Francisco Alvarez’s home run celebrations have become almost as prodigious as his homers themselves.
The Mets don’t want the rookie catcher to stop with either, but Alvarez received what he considered sage advice on Thursday from third-base coach Joey Cora, who told him to better gauge the situation before launching into a full-blown celebration.
Francisco Alvarez drew an admonishment from third base coach Joey Cora for his bicep-flexing celebration after he hit the game-tying homer in the Mets’ comeback win on Wednesday night.Alvarez’s homer gave the Mets their first run before Mark Canha’s RBI triple later in the inning brought home the go-ahead run in what became a 2-1 victory.
“[Cora] pulled me aside [Thursday] when we were more relaxed and he just said, ‘We have to understand the situations of the game,’ ” Alvarez said. “It wasn’t in a bad way. He wasn’t getting on me. He wasn’t trying to teach me a lesson. It was just to give me some good advice to say I have got to zone back into the game.”
