Marlins broadcasters dunk on reeling Mets during crushing loss
Share and Follow

The Mets’ broadcasting team wasn’t the only one going in on the Amazin’s on Friday night.

The Marlins’ commentary team was active during Miami’s 6-2 victory over the Mets, a game where New York suffered a crushing defeat that enabled the Reds to clinch the National League’s last wild-card position.

“I’m absolutely certain, in the latest matchups between the Marlins and Mets, the Marlins have clearly been the superior baseball team,” said Marlins announcer Kyle Sielaff during the home team’s broadcast. “They have shown more desire in every single game. They are a stronger team. Mets fans might disagree, but the evidence speaks for itself.

“They have flat-out wanted it more and they are a better team. And I know that’s a tough pill to swallow when you have a $400 million payroll.”

Given that Miami won three of four at Citi Field in August, it’s tough to argue there.

All three SNY commentators expressed frustration at the Mets’ performance on Friday, with Ron Darling commenting on the disastrous fifth inning, “In a situation like that, you might consider pulling your entire travel ball team from the field.”

“And it’s not the first time, too,” Keith Hernandez added. “They have made a lot of mental errors over the past 9-10 games.”



After the Mets surrendered a 2-0 lead, Pete Alonso bobbled a grounder to allow the go-ahead run to score.

Miami catcher Agustin Ramirez then stole second and third, the former without a throw and the latter with Ronny Mauricio playing way off the bag, allowing him to score on a single. Connor Norby then exacerbated the damage with a two-run bomb.

To make matters worse, the Mets didn’t record a hit after the third inning.

With two games left in the regular season, the Mets are staring a collapse right in the face and could miss the playoffs entirely as the Reds hold the tiebreaker.

They face Miami again on Saturday at 4:10 p.m.
