The Philadelphia Phillies got a dose of tough love from fans when they showed up at Flyers game.

Amid a disappointing season for Philadelphia's baseball team, players from the Phillies took advantage of their own postponed game to attend the Flyers' playoff game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday, April 29.

Phillies stars Trea Turner, Kyle Schwarber, JT Realmuto and Jesus Luzardo, among others, were in attendance to see the Flyers defeat the Penguins at Xfinity Mobile Arena and move on to the second round, but Philadelphia sports fans weren't so excited to see them.

When the Phillies were shown on the Jumbotron during the third period, the crowd loudly booed.

"That's awful - they never should have been shown on the Jumbotron," said one fan. "Lack of effort will get you booed all the time in Philly and this Phillies team plays dead. However, the Flyers play hard every shift," another.
