Edwin Díaz: Athletics' Austin Adams 'Crossed a Line' by Mocking Mets' Celebration

New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz took exception to Oakland Athletics reliever Austin Adams using the "OMG" celebration when he escaped a jam in the fifth inning of Tuesday's 9-4 victory.

Speaking to Bridget Reilly of the New York Post, Díaz said Adams "crossed a line" with the celebration.

"He crossed a line because that's something we do when we hit a homer or something," Díaz explained. "He [can] do it always, that's fine. But, he can't get mad if we do something to him the next couple of days."

After the Mets scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth to cut their deficit to 7-4, Adams was brought in from the bullpen with two on and nobody out. He escaped the jam striking out Jeff McNeil, getting José Iglesias to fly out in foul territory and striking out Francisco Álvarez.

Following the Álvarez strikeout, McNeil raised his hands to the sky and appeared to mimic the Mets' "OMG" celebration that has been adopted by the team this season.

Adams said after the game his celebration wasn't intended to upset anyone on the Mets.

Adams is with the A's now because he was traded to Oakland by the Mets near the end of spring training. He originally signed with New York as a free agent in November.

"OMG" is a song by Iglesias—who has a musical career under the stage name Candelita—that has been used by the Mets at home games when they hit a home run.

The Mets have also used the "OMG celebration—included in the music video for the song—when a big moment in a game goes their way.

It's unclear, despite Díaz's comment, what the Mets might be able to use against Adams if they get revenge on him with a big hit in a key spot in the remaining games in the series. He doesn't really have a celebration of his own that can be mocked.

We might find out because the A's and Mets play two more games at Citi Field on Wednesday and Thursday.
