During the April 2nd broadcast of the New York Mets’ game against the Miami Marlins, SNY analyst and former Mets first baseman Keith Hernandez was inadvertently caught on a hot mic expressing frustration over the teams’ lackluster offensive performances. As the telecast returned from a commercial break in extra innings, Hernandez was heard remarking, “piss-poor hitting.” ​

This candid comment followed a particularly unproductive 10th inning for both teams. The Mets managed to place runners on the corners with no outs but failed to capitalize, culminating in three consecutive outs. Similarly, the Marlins squandered a scoring opportunity when Dane Myers was tagged out at home, and the inning ended with a pop-out by Javier Sanoja.

Fans quickly took to social media to react to Hernandez’s unfiltered assessment. One user commented, “No one hates anything more than Keith Hernandez hates bad baseball,” while another noted, “Keith Hernandez hot mic moments are some of my favorite Mets moments.” ​

Despite the offensive woes highlighted by Hernandez, the Mets ultimately secured a 6-5 victory in extra innings, bringing their season record to 3-3. This incident underscores the team’s early-season challenges at the plate, an area they will need to address to build momentum moving forward.​
