40 minutes to warm up prior to games. Perhaps Lindor was so reserved because he is gritting through some pain, which would make the grand slam all that much more impressive.
