The Mets’ sixth-season announcer made an angry comment during the team’s game.

The 2024 season is off to a terrible start for the New York Mets, and its longstanding play-by-play announcer appears ready to give up.

On Thursday, the Mets defeated the Detroit Tigers in the second game of a doubleheader to earn their first victory of the year. After seven innings, with the Mets down 1-0 and without a hit, SNY broadcaster Gary Cohen said the team might have reached “rock bottom.

Not long after Cohen made the remark, New York scored its first run of the game. With a single to start the bottom of the eighth inning, Harrison Bader was left stranded on base. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Tyrone Taylor hit an RBI single to win the game, and Pete Alonso had tied the score with a home run to start the inning. The Mets were victorious.

When Cohen voiced his disapproval of the way the season had progressed, he presumably spoke for a large number of Mets supporters. Nevertheless, the weather and the doubleheader were the main reasons the ballpark was empty. Saying a squad has reached “rock bottom” after six games into the season is also a little over the top.
