Cancer-surviving MLB star Liam Hendriks has hit back on social media at disgusting death threats he and his wife, Kristi Hendriks, have received after his performance on Wednesday night.
Hendriks, a Boston Red Sox reliever, only got two outs but allowed three hits and three earned runs in the loss to the New York Mets.
The game was tied when Hendriks emerged from the bullpen, and the Red Sox were down three in the 5-1 defeat when he sat in the dugout.
That performance prompted baseball fans to take things a step too far for the 36-year-old's liking.
'Threats against my life and my wife's life are horrible and cruel. You need help,' Hendriks said Thursday on his Instagram story. 'Leaving comments telling me to commit suicide and how you wish I died from cancer is disgusting and vile. Maybe you should take a step back and reevaluate your life's purpose before hiding behind a screen attacking players and their families.'
'Whether you do it from your 'fake accounts' or are dumb enough to do it from your real account. I think I speak for all the players who have had to deal with this in their career when I say: enough is enough.'

The negative comments were quickly buried by positive remarks by his fans on his latest social-media post from Sunday.
'You're inspirational for cancer patients and survivors. Been battling a brain tumor for 7 years now. Whether it's a good or bad day on the field I'm always rooting for you Liam,' one fan said.
'If anyone's got a problem with Liam you gotta go through me!' another Hendriks supporters said.
Hendriks was a three-time MLB All-Star before he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, announcing he had the disease in January 2023.
In April 2023, Hendriks announced he was in remission. He made his return to baseball the next month.
Hendriks did not stay with the Chicago White Sox for much longer, as he underwent Tommy John surgery that August and became a free agent.
After spending all of 2024 out of baseball, Hendriks was picked up by the Red Sox and made his debut with the team last month.
Liam and Kristi Hendriks have been married since 2013, two years after he made his big-league debut.
