The New York Mets have been one of the greatest disappointments in the 2023 MLB period, and that narrative only acquired steam immediately after Sunday’s unsightly reduction to the Philadelphia Phillies.
In circumstance you skipped it, New York gave up 4 operates on just a person strike in the bottom of the eighth inning and misplaced the match, 7-6. That brutal inning included a few walks, two hit batters and an unpleasant mistake.
The Mets got a runner on with no outs in the ninth inning, but then Mark Canha and Tommy Pham struck out, and Jeff McNeil flied out to heart to finish the activity.
The Mets’ broadcasting crew of Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling straight away crushed Buck Showalter and the group for their “horrific” decline:

Which is a full good deal of honesty from a team’s possess announcers.
MLB lovers liked it:
A single of the good reasons why the @Mets broadcast crew is so superb is their aversion to sugar-coating what they see. Much too numerous crews steer clear of the faults of the groups they include, normally with silence. Gary, Keith, & Ron don't insult their viewers's intelligence. #Mets https://t.co/6ty2FJV0Pw
