It Didn't Take Long For Phillies Fans to Boo Their Own Players in Game 2 vs. Mets
Fan of the Philadelphia Phillies didn't have much patience on Sunday.
It didn't take long for Phillies fans to jump on their team during Game 2 of the NLDS against the New York Mets. After their team fell behind 2-0 early, Philadelphia's fans began booing their own players after they went scoreless in the first four innings. The boos were not subtle and came on every at-bat.
Fans at Citizens Bank Park have taken to booing their own players pretty much every at-bat, as Luis Severino has set down 10 of the last 12 Phillies he's faced. Most of them didn't even bother singing along to Bryson Stott's popular walk-up song.

The Mets are breaking Philly.
Nick Castellanos seemed to get it the worst.

Say what you want, but it appeared to work. The Mets were up 3-0 in the bottom of the sixth when Bryce Harper launched a two-run home run and Castellanos followed that up with a solo shot to tie the game at 3-3.
JUST LIKE THAT, THIS GAME IS TIED!!

The Phillies led 1-0 for most of Game 1, but a five-run eighth inning rally helped the Mets take the lead for good in a 6-2 victory. Game 2 is still up for grabs.
