Bo Bichette is batting 1.000 with his answers to the NY Mets fans booing him

Bo Bichette was booed in his third New York Mets game after striking out for the 8th time on the season. Just a single this weekend and a whole lot of nothing, he heard it from the CIti Field crowd in the 7th inning.

He couldn’t dodge the question every reporter needs to ask. How does it feel?

Lucky for him, the second-generation star knew what to say.

Bo Bichette’s results deserved the boos, the man doesn’t

There are three kinds of sports fans. There are those who rage boo over everything. There are those who’ll never boo. Then there are the ones in between who’ll boo only when it’s a matter of someone not putting in the effort. Bichette is, without a doubt, doing his best. He’s just not getting the results we had hoped for.

It’s a weird spot for Bichette who is learning a new position and essentially replacing Pete Alonso in the lineup. There’s a ton of pressure on him to do a lot of things all at once. Three games into 162 opportunities to do it sure seems premature to start ragging on him.

Sensible fans already know this. Non-sensible boo-birds will jeer their grandmothers for not having Sunday dinner ready by 5 o’clock.

Bichette is keeping it real with his poor performance at the plate. When asked if heading off on the road will help him, he didn’t try to make an excuse.

Well done, Bo. As we continue to get to know the $42+ million star, the more we’re seeing how humble he is. He wasn’t afraid to reach out to David Wright for help at learning third base. Sure, he’s getting paid generational wealth. As far as pride goes, he’s not creating a bigger problem by defending his early slump at the plate.

It might help Bichette a little bit that Carson Benge’s home run is his only hit thus far. Lindor was hitless until Sunday and now only has 2 hits. Jorge Polanco is 1 for 10 with a bunch of walks.

Slumps like this are inevitable for any player. It’s only because it’s the first three games that Bichette is “hearing” it. A three game series in June wouldn’t cause quite the same reaction. He’ll be just fine…we think.

Bichette added that he feels like he might be trying to do a little too much. An honest assessment of himself, the good part is he at least seems to understand what's wrong. When a hitter doesn't, they're doomed.
