SNY’s Ron Darling couldn’t believe Mets walk-off win

SNY has catered to New York Mets fans

throughout the years by showcasing the booth’s

response to some of the biggest games of the

season. Considering that the Mets boast one of

the greatest booths in baseball (the best, in the

opinion of AA’s readers), it’s important to

consider the reactions of two former players,

Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez, as well as a

lifelong fan, Gary Cohen, in real time. It goes

without saying, of course, that using rose-colored

spectacles within the booth might undermine its

legitimacy. However, that top-ranked Mets booth

does a fantastic job of offering a more balanced

viewpoint. However, Cohen and his peers are

never hesitant to seize a significant opportunity

and allow their honest and authentic reactions

shine through. That’s what transpired at the

Atlanta Braves game on Thursday. As was

already said, following a thrilling victory, fans

have become used to seeing the live look-ins at

the booth. Thus, Mets supporters were

particularly interested when the video finally

aired on X after Jeff McNeil’s walk-off single in

the bottom of the 10th inning. Cohen stood up.

Cohen is notorious for flinging his pen around

and raising his arms when he’s upset, but he

never allows it stop him from answering a call.

Cohen’s voice and volume both rose up right

before Braves outfielder Ramón Laureano

overran McNeil’s flyball down the right field line.

But perhaps that wasn’t the first thing you

noticed. On the other hand, you have Darling

rolling back in his chair, looking up at

Hernandez in just sheer, utter bewilderment. It’s

truly hard to believe that the Mets have turned

11 games under .500 into being just a half-game

back of the Braves entering Friday .That’s not,

however, what Darling found unbelievable.

Perhaps he’s finding it hard to accept that this

Mets club never gives up and always finds fresh

ways to win. Or maybe it makes more sense since

an outfielder, who is renowned for his glove,

utterly mishandled a flyball that would have

extended the game to the eleventh inning. This is

the same Laureano who gave his team a run

back a half inning ago due to a baserunning

error. Whatever the cause of Darling’s

frustration, he was the star of the show. Cohen is

typically the focus, and that was the case here as

well. However, it’s difficult to ignore Darling as

he stands there, utterly stunned by what has just

happened. Maybe that better captures the

essence of Mets in 2024 season to this point.

But the longtime SNY analyst is just along for a

ride (in his rolling chair) like the rest of us.
